Love it! Looks great!

My only one critique would be that the picture above the #10 and the picture below the #10 are too similar for my taste (minus the cake) but that is a minimal thing ... very, very cute.

Thanks for pointing that out. We thought about it too but weren't too sure about placement. Do you think I should move them around or replace 1 with another shot?

I can see the progression through the shoot ... and I think the one WITHOUT the cake is a great way to finish it ... IF you have another great shot that you can replace the one WITH the cake then maybe ...

But, again, the parents are probably going to be blown away with this (what size are you printing this, if at all) that they aren't going to notice the little things that we pick apart here.

Excellent! Great shots, nice background vs. cake color. Great idea, only thing is I wish I thought of doing something like this for my kids. Keep it up!

Ok Thanks. This is a 20x20 story.

Thank you I really appreciate it.

This is adorable! And typical for a first birthday. I love it.

I would just like to add something -
I'm thinking, perhaps the whole image would look a little simpler without the top row? Each of the other rows has a solid block, which unifies them, but the top row seems a little out of place, imho. Then again, I like things "even" so maybe its just me.

Thank you! Since its a storyboard, I really can't take out the top row. I see where you are coming from though.

Oh, its a Storyboard! Cool! My bad I thought it was something else, like an image or postcard kind of thing. I can't really explain what I mean...:blushing:

So, uh, never mind my comment then.

Its ok. If anyone wants a copy of the story board feel free to send me a pm with an email address. I can most certainly share! :sillysmi:

Excellent work! When I do my cake smash shots, I place a piece of plexi glass underneath the 1 yr old. You get an awesome reflection, and clean up is a piece of cake (pun intended!)!

Beautiful!!!

Thank you! I tried the plexiglass with my boys. Somehow the effect I got wasn't too pleasing. It wasn't a soft reflection like in most cakesmashes I have seen.

So what background did you shoot on then. Very wicked storyboard. If it was my kids 1st bday I would have loved it.
