Smash Cake Session

     For Dawson's birthday, I really wanted to do a smash cake photography session.  I had seen them done before and just thought they were the cutestes thing in the world.  I asked my photographer if she did them.  She said she did, however she said they were really hit or miss.  She said most kids didn't get into the cake at all and therefore they didn't turn out real well.  I assured her that I thought Dawson would do great.  We scheduled the shoot for the day before his birthday.  Since Ella and Dawson's birthdays are so close, we decided to also have Ella in the shoot.  This was Dawson's first taste of sugar before.  We put that cake in front of him and he took the first bite.  He immediately fell in love and went to town.  He just kept eating it.  The photographer got a huge kick out of it.  We finally had to take the cake away because I thought he may get sick.  Ella also started getting into once she saw Dawson.  The photographer said it was by far her best smash cake session.  I told her he wouldn't disapoint! Shannon is an incredible photographer, and like usual she did a wonderful job capturing the moment.  Here are some of my favorite shots.  

Here he is before he started eating.  He was very excited to get started.
