John is ONE! West Lafayette, IN Cake Smash Photographer

John is turning ONE next week and was in the studio for the end of his Grow with Me sessions.  These sessions are so much fun and it's a bittersweet moment not only for the mommy's but for me as well.  I saw him from the time he was in his mommy's belly to  his newborn and 6 month milestone sessions and now it makes my heart so full to be able to have a little celebration for his 1 year birthday!

The dinosaur theme his mommy chose will go in my top favorites list for cake smashes that I've done so far.  She gave me her vision as far as theme and color choices and I ran with it!

John warmed up quickly and flashed his adorable little smile at me even before we started his session, which was the norm for him.  He was all smiles for his 6 month as well.  As long as we didn't put him "in" anything he was happy!  We had to trick him to get him in the egg (hidden snacks most always do the trick) and the bath was slow going at first until he realized he could splash then he was a happy camper. He had me cracking up with his super cute little snapping of his fingers, dancing to the music with mommy. And at the end we got him showing everyone how he is "so BIG"!  Check out some of my favorites from his session below!
