Emmalyn's Cake Smash

I love doing Cake Smash Sessions!  I also really enjoyed this ladybug theme!  This awesome cake was made by The Hopeful Epicurean.  This session was the final one for the Year of Growth Package and as part of the package deal, it was FREE!  I am actually running a special deal on Cake Smash Sessions.  Right now, you can get this for only $100!  This special session is for a baby's first birthday and is up to 1 hour at my studio.  The cake is included as well as a coupon for 3 free digital downloads from the private online gallery.  A $25 non-refundable deposit is due to book a session and is applied towards the session fee.

Emmalyn has been such a joy to photograph this past year!  She is so expressive, and she LOVES to clap along with songs which is absolutely adorable.  She's seriously just so sweet!  She was fairly easily bribed to eat the cake by sticking her favorite snack to it.  Once she started eating it, she quickly got herself messy and then was ready to be done.  😂

Lila's Cake Smash

Lila got to celebrate her 1st birthday by smashing a cake!  She wasn't so sure about even touching this cake at first, but with some encouragement from the whole family, she eventually had a change of heart.  😊  Her big sister, Chloe, was happy to jump in and help.  After that, Lila seemed to know what to do.  She really enjoyed smearing the frosting on her toes.  😂  Chloe jumped back in at the end because she had done such a good job of encouraging her sister and being patient.

Evelyn's Cake Smash

This cake smash session was actually the first session done in the new studio!  I felt a little weird starting out with something potentially so messy, but I also figured cake should always be a part of new beginnings, so in a way, it was the perfect session to celebrate the opening of the studio.  😊

I was so excited to photograph Evelyn again!  Isn't she SO adorable??!!?  She took some convincing to actually eat the cake.  At first she just wanted to play with the icing, but with some help from her mom, she was easily convinced to dig in.  She consistently traded back and forth between her hands the whole time.  She also stopped eating the cake when she noticed she had clumps of icing on her dress so that she could carefully clean herself up.  In the end, we barely had any cleaning up to do!

Please join me in wishing Evelyn a very happy birthday!!  ❤
