Cake Smash Photo Shoot for a Dog's 1st Birthday.... Chicago Pet Photographer

I was offering cake smash Mini Photo Shoots in June with delicious cakes made by Libby of Chicago Custom Cakes.  It was meant for babies turning one and I get a text from Kate of Kate Johnson Artistry saying "OMG, can I bring Honey..... my dog?"
Absolutely!  I then give Libby the count for cakes and for a cake for a dog.  "A dog?" Libby asks.
"You can do it Libby!"  and she did.  She made a delicious carrot cake with a peanut butter frosting for Honey (yes, I tried it).
Kate was in Dallas on business a year ago today and (I don't remember the story exactly) happened upon Honey.  Honey was lost, alone and scared and clung to Kate once she found her.  Kate brought Honey to her hotel, bathed and fed her and took to facebook to ask what she should do with this dog.  The response was unanimous.... KEEP THE DOG!
Kate kept Honey and they fell in love fast, their relationship is hilarious and they were meant to be together.
Kate showed us in true Kate fashion and I would not have had it any other way.  Balloons, a sparkly pink backdrop and a huge necklace for Honey to wear.
Honey loved the cake and I loved photographing Honey.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from Honey's photo shoot.
Happy 1st Anniversary of finding each other Honey & Kate!
