Laurie is turning 4-0 this month (every year after it’s 29:-) and she celebrated in the most epic way possible - with a cake smash photo shoot at Philippe Park in Safety Harbor. We had the honor of photographing Laurie and Jim's wedding 13 years ago, and it was an absolute blast to work with her again for this special occasion.

Laurie had a pinterest-y vision for her birthday shoot, and her mom totally nailed it with the most amazing props and details. From the balloons to the custom "40 and fabulous" cake topper, to the birthday sign with all the most important stats and probably the largest champagne glass I’ve ever seen.

The best part about sessions like this is that they're not just for little kids anymore, I mean there was cake, and glitter, but also champagne! When Laurie’s sister asked me if I could do something like this, I was like YES and I think we nailed it! If you want to celebrate your birthday with an awesome portrait session, we’re here for you!
