We started by taking pics of just M, then set out the cake and put her down to see what she would do. She did crawl over to the cake with curiosity, but once she touched the icing, she was a bit confused. She then wanted nothing to do with the cake, and wanted mommy to get her out of there. So, we took a break, calmed her down and tried to ease her into having some interest in the cake, but that didn't seem to work much; and that's ok. We still got some cute pictures that tell a story, and that's what it's all about. The great thing about photography is it doesn't have to be perfect...in fact, often times those unplanned pictures are the ones that turn out best!
