Birthdays are quite the cause of celebration. My own son just turned 2, so I had to take some pictures to document this stage in his life. Cake smash sessions are great and lots of fun, but I think they work best for the "turning one" crowd. In an effort to come up with something different and fun, I decided a finger (or foot!) painting session would make for colorful images and allow Wesley an opportunity to have fun and get messy. Eye contact can be hard to come by with a 2 year old, especially one who is entirely immune to the camera. The images captured from this session made for a cute story board. You can be sure you'll be seeing it in the studio real soon!
