I have an amazingly talented friend who is the owner of Seare Studios here in town and we have been collaborating together lately for a couple different shoots.   This one was soooo much fun!  I came to her with the idea that I wanted a camping themed backdrop with trees and a moon and what she came up with blew me away.  The little boy that I had this session planned for comes from a family that loves to camp.  The mom told me they are a huge camping family and if she could have any cake smash it would be a camping theme.  So Ashley Seare with Seare Studios and I went to work.   Here is how the amazing handpainted backdrop turned out!   If you want to purchase this backdrop or have a backdrop you would like handpainted head over to http://www.searestudios.com/ you will be glad you did!    After I received the backdrop I went to work with a variety of props and ideas and this is the setup I came up with. 

The adorable white wash wood floor is from http://backdropoutlet.com/ and is the 7202 white wash wood floor in a 6x8 dura drop.  I picked the rocks and wood for the firepit up from my front yard and gathered a few other camping items from friends in town.

The cake for the setup could not have turned out any better.   My cake is lady is AMAZING!!   I told her that it was a camping theme and she went to town and came up with this adorable cake...

Kru showed up for his session and was not very happy from the get go, and we ended up having to try on two seperate days to get some photos.   We did end up with some very cute ones even if he wasn't super happy.   But it was his birthday and he could cry if he wanted to.
