Best.  Baby.  Ever.  Seriously, this little guy rocked his session in record time.  He just sat and smiled at me.  He has 2 darling big sisters at home, so I think he fully enjoyed his time in the spotlight during a session just for him.  We kept things classic with a few fun props to mix it up.  I loved the tie and fedora mom brought along, but L looked just as adorable in anything we put him in!  L, come back and play anytime!

If you’ve been following along with us for the past year, you’ve heard me rave about our new video portraits after having them done for my own family.  I want everyone I know to do this for their family!  It is laid back, fun, and the resulting video will take your breath away.  I was so excited when the W family decided to add on our video portraits to their cake smash session.  I first met them back when I was pregnant with Grace and mom was expecting S.  Then, I got to cuddle adorable baby S as a newborn when I was in my last trimester.  I was thrilled to be celebrating S’s first birthday last week and even more excited to capture the milestone for their family through both pictures and the videography.  A cake smash is so much fun on video because it is so full of action!  S dug right into her cake and was soon laughing and clapping at her first taste.  Thank you so much for such a fun afternoon W family, and enjoy your sneak peek.  We’ll be adding in the video sneak preview later this week, so check back for it!

And here is a sneak peek of S’s Video!

We love these Little Star sessions! Little J was the best model- she gave us the cutest smiles in every set and every outfit we put her in. How can you not smile yourself when looking at these? I hardly have a serious face in her entire gallery!

Such a happy girl! And a stylish one…her football outfit was custom-made for her. Can you even stand the little football leggings? Her Christmas dress and headband are also just too cute.

I loved this little birthday girl and her gorgeous family!  S was so full of personality.  She loved crawling around the studio and was so proud of her new standing skills.  Mom and dad were up for anything and chatting with them made our shoot fly by.  We started our session with some sweet family portraits that I know they will love having with baby S while she’s still their little baby.  Then S stole the show!  From our simple classics in all white to our colorful cakesmash, this is going to be one huge gallery.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Gorgeous baby A came to visit the studio this week and her session was one of my favorite 3 month old sessions to date!  She was A: Gorgeous, B: So happy, and C: Incredibly adored by her parents.  We focused the session on capturing their family bond and of course had to snap a few of just A herself.  As you can see, she’s the steals the show!

This little boy was a dream to photograph.  He went from being kind-of sleepy to SUPER sleepy and never woke up once!  He let us pose away and the images of him on our blue chair are some of my absolute favorite.  Mom loved the our chair shots on the antique pink chair but I was thinking it might look too “girly”.  So she said “what about that chair in your front hall?”  It was perfect!  Thanks for the inspiration mom.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

I had such a good time photographing this family last week.  Baby K’s session was perfect from beginning to end.  She was such a gorgeous, joyful little girl.  She was the perfect cake smasher as well.  She didn’t really eat the cake.  She just played with it and smiled away for the camera!  Enjoy your preview!

I was so excited to hear the good news that these twins were born.  I had the pleasure of meeting mom and dad for a maternity session a few months back and I’ve been counting the days ever since!  E and O did not disappoint.  They were so adorable and I loved capturing their bond with each other.  We also were able to take our first twin hanging shot (with a whole lot of takes!).  Great seeing you again mom and dad, enjoy your preview!

Do I have the most adorable clients or what?!  I knew the second H showed up to our studio and gave me a giant smile through those big blue eyes that we were in for some fun.  H was so easy going that we were able to try out lots of fun sets.  Usually the larger flower bands aren’t my favorite to use, but I think in sets like these they look so stinkin cute and the two mom picked were some of my favorite!  No matter what we put H in, those big blue eyes always stole the show anyways.  I can’t wait to show mom and dad the rest of these!

Newborn baby M was so perfectly gorgeous.  She had the most beautiful skin and tiny pink lips.  Mom and dad were absolutely in love with her and it was such a joy to witness.  With 5 previews on their way today, I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking!  Enjoy your preview!
