If you have kids, then you will understand the importance of marking this event. One mother knew this only too well, and decided to have one of our "Cake Smash" sessions to mark this for her son.
Now, these are just what they sound like. Think of them as "Child Vs. Cake", and yes, usually the cake wont win!
In order to try and minimize the mess, we lay down a large vinyl sheet to keep it under control.
But, mess aside, they always seem to enjoy themselves.
This particular little boy was no exception.
Once we were set up, and he was ready, then his Mum brought in the cake. In this case, she had provided her own, but we can provide the cake as part of the session if required (as long as their are no food allergies).
As you would expect, he was a little shocked at the sight of the cake, he didn't seem entirely sure what he should be doing. This is pretty normal, we spend ages trying to teach out kids not to play with their food, to them expect them too!
At first, he started to precariously pick the decorations off the top, looking at Mum, to see if he should be. Then, after a few minutes, the destruction began!
Hands, fingers, all in the cake. Face, Hair, Tummy, Feet, Legs; All covered in cake!
Brilliant! What a mess!
I really enjoy these sessions, they are messy, but they are great fun, and make for excellent photo's!
Here are a few of the images from the session for you.
