What a fun cake smash session this was! Matthew was a professional. He systematically picked at all the frosting of his cake made by none other than Cake-Tique! Matthew loves balloons so there were plenty for him to crawl around in. He was loving it! Thankfully he paid more attention to the cake than the balloons once we brought it out. Another successfully first birthday portrait!
Tyler is one year old! What a fun and special birthday it is! His Grandmother and Mom were on hand for the photos and you can see that this little guy gets all the love he needs from these ladies. I had so much fun chatting with them that I almost forgot to take photos! They brought the cutest cake smash outfit for him – a little hat, tie and diaper cover with a chevron print (my new fave pattern!). I’m so happy that people are putting out some cute stuff for boys to wear at these! Why should girls have all the fun? Tyler decided to give us a show stopper at the end of the session. He stood up without any help for the first time ever right in my studio!! Unfortunately I didn’t document it the first time because I was not ready. Thankfully he gave us an encore and I got it!! Such a treat that I was able to capture that moment for his family.
I’m so happy that family saw my photos up at Bellani Maternity because they are really just a pleasure to work with. I’ve had the honor of taking Calvin’s photos since he was… well in Mommy’s belly! The first picture I took of his face was of an ultrasound photo. Now here he is making a mess of his first birthday cake! He is turning out to be quite the handsome devil. Who is lucky enough to blue eyes like that?! Can’t wait for the opportunity to capture the next phase in Calvin’s life and see the family again!
I have done big Bro’s photos plenty of times, but now he has a little siter and she is taking over! Mom came prepared with tons of great outfits and accessories. We took tons of photos until finally we had to bribe everyone with cake to squeeze in a couple of more. When the cake came out this little lady did the cutest thing ever. She started doing the baby sign for “Please”. So adorable!! I will say one thing before I wrap this up… Jaime, you make some beautiful kids!!
Lots of babies do cake smash portrait sessions, but Sophie had an extra special one. All of her grandparents were in town so her Moms included them in the session. They got to pose for photos and witness the messy finale first hand! Thankfully Sophie was pretty careful with her cake so I was able to get lots of great photos of her. As always Lauren from Cake-tique made us the big cupcake. Because Sophie was pretty neat about her smashing the cake was in good enough condition to bring home. It was a win, win!
