Noah's First Birthday!!

Noah turned 1 in December and I was honored to be able to capture his first birthday portraits and cake smash!

Noah’s mom booked her son’s session in October, wanting a specific theme with also booking a family session as well as a bath splash for Noah. When his mom communicated that she wanted a moon/stars theme, I looked through the backdrop companies and presented several various backdrops for her to choose. After she looked through all of the backdrops, she chose a backdrop with a crescent silver moon with galaxies and stars across the entire backdrop.

On the day of the session, I first photographed their family session using a classic neutral beige backdrop that goes with all clothing colors. Then I was able to photograph Noah’s first birthday portraits using that same backdrop, of him sitting on the floor and on a wooden white bed.

Next was his cake smash and mom provided a beautiful tall grey/blue/white buttercream cake. At first he was curious and ate a bit here and there but he was soo excited to walk across the set to be with his mom.

Lastly was time for his bath splash. Noah LOVED it!! Noah’s mom brought in his rubber ducky and he loved to splash and just loved his bath.

Emma's Newborn Photo Shoot

I was soo excited when Emma’s mother contacted me to photograph her newborn baby. Emma’s photo shoot was originally planned to be photographed at their house, with capturing her family in more of a candid setting but they came over to my studio and we had a blast.

I had such a good time photographing the entire family and parents and siblings separately. I LOVED that they are soo supportive of each other and you can see that support in their photos.

For Emma’s newborn session, the colors that were chosen were Peach and Pink. I first photographed Emma in props and my favorite prop was in the heart bowl. Then we moved onto beanbag/blanket shots and at first she was wide awake. After a full feeding, she slept like an angel and I was able to capture beautiful shots of her.

Professional Headshots

A month ago, I had the opportunity to photograph Rebecca for her professional headshot. I wanted to get a sense of her responsibilities and the look that she was going for. I loved that she chose the beige background for her headshots. It complimented with her attire and also made her images very unique.
