Graciella's Cake Smash.

Cake smash photos are a blast- but they are definitely unpredictable.. I should say: toddlers are unpredictable. What I've learnt when photographing cutie-pie toddlers, is to roll with them and to photograph whatever they give you. It's not always about getting a "nice" photo, sometimes the real photos of the real moments are the ones that will be fun memories to look back on and laugh at. That's what the cake smash is all about!

So sweet Graciella wasn't a huge fan of my camera...but I actually think she just couldn't bear to 'smash' such a gorgeous cake made just for her!:P ..Eventually she warmed up for a quick game of peek-a-boo with me, and I'm proud to say I squeezed a smile out her cute little face. 

Here's a small glimpse of her cake smash! 

Thanks to her parents for embracing a toddler meltdown and photographing it anyway, and yes we even got a "nice" photo in there with a whole bunch of memories to look back on :)
