those baby blues and cake smashing! / {phoenix children's photographer}

"Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man.
Play with my cake? My mom says I can!
I blew out my candle, I made my first wish;
Won't someone please help me and hand me a dish?
Frosting on fingers and cake between toes is the best way to eat it, as everyone knows.
Don't try to wash me before I'm quite done; It's not every day that I get to turn one.
Smeared kisses and cake crumbs will all wipe away but never the memory of my first birthday!"

This session was so.much.messy.fun!!! I cannot believe that I photographed this little cutie when he was mere weeks old, and now look at him! We let him explore the area while I snapped some photographs of that serious little face. He was a fast one and crawled from one fun thing to the next--he gave me quite the run for my money! I just love this age, and I loved capturing the way he looks as he was crawling away...very quickly I might add! This sweet little boy got his sweet reward at the end of our session when he was given free reign to chow down on his very own oversized cupcake. You can't beat the look of intense concentration on his face, which was soon replaced with a grin as big as that cupcake! I call him my little smurf baby because of the blue tint his skin took on while smearing all that gooey sweet frosting on his body!

Want to schedule your own "Yummy Cupcake Smash" session for your little cutie pie? Just contact me and we will set it up! The cake is from the lovely Angie of The Cake Maker...this awesome treat can be customized with any color frosting you want, too! I love, love the insane brightness of this blue frosting! She even delivers! Just tell her that Laura sent you, and we can have this cake all set for your little prince or princess to tear into while I snap away! Mmmm...I'll leave you with another shot of all that yummy goodness!
