Holden, MO Cakesmash Photographer ~ One in a Melon!

I just met this sweet little lady and she came in with some sass let me tell ya! She was FULL of personality! It was so fun getting to meet her during her cake smash session!

It’s not to often they are walking when I do their cake smash… not usually anyway, but my past few have not only been walkers but RUNNERS! It wears mom out but it makes for some fun photos! This girl even picked up my stool and was trying to take a big ‘ol bite out of it.. we were dying laughing at her! (see photo below)

Then comes the smash part of the photo session! She was NOT into the cake at all. Given her spunky, fun personality we thought she was going to really tear into it! NOPE. Not even close! But see, that is where my job comes in ! It may not go smooth as we would like and isn’t always as fun as it looks… but you pay me to capture these photos and I will do my absolute best to do it no matter the situation! See the photos below and you would never know she didn’t have the time of her life! We did it! It takes some work but we get through it! Now mom will have these photos to remember this time in her life forever and I know when Aspen grows up she will get a good laugh out of them too!

And then there’s the bath….. they almost always love the bath even if they don’t love the cake…. Aspen however was over us at this point…… but we still managed to get a smile.
