Ruston LA Child Photographer | Mary Brooks Cake Smash

AThousandWordsPhotographybyCatrina

I just can’t believe how fast all these babies are growing up. Mary Brook’s started coming to see me at 3 months old and she has been quite the serious model throughout her first year. She started opening up to me around 9 months though, I think she likes me!

All my parents get excited for their child’s cake smash session and all say ā€œOh yeah he/she loves to eat. They should be a pro at this!ā€. I mean a yummy cake from social bites who wouldn’t tear into it?? Despite what you may think, most kids don’t really care about it and some down right HATE being made to eat cake. I KNOW!!!! I’m thinking I may just switch roles and eat the cake myself in these situations, no waste right? If you hadn’t guessed, Mary Brooks was not a fan. She loved to play in it but she refused to eat it. I have to laugh in these situations cause we’re forcing a child to eat cake, I mean how terrible are we. After getting pictures of her playing in cake, mom and grandma cleaned her up and regular one year session began. Mary Brooks was a new kid after this! She’s still serious but she throws me a smile now and again. AND she decided to stand on her own for a picture as well! She’s not quite walking yet so mom was excited to capture this on camera.

I’m very sad to see this year go by for Mary Brooks, but I hope I get to see her again as she grows! Happy birthday sweet girl!
