Cake Smash & First Birthday Photography

Here is a fun fact about me… I love plants! I love collecting them and I have a few dozen in my office on an a-frame in front of a large picture window. Most of the plants happen to be succulents. I’ve had a number of non-succulent plants but they tend to die. Succulents are […]

Who needs elaborate themes or fancy characters when a single color can bring a burst of wonder? This session proved that simplicity can be downright fabulous! We did a blue ombre cake smash session and it was just perfection. Sessions do not always have to have themes or characters- just a color can be a […]

I recently read that a hole in one is scored once in every 3500 rounds of golf. Have you ever scored a hole in one on an actual golf course? Maybe putt putt, but other courses would be a little more difficult. Overall, I would say that this hole in one was a grand success! […]

This adorable little man is one and we got to celebrate! We did a boho take on the “you are my sunshine” theme. There was also a small rainbow added in as an ode to this guy being a rainbow baby. The birthday boy is the third baby in the family that I have photographed […]

I am glad that I was able to have fun with this family! We really did have a fun family session with some new clients during the peak of fall color! We ended the session with a cake smash for little sis and it was a great ending to a fun session. Big sister got […]

This theme is really popular- winter ONEderland- but I love it! I enjoyed the pops of trees and twinkling lights that we used. This was mom’s choice- she wanted a white take on this theme with lots of lights and I think that it turned out ONEderful!! The sweet birthday girl got messy and full […]

I’ve photographed this family countless times over the last 6+ years and it’s always a joy! This session was extra joyful since we celebrated a birthday and New Years with New Years themed cake smash session. The birthday boy was born close to New Years, hence the theme. This sweet little man was a tad […]

This little guy was all smiles but didn’t care so much about eating the cake. Instead of eating it, he really liked poking a hole in the cake and playing with it. Big sis got in at the end to help feed her brother, although he was still not interested. No problem though, big sis […]

This little blue eyed beauty turned one and we were able to celebrate recently with a cake smash session. This was a new theme for me or at least a new combo of two popular themes – boho + twinkle twinkle little star. Mama would sing twinkle twinkle to the little girl all the time […]

This little sweetie is one and I am so glad that she came to celebrate in the studio with a cake smash! Her parents practiced with other cakes a number of times before the session and I could TOTALLY tell! This little lady dug right in and loved it! We did a winter ONEderland theme […]
