When mom showed me the adorable silver tutu she brought along, I died.  I said, “I have this really sparkly background that would look amazing with, want to try it?!”  Mom was all for it.  It was perfect!  Baby J was so teeny tiny and she slept right through our whole session.  She had the most perfect little doll features.  She snoozed in our pretty spring garden full of brightly colored hydrangeas.  She curled right up into the arms of her adoring mom and dad.  I could have photographed her all day!  And isn’t her mom one of the most gorgeous new moms on the planet?!  They were such a beautiful family and we had a great morning together.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Last week ended on the sweetest note with gorgeous 6 month old B and family visiting our studio.  I last got to photograph her back in the fall as a newborn, and was so excited to see the beautiful baby she’s grown into!  She was a natural in front of the camera and the session flew by.  We started with an adorable tea party with her favorite teddies, and then decided B might want a turn on the swing too!  These swing pictures are a little bit of photoshop magic because baby is always safely supported by plenty of helping hands at the studio.  B was a perfect little breath of spring!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Sweets + a sweet model = an epicly sweet shoot! Shoots like this remind me how much I love my job.    Sweet Indulgence called us the day before this happened and asked if we wanted to pop over to their shop for a quick shoot, and I had no idea that THIS would happen! We started out shooting the table of cakes and candy, then added in our bridal model to create a ‘fashion’ shoot to show off the stunning wedding cakes that Sweet Indulgence now makes. The tiers of lace in the background, her dress, and then the ruffles on the cake all came together for a vintage-elegant look.

Wedding cakes and dessert table: Sweet Indulgence

I had so much fun with this gorgeous baby girl and her mom last week.  The bond between them was so sweet and made for some portraits that make me teary-eyed!  A was such a happy girl.  She loved crawling and playing and was a natural in front of the camera.  We had an adorable Minnie Mouse cake smash to match the fabulous outfit mom had gotten for A.  From the tip of her hat to the bows on her bottom as she crawled away, A was the perfect first birthday princess!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Wow!  Baby C is so completely gorgeous, it is hard to choose favorites!  She was so fun and sweet to photograph and I loved visiting with her family again.  They visited us just 6 months ago for newborn portraits.  I can’t believe how fast she’s grown!  6 months is my absolute favorite age to photograph.  The giggles, the smiles, the baby chub!  I love it!  Enjoy your preview G family, and your beautiful baby girl.  It was a pleasure as always :0)
