This Nutcracker-themed cake smash session was pure magic! The birthday girl was a natural in front of the camera—stunningly beautiful and full of smiles.

Your baby’s first birthday is such a special milestone! A cake smash session is a fun way to celebrate and capture this moment. Picking the perfect theme can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some tips to help you get started!

This particular session was extra special for me. I’ve had the joy of photographing these beautiful twin girls since their NICU days, and what a journey it has been! Watching them grow into the vibrant, fun-loving 8-year-olds they are today has been such an honor.⁠

Every family is different, and I always make sure to customize sessions to match each family’s unique style. This session was all about simplicity, connection, and love. It was such an honor to capture these moments for this sweet family.

Newborns are always a joy to capture, but when siblings are involved, the energy is so much fun! This session was filled with lots of snuggles, kisses, and plenty of laughter. It’s always amazing to capture the first few weeks when everyone is still getting to know each other. The love and excitement in the air made it such a memorable session.

When a new baby arrives, it’s a big change for everyone, including older siblings. Teens and pre-teens often have mixed feelings about having a newborn in the house. They might be excited or a little hesitant. Some might want to hold the baby all day, while others might feel a bit distant or unsure. Both reactions are completely normal, and understanding these differences is key to a successful newborn photo session.

But that’s not all! Mom is a huge Halloween fan, so we couldn’t resist adding in some Fall and Halloween-themed shots. Pumpkins, spiders, bats, and all the cozy Fall feels made these moments extra special. It was the perfect blend of whimsy and seasonal fun.
