This little girl knew what she wanted. With her eyes on the prize and a look of determination, she dove into that beautiful pink and purple cake. It was like she had been waiting her entire 12-month life for this moment. I couldn’t help but chuckle as this sweet little girl took one tasty bite after another. I haven’t captured a child who dove right into the cake with such eagerness for a few weeks. She literally took the cake! What a cutie.

I had both a one-year-old session and Ella’s sweet two-year session this week, and WOW what difference a year makes! Kiddos grow so very fast in their first five years. No wonder their parents want to capture every minute of it!
A Piggy-Tail Princess
I love when kids hit that two-year mark and are ready to graduate from studio portraits to outdoor sessions! Random fields like this are my favorite to shoot in. The little-known ones are the best because we don’t have to work around a crowd and people haven’t trampled down the golden blades of grass. The sun was perfect giving us just the right ..read more

There truly is nothing stronger or more beautiful than the love of a parent. Sometimes I hear older generations comment about how over-the-top the younger generations are with their kids, doing gender reveals, cake smashes and birthday photo shoots, but my guess is that they felt the same way as young parents—if given the chance, they probably would’ve gone all out with these recent trends and celebrations, too. I think it’s impossible for a parent to try to contain the joy that their kids bring them. I always love seeing new parents come into my studio with sleepy eyes but unfading smiles. No ..read more

Seasonal television commercials always start showing just a little bit before the actual season. I know this drives some people crazy, but I always get so excited when I see the summer commercials—families grilling on the back patio, kids running carefree in the backyard, hammocks with cold drinks, outdoor picnics and plenty of swimming. So nostalgic. We live for this easygoing, memory-making time of year when everything slows down just a little bit so we can spend more family time together.

Have you ever been out a restaurant or walking in the park when a certain couple caught your eye? You couldn’t look away because there was just something about them—full of life and love—that made you smile. I’m an observer and a people watcher. Maybe that comes with the photography territory (I’m always looking to capture those sweet moments in life). But if I had just been out and about, I know that these two beautiful ladies would’ve caught my eye, and I might have even asked them to do a shoot with me. Their happiness was that intriguing.

Baby laelia was such a joy to photograph for her one year & cake smash photos. First, we took some portraits of her before things got messy. Her little red dress and her smile just lit up the room! She was happy as could be smiling for the camera in her own little photo shoot—she grinned up at us as if to say, “I am a big girl now!” I couldn’t get over how poised and polite she was during the session! What a sweetie.
