Luka: My Rainbow Baby and Closing a Chapter of Motherhood – Green Rainbow Themed 1st Birthday Cake Smash Session

Life is full of chapters, each with its own unique beauty and significance. As a mother, my journey has been full of love, joy, and challenges. Today, I find myself reflecting on the bittersweet milestone of my last baby’s cake smash session. Luka, my precious rainbow baby, has brought immense happiness to our lives. While this celebration marked the end of an era, it also reminded me of the completeness and contentment that now fills our family.

The Big ONE – Gold and Greenery 1st Birthday Cake Smash Session

Special sentimental touches always get me. If clients have ideas to make sessions more personal I’m always game! This client takes the cake (pun intended) for sentimental touches.

Celebrating a first birthday with cake and succulents- Cake Smash 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 […]

Hole in One – 1st Birthday Cake Smash Session

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! […]
