In my years of doing cake smash sessions, one of the best parts is taking bets with mom and dad beforehand as to what will happen. Will the baby pick at the cake? Eat it all in a dainty and polite manner? Or {ideally} will they shove it all in as quickly as humanly possible, as if it will disappear in the following moments. Usually this is baby’s first birthday and their first experience with cake, so you just never know. I’ve gotten pretty good at predicting by how they approach me when we meet.
The session was special. TWINS!! You have no idea how looking forward to this I was. I enjoy these sessions a little more than a grown adult should but with two babies?… Well let’s just say the Doublemint theme song played in my head for days before our appointment! Mom and Dad and I placed our bets but none of us predicted what would happen. See, no one took into consideration that these little cuties learned to crawl JUST. THIS. WEEK! And being in a new place?… well the cake stood little chance. Poor mom and dad. They canceled their gym date as they worked up a tremendous sweat in the hour we spent together. I got a lot of good shots despite these on the go little ones but I had to share a sneak peek picture that captured the essence of the photo shoot. More to come
