Senior pictures with your Boyfriend or Girlfriend.

Unfortunately parents often don't want the significant other to join in. While we are shooting pictures for the high senior we also have to remember that it's the mom and dad that are paying the bill and this gives them just a bit of say in what we photograph. So how do you solve this little stand off without causing a civil war with in the family? We look at both sides of the issues and we compromise.

Hank's First Birthday

There is no better day at the office than Cake Smash Day! What's not to love?? I get to take pictures of a cute baby completely obliterating a poor, unsuspecting dessert item. Now when you want to send a birthday cake to smushville you need to call in a specialist. Today's specialist in all things smashy is none other that the bruiser of buttercream, the punisher of pastries, the commander of cake clobbering, Mr. Hank the Tank!

Mr. Wallace's Smashed Cake

Then it was time to get to the main event and smash some cake! Now here's the cool thing I've noticed after doing tons of cake smash sessions. Instead of plowing into the cake and stuffing their chubby little faces, the first thing they do is share! Mr. Wallace was no exception. With a huge grin on his face he offered his mommy the first bite.
After sharing with mom it was time to get down to the business of some serious cake eating and smashing. Mr. Man smashed the cake, stuffed his face and squished frosting between every cute little finger and toe.

The Wallace Family

They were running around having a blast tossing a giant photo reflector around like a Frisbee and generally doing what kids do. At this point mom and dad were a little concerned but honestly with high energy children it's all about directing the energy rather than trying to stop it. The most genuine smiles come from when kids are having fun. So I occasionally start a game of catch with my reflectors because the kids can't hurt them. After that the kids realize I'm there to play it changes the whole dynamic of the shoot.

First Birthday Cake Smash

Mr. Daniel came to us... well actually his mother did because a random baby just walking into our office would be a bit strange. So Daniel's mom came to our studio looking to do a cake smash and family portrait session combo. which worked out perfectly because that's what we prefer to do with all cake smash sessions. Before we introduce the cake we usually take time to shoot a mini family session. Including family portraits in a cake smash session is a great way to really celebrate the first birthday milestone while documenting you family at that stage in your lives. We highly encourage at least a few family pictures before the main event.
