The Viczko Family& Sloane's smash the cake

I have enjoyed shooting the Viczko family for just over a year now through Shannon's pregnancy to their youngest daughter Sloane's 1st birthday. Each shoot has been super fun & filled with energetic kids - each with their own personality. Big sister Leora (6) loves the camera & dotes on her younger siblings, always trying to help out & such a sweety. 3 year old Joe was a bit of a challenge to photograph at the beginning of the year - NOT liking the camera at all & just generally avoiding being in any photos & if he was - it was with a scowl. I think my persistence has worn him down because at this last shoot he wouldn't get out of the shots! He loved looking through the camera with me & was cranky when I wasn't focusing on him. Little Sloane has been a great subject through her newborn & 6 month shots - but 1 year old...NO way. She's gotten some Independence & personality over the last year & does not like the camera or to be directed at all. When it came to the smash the cake portion she was hesitant to do any smashing but loved eating it! The whole family is wonderful & always such a pleasure to photograph & share a few smiles with. Thanks!
