Drew: A Pie-shaped Cake Smash for Pi Day

A few weeks ago I was asked by Bryanna to photograph a cake smash in Worcester for her youngest son, Drew. Drew’s birthday was 3/14- otherwise known as Pi Day. I was definitely game. I have known Bryanna for a while. A bunch of years ago she reached out to ask if I could photograph an Easter event that she organizes at Texas Roadhouse in Worcerster. Since then I have photographed that event every year and have eaten an truly horrifying number of ribs. I say this because Bryanna and her family have been less like typical clients and more like collaborators as I have gotten to know them a little bit over the years. Thus I was able to use them as guinea pigs to test out Be Studios in downtown Worcester. Photographing a cake smash is always a little tricky because you need a decent amount of space and good lighting because the whole thing is usually over pretty quickly.

I absolutely love how everything turned out and I can definitely say that I will be offering more cake smashes and other sessions at Be Studios in the future. Most of the credit goes to this killer setup and this awesome cake. I mean, look at that- I was basically just a dude laying on the floor with a camera for this session. And look at this little guy’s eyes!

Wanna smash some cakes? Me too!
