Raleigh Family Photographer | Cake Smash Photography | Cohen Sneak Peek

 

 

 

Sometimes a cake smash session is a slam dunk and the birthday baby is all hands on deck for cake, and even more cake. And the rest of the time the birthday baby wants nothing to do with the cake. This dapper birthday boy was part of the latter. Haha. I will say it’s not for a lack of trying on mommy’s part. Mommy picked this guy up, got covered in frosting herself and even ate some cake to try and get him to take part.

Nope! He wasn’t having it. (Not even when we tried ice cream). Haha.

 

I absolutely loved the set up for this cake smash session. I loved the colors in the backdrop. Mommy was able to use these adorable tribal banners with bright blue and aqua shades with a splash of gold. This made for a great background. The brightness of those really helped bring out the color is those baby blue eyes of his. No, I did not edit the eyes in his photos. They are THAT blue. His eyes were so captivating and at certain angles they were almost like bright blue lights.

I found this perfect cake stand at Pier 1 in Holly Springs, NC the day before his cake smash. I was looking for a wooden cake stand for months. I am sure to support other small local businesses, especially when it comes to my cake smash photography sessions. I allow my clients to pick from a list of bakers and reach out to them to see who is the best for for my client. Some of the bakers I use even deliver the cake to my photography studio here in Holly Springs. This simple white  cake was baked and decorated by a local baker, Wendy’s Confections & Cake Shop.

It was so fun to work with this little guy. He was so cute and so sweet…. none of that changes when the little one doesn’t like cake. Sometimes, using this session as an example, it makes them even cuter!
