Gus Turns One! Cake Smash and all...
If you are a mum this little intro will be all too familiar... if becoming a mum or thinking about being a mum... wherever you are at in your life journey... if you think life is going fast now - let me tell you, life with a child goes by like you're running a 100 metre sprint 50 times a day! Life without is perhaps like running a marathon and stopping for a long as you like at each drink station for a chat!
When I was pregnant with my little Tasma (she's 18 months this week!) I would hear a lot from mums and dads alike that "time goes so fast when you have kids - make the most of it!" and every time I heard it I used to roll my eyes as if to say 'yeah yeah yeah, I've been told this 1000 times over!' Truth be told they were so right! Kills me to say that!
From the minute a baby is born, life changes from being all about us, to all about the baby. Time revolves around the Feed, Change Nappy, Feed, Sleep schedule. Sleeps go from something like four sleeps during the day, to three, then to two and then to before you know it you're down to just one sleep a day... suddenly time has completely gotten away from you and child has just turned ONE!!! Where did that time go?!
Karlie & Johnny know all too well what it's like to experience the above! Their little man Angus turned one last month and what better way from them to celebrate such a momentous occasion was to come and have Angus's portrait taken, along with some family portraits of all three and then finished off with a super fun 'Cake Smash'. This was the first time I'd been asked to photograph a Cake Smash, and so I thought - why not, this could be really fun - and it was! Little Gus was in heaven! At first he was a little unsure as to what was supposed to happen, but then once he got a taste of getting his hands in that cake, there was no stopping him!
If you little munchkin is about to turn One and you have been thinking about having some family portraits taken to record this big milestone, please get in touch with me! It is so much fun and I promise you, you will have a great selection of precious photos to choose from!
Big Love
