Might be different for you but you got it right, hard work with kids but good fun by the looks, the second from last says it all `Happy Birthday`
C&C welcome.

To be totally honest - this sort of shoot doesn't do it at all for me, but at the same time you've done an excellent job - you appear to have captured his happiness and character, and the lighting is superb - it's been interesting and informative to see you develop your skills so well over the last few years

No, I'm not really enjoying the cake smashing escapade either! Seems a bit silly. But they're real potent shots, and if the clients want it ....that's the business.
The others are really bright and full of vibrance, both colour and energy, and that's just what's needed for this happy occasion.

Can't say I enjoy seeing kids playing with messy food either, but such is the marketplace I guess. If the customer wants it....
Best regards, John

They all express the sheer id-fest that child is experiencing. One day this will bite him in the bum when his mother flourishes them in front of his intended

Yep One day this will bite him in the bum when his mother flourishes them in front of his intended
Thanks everyone
Certainly not everyone's cup of tea, rather American but if that's the trend and people are paying then ...

The colour images before the cake smash were taken on a white vinyl backdrop with a high key look to them, the monochrome images were taken on a blue backdrop as to turn it dark grey in post production. The distance from backdrop to subject was also shrunk so it caused a slight shadow to give the image more depth and gave a 'grounded' look.
Shot a lot more that are closer and more frame filling which I haven't included as I need to save some for the parents!
