KAISERSLAUTERN CAKE SMASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Check out our Kaiserslautern family photography sessions for more sessions like this Kaiserslautern cake smash photography session in the area.

Our second session we did when we first got here was a Eltz Castle couples photography session with the Dickeys. After that session with them we kept in touch and would check in occasionally. Covid didn’t really help out with keeping current with photoshoots. With a lot of restrictions it was hard to be consistent with them, and others, with sessions. With their twins birthday coming up, Macey wanted to do a cake smash session with them. She put together some ideas and ultimately decided on doing a lumberjack themed session with the boys. During their birthday Bradley was deployed so we had to make due with photos of just the boys.

With a theme set and a timeframe I just had to locate some log piles to work with. I drove around the Kaiserslautern area for a bit and found one near the Ramstein base. The first spot I found was on a trail but the one we went with was right off the road. I parked and navigated Macey to the parking lot I was at. With Bradley being deployed, Macey had to recruit some help for the session. Twins can be a handful with day to day things so an extra hand was definitely great to have. Some of their friends came and were so helpful with getting their attention and keeping them safe.

RAMSTEIN BIRTHDAY PHOTOGRAPHY

To start things out they got in their lumberjack outfits and I had them sit individually on the log pile. With some good individual shots of each of them I had them sit up there together. After that we moved down the log pile a little further and found another good spot to take photos of them. Happy with these shots we went into a clearing I found in the nearby forest. Macey brought along all the decor and we got to work setting up the scene. We put up her fabric teepee up and hung balloons around it. There were also some 1 year old banners we put on the teepee as well next. Macey also had some wood crates we set up inside the teepee and a lantern we set outside it.

Before we gave them cake we put them in the teepee and got some good photos of them. After that we put them down to their plaid lumberjack diapers and their party hats. Then we put the cakes in front of them that Macey had made and watched to see what they would do. At first they weren’t sure what to do but they quickly caught on that it was time to eat! They smashed their hands and faces into the cake and ate away, even battling one another for cake. It was great getting to see the Macey family again and capture this Kaiserslautern cake smash photography session with them. If you’re in the Kaiserslautern area and have a birthday coming up we’d love to hear from you. Shoot us a message and let us know your vision and how we can partner with you!
