Amy + Family Cake Smash
I have been lucky enough to be photographing Amy and her family for quite a few years now. I remember doing a cake smash for Jace. Now it was Ellie’s turn and she did not disappoint. Before we got to the cake smash though, we did some family portraits outside. It was quite sunny out, so we found some shade by the tree in their front yard and captured some great moments. Ellie was so calm the entire time. I think she was more confused by me if anything, which worked out perfectly!

Amy then brought out a beautiful mirror and let Ellie play around it for a few minutes. She didn’t quite know what to make of it but I was able to get some good photos nonetheless. I also snapped a couple picks of their dog Oliver who is still looking great. He was busy chewing on a bone so it was relatively easy to get a good photo.
We then headed inside to Ellie’s room and did the cake smash portion of the session. Ellie was very delicate with the cake and it was a slower paced cake smash. Regardless, I got so many awesome photos and reactions. It’s hard not to with those enormous blue eyes of hers. Jace was his usual photogenic self as well.
I really can’t believe how fast time goes by. Amy says there are no kids planned as of now so I guess Jace and Ellie will have to do for now!
Zaylee Mae Cake Smash Session
Zaylee Mae will be turning one very soon so her mom Brittney decided it would be a good opportunity to do a cake smash! Using the word smash may be a bit generous, but you get the idea. Zaylee Mae definitely needed a bit of encouragement to even touch the cake which was quite funny. For the first few minutes she just stared at it, not really knowing what to do. Once Brittany gave her a little taste of the cake Zaylee settled right in.

By the end of the session she had a face full of cake and a smile on her face. Although, there was a tiny bit of crying mixed in to and I made sure to capture some of those photos. At the very least, they can be used at her wedding way down the road. I apologize in advance!
Overall it was a very fun session and I’m sure by the time she turns two she will be much more aggressive with the cake.
