Little Red Wagon — 7 Month Old Outdoor Session

Babies who can sit up don’t just have to sit on blankets for photos … how cute is this 7 month old chap in his little red wagon? And the vintage crate! Look at that sweet big toe poking out the side. Peek-a-boo! I’m so excited to be booking outdoor baby sessions for the upcoming warmer months. Let’s just pretend we’re not about to get another huge snowstorm on the second day of spring.

This guy was cool and comfy in his old-timey overalls and newsboy hat. Can we talk about his eyes for a minute? They’re absolutely dreamy! I just want to tousle his little tuft of hair that comes down the middle of his sweet forehead. His pose in the last shot is priceless — the way he’s leaning in toward the wagon handle with a twinkle in his eye. I can almost feel the golden evening sunshine in the background. Come on, spring!

Look who is ONE! Paris Themed Cake Smash

Bon anniversaire (that’s French for “happy birthday,” of course) to this mademoiselle who lit up the studio for her Paris themed cake smash! This is one of my new backdrops for 2018, and I just love how it worked with both her light pink and bright blue outfits. Can a baby girl ever have too many ruffles, rosettes and bows? No way! Check out the shot of her in the distressed white chair with her arms up like she’s saying, “Hooray, I’m one!” She’s almost touching fingers with the ballerina behind her.

As always,  Kimmy of Kimmy’s Cakes did a beautiful job with the cake, which was a moist, buttery yellow one wrapped in pink fondant and decorated with an Eiffel Tower just like the backdrop. This little lady thought it was finger-lickin’ good. I love the close-up where her lips are puckered up, and her cheeks are stuffed with cake. I just want to squeeze her!

Bohemian Outdoor First Birthday Cake Smash

Spring is just around the corner, and I hope I get to do another outdoor cake smash like this Bohemian floral one! This avant-garde girl looked adorable in her lace off-the-shoulder top and loved sitting in the ivory teepee. Her loving big sister joined in on the fun in a matching outfit, and the interactions we captured between them are just priceless. We also got some individual portraits of big sis and her sweet toothless grin.

When it was time for cake — a simple funfetti one with just a crumb coat of buttercream for a shabby chic look — we brought out even more flowers, plus pompoms and confetti balloons, which received a few hugs, haha. The birthday babe changed into another darling outfit, and I think she enjoyed showing off her cake just as much as she liked eating it. What a doll baby. Happy first birthday!

Cool Winter Maternity Session

Winter maternity portraits often turn out to be more colorful than I expect. In the first picture, the swath of green behind this gorgeous mama echoes the shape of her royal blue skirt draped on the forest floor. In the closer shots, you can appreciate how her smoky eye makeup is the same tones as the trees. And those sexy red lips and nails really pop!

The afternoon sun made some of the leaves remaining on the trees glow orange, which complemented the couple’s cool-colored wardrobe nicely. The diagonal angle of the fallen tree provided extra visual interest.

I love the contrast between the barren trees and the beautiful mother bursting with life. This is especially noticeable when she’s wearing the floral crown. The quiet stillness of this collection of photos is reminiscent of the waiting during pregnancy. I wish this loving pair all the best as they prepare for their little one, who is almost sure to have a head of thick, dark hair!
