{ Now That Looked Like Fun }

A childs first birthday is a very special event. It is a major milestone in their life.

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.

{ I love seeing how they've grown! }

It is nice when, after a few months, an old customer arranges for us to come back and take some more photo's for them.

Well, in this case, it was around 6 months after out first session.

Back then, the youngest 'E' was only 4 weeks old. Now, she is seven months, and has come on a lot.

Sitting, Rolling, smiling, almost a different child.

Anyway, once I arrived and set-up, we got down to taking the photo's. Their son, 'G', was still as lively as ever. But, I like it when they're like this, makes for a fun session.

Sadly, we had a bit of trouble getting him to hold his baby sister or even sit with her for the photo's, but we did manage to get the obligatory family group shot.

Here are few of my favorites from the session, but there are many more. Lets hope that Mum & Dad are as happy with them as I am.

Thought it was about time....

Hi,

I thought it was about time that we started a blog to make it easier to post our latest news, and to post previews from recent sessions.

Now, things are still very much work in progress, so things may be a little slow, but give it time, and it will all be here.

Of course, this is not going to be a replacement for our website Website or our facebook page. It is in addition to them.

Feel free to hop over to our website, or facebook page and take a look.
