A cake smash is the perfect way to celebrate a 1st or 2nd birthday

I first photographed Allyssa when she was just 8 days old, now she was returning for some updated photographs for her parents Jenni and David. Jenni originally just want a 1 hour photoshoot in my new studio; however I suggested that we should end the session with a cake smash after all it was Allyssa’s 1^st birthday. Jenni had never heard of a cake smash before so I explained what it was all about and let her see some images of previous cake smashes. She thought it would be a great idea so we agreed to add the cake smash to the end of the photoshoot. Allyssa was adorable during here photoshoot with several outfit changes, with 20 minutes to go she was introduced to the cake and her eye lit up. At first she was a bit apprehensive and after many glancing looks at here mum and dad she tentatively tastes the cake; before long she had torn into the cake and had both hand full. I could hardly hold the camera still from laughing as she eagerly munched her was through some rather large chunks of cake, she was loving it. However like all good things it had to end and she was not too happy when she was separated from the cake. Mum and dad quickly cleaned here up while I cleaned up the crumbs and had a sneaky bit of the delicious cake that was left.
