There were a lot of things I did with Joshua that I haven’t done with Emma. Like worry about every tiny scrap of anything he picked up off the floor and put in his mouth and what contaminants he might be ingesting.
So with Emma, I’ve tried to do things that I didn’t do with Joshua.
Like cake smash photos.
(To be fair, weย have cake smash photos of Joshua. But nothing fancy. Just him in his high chair with awful lighting and bright red icing.)
The cake was homemade. Home decorated. That little cake stand? $1.99 on a Target end cap. Thank you, post-Easter baby Jesus for the clearance.
She was not so sure about this cake on a plate in her bloomers in the back yard business. And also unsure of all of the people standing around watching her.
“Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!” She claps. It’s adorable.

This was her chosen method of cake-eating. Perhaps she is training for a future as a competitive eater?
She finally decided to use her hands. But pretty much just for this one bite.
A smize to make Tyra herself proud, right?
Okay, lady, you’ve had your fun. The big kids are playing on the swingset and I need to go and join them. Okay? Okay.
And she’s off.
She’s not amused. But she’s certainly cute.
The cutest pictures ever!
Thanks!
Seriously could she BE any more cute?!?!
Hmmm. Nope. ๐
Zohmahgosh!!! I die! So, so, so cute!! You’re going to have to teach me how to make a cake look that pretty; cake stand = perfect. Emma you’re so beautiful!!
That cake was a complete pain in my ass. I’ve yet to find a frosting I like working with and should maybe just stick to fondant.
So happy for you all. Happy 1 year to you, too, Mama. You made it!
Whew. We did!
So cute!
Thank you!
Definitely has the cute factor!
She totally does. Not sure where she got it from!
I was surprised she sat for so long..and I love that she went face first into it!
I think she was really distracted by my mom and I staring at her. Really distracted.
Love her and her sass.
The sass is strong with this one!
How adorable!!! She is an absolute beauty!!!
Thank you!
Adorable! She looks so serious about the whole situation… Eating cake in the backyard wearing only underwear – that’s what dreams are made of. ๐ And that cake stand — AWESOME score for $1.99! Good eye, Mama!
She was so confused. So. And that cake stand will get lots and lots and lots of use!
Happy 1st Birthday to the little one!
Love the pink bloomers! That is the CLEANEST cake smash photo shoot I’ve ever seen. So adorable!
Wishing you a lovely day!
xoxo
Right? I was totally expecting more smashing. Nope.
MIRANDA! These pictures came out beautiful! You did a fantastic job with this photo shoot. Your depth of field was spot on. And I love her expressions! So glad you went for this. Way to go.
AAHHH!!! Thank you for your help, Jill!!
Super sweet. She was totally not into the mess! ๐
No, she totally wasn’t. Which is weird because normally she’s all about the food.
That picture with her hand on her hip and her expression! “Are you done already mom?” Just love it!
My little sassypants ๐
I love her facial expressions!
She does have some awesome ones!
Happy Birthday to your sweet girl! Beautiful pics! And it was your birthday recently, too, yes? Happy Belated to you both!
Mine was the 13th, so yes. Thank you!
(Actually, all 4 of us have birthdays between March 13th and April 9th. It’s quite the busy month!)
