Cake Smash Session

This little guy will be turning 1 in a few weeks. His momma is a friend of mine from h.school and we reconnected through FB. She and I both had the same idea of doing a cake smash with him. It started really slow because she has him trained to not tear into his food. LOL By the end of this session, we were acting really goofy to bring out some of the responses I got. I also have some candid moments that even though you can see my backdrop stand....it is just too sweet.

I can only hope my kids will be that well trained when I get around to having kids! A one year old who WON'T tear into his food?
The candids were very cute as well, and even though I was looking for it, the backdrop stand really didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I'm sure your friend doesn't mind it either, it's a small nit.
3, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11 are my favorites, although that certainly doesn't narrow it down very much! They're all great images, I always enjoy seeing your work!

Thanks, I appreciate that. It was so funny, his mom kept apologizing to me that he wasn't getting as messy as we had hoped. lol When she first put his hand in the cake to get him started, he looked at her as if to say, "are you mad woman??"

Someone had a fun time at their photo shoot. They're all keepers. But #8 takes the cake -- no pun intended.

I agree with you about the candids... it's like you captured that "sigh of relief"! Again, fabulous set! Thanks for sharing.

Lovin' my Canon 5D Mark II!
I have have to try that with my twin grandsons who are 14 months. Do people have cakes on Labor Day?
What lens did you use?

It's all about the moment...
It is always fun to tell a little one involved in a project like this, that they got some in their hair.
They will immediately put both hands up on their scalp to feel for what they are eating.
My uncle used to love to do this with little ones eating mashed potatoes!
Needless to say, everyone thought it was hysterical except the child's parents.

I used my 50mm for the majority of the shots. I tried to use my 17-70mm lens, but I'm finding that is causes hot spots on the mask of the face. That's a whole other thread though.
I think that would be a great idea for even 14 month olds. It was fun.

Thanks so much for the Comment. To be honest with the lights, I just set it to where I thought looked good in the lcd. I still would like for us to have a meeting on flashes and studio type lighting. I would love for more of my work to feel like the lighting was intentional and on purpose rather than happy little accidents.
