Kansas City Cakesmash Photographer ~ Robbie’s Mickey Mouse Cake Smash

This isn’t the first and wont be the last Mickey Mouse Cake Smash I do, He is a timeless character that ALL the kiddos love! I remember watching the Mickey Mouse Club house after school when I was young, when Justin Timberlake, Brittney Spears, Christina Aquilera among others were on there! ( showing my age here). But my son who is now a teenager, LOVED Mickey when he was little, it wasn’t a normal day if I didn’t hear the hot dog song a million times! Robbie obviously loves Mickey as much as my son did, 13 years later!

I did his sister’s cake smash session when she turned one and it was Minnie Mouse of course!! They both had their newborn photos done at one month old and they both slept like a log right through them, I got lucky! When you do a 1month old newborn session you never know how it’s going to go, if they are going to snooze or be up and ready to party! Luckily most the time I find they do great, sometimes better than when they are in the prime 14 day window to do the newborn session. But back to Robbie’s cake smash session…… This boy was a HOOT! He smiled and laughed, made faces and ran around all over the place, he was awesome!

BOY IN MICKEY ONESIE

Then came the cake! He wasn’t to sure at first……..

But then he warmed up and went to town on this smash cake!

Yep… he slayed it! The best part was his bath though! I have never seen a kid go crazy like he did in this tub…his mom and I laughed so hard at this kid! His arms were going as fast as they could splashing and water was flying everywhere! Arms and legs were both flying ! End result was a clean baby, adorable bath photos and a huge mess for me to clean up. Perfect cake smash session in the books!

Lexington, MO Newborn Photographer ~ Easton’s Milestone Session

Mr. Easton was back for his 3 month milestone session a couple weeks ago! This lucky guy has two older sisters and the best mom and dad a boy could ask for! I love them all to pieces! This little guy is just the icing on the cake! He is 100% his daddies twin and has the biggest dark eyes, which is a stark contrast to his sisters who have the brightest blue eyes like their momma!

Did I mention that he has the BEST hair? lol I love it!

I have done multiple Newborn, Milestone, Cake Smash, Maternity, and Family Sessions for Caitlin and she ALWAYS goes above and beyond and picks the cutest clothes for her and her family, she could be my full time session stylist! No joke! lol My favorite memory of them has to be her maternity session when pregnant with this boy….. Emerson wasn’t having it… well because she was almost two and that’s just how two year old’s are ( they LOVE photos… NOT!) ….. we have a lot memories from that session for sure. It was pretty funny! So Here is one more of Mr. Easton, mainly because I love the face he was making, they are always my favs.
