That’s exactly what happened at this little one’s first birthday session! Blue icing was EVERYWHERE… his feet, his hands, his face, his mom’s shirt! But we definitely had fun doing it

This little man was all fun and smiles for his first birthday session, that is until we gave him his cupcake… I know, you’re thinking, what kid doesn’t like cupcakes?! Well, this cupcake was a special vegan cupcake and this little guy was not diggin’ it LOL! I heard he got some sugary cupcake goodness afterwards, though to compensate for us torturing him
Happy birthday cuteness!




What a sweetie! I loved listening to her chatter while we were walking around the studio! I think we talked about everything possible to talk about. She loves her grandmother’s dog like you wouldn’t believe!




Now, same family as below, but baby brother is here! The sister is one of my favorite girls ever, I have been shooting her for over 5 years. She’s the daughter of a very close friend of mine I have known for 12 years. They just welcomed her baby brother. This shoot had been building in my head for 8 months, ever since I found out they were expecting. I’m SO thrilled with the results. It helps to have such a patient big sister (she’s almost 10 years old!).







I’m sure a lot of our blog readers know this family on sight by now. I’ve known the daddy for 12 years (I met him just after high school!) and when they told me they were expecting, I literally squealed with delight and then cried a little in happiness. I really am SO happy to be able to be ‘there’ with them in this. I still am horrible at maternity images, so I had Frankie there with me to give them stunning belly photos, then I finished up with the family photos.








I love this girl. I had her for her newborn session and Frankie had her for her 4 month session, and now here she is again at 8 months. She was cutting FOUR teeth for our session, but we managed to get a few smiles out of her.





Check out misses chunk-a-lunk here! 9.5lbs when she came in to see me, and oh so perfectly sweet. Carrying her around while she was getting to sleep make my arms want to fall off. Once she got to sleep, she was OUT. LOVE the hat mom had with her.






This little one is the newest of four babies and I love how laid back mom and dad were. They were up for anything I wanted to do and really were fabulously mellow and kind. Plus, how can you get over such a sweet face?
