The other day I did a birthday shoot for Landon ~ He was celebrating a very BIG birthday...His first Birthday. We did a "cake smash" birthday shoot. He got to devour a chocolate cake with chocolate icing all by himself. An I got to shoot it.
It was awesome watching him. First Landon was staring at it with disbelief that he was sitting in front of it. Then he slowly reached out for it while looking up at his mom & grandmother., waiting for then to say "no". When that didn't come he took the chocolate covered strawberry from the top of the cake & started to nibble on it. And still - not a "no" from either one of them. Just lots of laughing. Then Landon began to take fist fulls of cake. Before you knew it he was doing push ups into the cake - face first. Landon was now on a blissful chocolate cake high.
I think I had as much fun as Landon - getting to capture it all in photos. At the end of the shoot, Landon was so covered he looked good enough to eat.
For Landon's 1st Birthday - not only did he get cake, he got to eat it too!
