At first, This little birthday girl was apprehensive about her cake.. She kept her pretty little eyes on me and the camera for most of her session.

Although she started off slow, she eventually got the hang of it.. And then got a little more messy, had a few more smiles, and got a lot more sugar! One of the things that we all thought was really funny, was the way she took these little tiny bites… Then open her mouth so big, almost as she was eating a huge cheeseburger. It was the cutest thing.

Once she got the hang of it…. She really enjoyed herself.

We wanted to design the cake smash that had a lot of pretty pastel colors. Her mommy made the tutu with light pastel tule. The cake was a pretty pastel rainbow ruffle. Because of the light colors, I decided to go with a darker and more bold backdrop along with this beautiful aqua colored cake stand. Picking the perfect cake stand can sometimes be one of the most important decisions when designing the cake smash photography session. Initially we were considering a silver cake stand, but just to give a little more color we opted with the aqua one.

She definitely seemed very hungry, but I don’t think she wanted to ruin her lunch by eating too much cake. Haha! She was kind of dainty, and conservative with her little cake bites. But nonetheless she got the job done. She got just a little bit messy but tons of absolutely adorable!

It is usually evident when they’re all done with her cake smash.. We call it a wrap and start cleanup. After we thought she was way done with her cake smash, mommy and daddy began to prepare to clean her up, which is kind of a big job. Then she decided she wanted more cake… Daddy was happy to help. It was really such a cute photo opportunity, I picked up my camera quickly and was able to get a few shots like this. It was so stinkin cute! Don’t you think?
