This 50th Surprise Party is a good example of capturing the fun moment of serving the guest of honor with his favorite cake and signing happy birthday. Additionally, the photographer captured the cigar and scotch bar, which are two of the guest of honor’s favorite things.

If it’s your child’s first birthday make sure you capture the smash cake in all its glory with the guest of honor and the parents. (top photo Comfort Photography bottom photo Sarah Sofia Productions)
