BABY’S FIRST BIRTHDAY CAKE

First birthday sessions are always SO. MUCH. FUN! Being able to photograph these adorable little ones wearing the most darling outfits in the simplicity of my natural light studio is amazing. But let’s be honest. It’s really all about the cake, right? Watching a baby experience cake for the first time is always a treat. Sometimes they are really unsure about it. Some babies need a little coaxing to just touch it with a finger. And sometimes they go face first into it because it’s so delicious!!! Regardless of their response, it’s always so cute and such a great milestone to capture. The anticipation of how your baby will react is half the fun.

Watching sweet Nella with her cake was the cutest thing ever. She started off slow but once she realized how much she liked it, she was going back for handful after handful. And she’s such a sweetheart that she even kept offering to share with her family! Fortunately for them, she only dug her precious hands into one small side of the beautiful cake so her family was able to take it home and enjoy some for themselves!

I’m so grateful for my wonderful neighborhood bakery Cakes Amore for baking the gorgeous and yummy cake for my special birthday babies!

WITH GRATITUDE

November is a month where I make finding things to be grateful for a daily habit. As each day marches toward Thanksgiving, I feel more and more, well… thankful. It’s one of those habits that gets easier to do the more you do it. And I’ve found that the more I make a point of finding things to be grateful for, the happier I am. It can be something as simple and catching myself being grumpy as I work on the 14th load of laundry for the week and reminding myself that my huge amount of laundry means I have a home filled with a husband, kids and dogs that I love. And just like that, the laundry feels like less of a chore and more of a privilege.

One of the things I’m feeling especially grateful for lately are my clients. The kindest, most lovely people have always had a way of finding their way into my studio and life and I’m eternally grateful for that. The trust that they put in me to document these irreplaceable moments for their family is never taken for granted. When clients open up and trust me to create art with them… that is when the true magic seems to happen.

WHAT MEANS THE MOST

If you’ve ever been to my home you know how important family photos are to me. My stairwell is one of my favorite places because it is lined with generations of family portraits. Grandparents and great-grandparents’ wedding portraits nestle between 1970’s and 80’s tinted images of my husband and I with our siblings from a JC Penney Portrait Studio. Snapshots from family vacations and little league games. Nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters and of course, my babies. I fill my walls with images of what means the most so that my children grow up with a constant reminder of how important our family is and that they are an integral part of it.

I absolutely love when new my clients invite grandparents to the studio to be a part of the session with the new baby. Sometimes they stop in for 20 minutes of the session and sometimes they stay to help the entire time but either way, they get to be in what will undoubtedly be some of the most important images for their grandchildren. It is such a special gift to give your family beautiful portraiture of the most important people in your lives. I’ll always cherish the few prints and Polaroids I have of myself with my grandparents but I’m so proud that I can give my tiniest clients these works of art.

It was such a special thing to see this beautiful family include baby Lennox’s grandparents in their session. I love that I was able to give them such gorgeous images of three generations together during this fleeting time in their lives and I had so much fun getting to know such wonderful people. As the years go on, I know these images will become more and more important to their family and will serve as a lasting reminder of what means the most to them.

THIS MOMENT

I had the loveliest couple in the studio recently. They came to me to capture some images of this moment in their lives before their first baby arrives. Alice was absolutely stunning in a sheer lace dress and lovely free people maxi. It’s sounds cliche to say that she was glowing but oh my goodness - she was!

Watching how incredibly sweet Alice and Adam are with each other it’s obvious how lucky and how loved this new baby is. It’s such an honor to get to witness and document something so special. I can’t wait to document this family as they grow through the years!

MILESTONE SESSIONS MATTER

As the iconic Ferris Bueller taught us: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. These last 6 months have flown by and suddenly this crazy cute tiny babe is now officially sitting up and on the move! One of the most amazing moments of my career happened right in the middle of me documenting this milestone and I can’t wait to share more from this amazing “6 month/Sitting Up” session!!!

I love that my intimate maternity sessions are growing in popularity and am so excited to share more images from my recent work with some of the most stunning women.

Here is a little glimpse into a session from last week…
