My baby is 1! ~ Carisa Keeling Ames, Iowa Photographer
Posted on July 8, 2010
Well, my little baby boy is one now. Actually, he was one last month…but with wedding season I haven’t had a chance to breathe, let alone blog his birthday party. I just had to share these shots from his big cake smash. He had a great time. We ordered his birthday cake from the crew at Devil’s Food Desserts here in Ames and it was fabulous! The did a wonderful job and the cake was absolutely delicious as well. I highly recommend them for any special occasion. Ava is still trying to decide what to have hers look like. She will be three before I know it!
So, this post is really more for personal stuff. Some of the pics are even more snapshots. But I really want my clients to get to know me a little bit, and seeing my kiddos (and my wonderful hubby, that’s Rob in the last shot) are a HUGE part of my life. An occasional appointment has been rescheduled to take him to the doctor, but I think you all will think he is worth it. He is definitely one cute little kid…and that is not just his biased mommy talking.
Be watching for his one year portraits as I will be bloggin’ them soon.
This is wonderful cake from Devil's Food Desserts.
The cake was so yummy! It was half chocolate and half white with raspberry buttercream icing in the middle and vanilla buttercream all around the top. The frosting had a rich, creamy texture and it smashed VERY well as you can see in the next images.
You can see Blake reaching for his little smash cake.
He was a bit tentative at first...
But he quickly warmed up to the idea of making such a mess!
Mommy, I am havin' soooo much fun!
It was straight to the bathtub for him, his sister and his highchair! I even had to hose off the new deck 
Haha Awesome stuff!
I can understand the love a mommy has for her baby! Call it a “mom” thing. Our daughter is now 10! I wish I would have thought to have her own personal little cake made. What a lucky kiddo Blake is! Wonderful pictures of a time you will never forget! Love them all, beautiful family!
Love the images of your cute son eating the cake, amazing! Very creative and he is ubber cute! (the picture of him with his tongue out is my favorite)
What an adorable baby. Looks like he likes the green icing. Too cute.
So adorable! Your baby is just gorgeous! The big one year. I love that you did a cake smash session. My children weren’t so happy to have cake in the face, but your child looks excited! I wish you two many more wonderful years. You are a talented photogrpaher. Wish that you were in Delaware!
What a cute set of images.
That cake is adorable, and the baby..too cute for words! what beautiful photos!
