Ryen's Cake Smash!

I've always wanted to do a one year old birthday cake smash with a cute little client, and what do you know?! I happen to have a sweet little daughter who is about to turn one! She was my test subject since it was a first for me as a photographer and mommy (setting up a cake studio somewhere with enough light in these dreary fall months, having a plan for the mess afterward, making a cake that would photograph well, etc.). She wasn't a big fan of digging in the frosting, especially after she tipped over the cake and it scared her. It took a lot of tears & convincing to get her anywhere near that cake again, but I finally got her to at least sit by it for a few more shots. It was a lot of (unpredictable) fun, and I'm hoping to be able to do it again someday with another little one!
