Anna’s Cake Smash Shoot! | 08.24.10 | Maine Baby Photographer

Melissa contacted me a while back about doing a “cake smash” shoot for her daughter, Anna, right before her 1st birthday. I was thrilled, because not only do I love kids (especially chubby little babies!) but I’d never done a cake smash shoot before and was excited to try it out! It is exactly what it sounds like: you set the child down in front of a cake and let them smash the heck out of it. Amazingly enough, babies are EVEN CUTER when covered from head to toe in frosting (and a whole lot more edible). I went to Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, with Melissa, her husband and Anna and we had a blast exploring the park and then smashing some cake!
