Mr. Charles the IV showed off his amazing smile and cake destroying skills! He loves airplanes, Donald Duck, and vanilla cake. 😉
No detail was left undone for his adorable Donald Duck outfit made by his grandmother. Thank you, B Family, for choosing me to capture Charlie’s first birthday!

Little Edwin is up on the blog again!! I had to the pleasure of meeting his family a few months ago for their own family photos in addition to E’s 3 month photos. He has changed so much in just a few short months! When I first met him, he looked like a mini me of his daddy! Now I’m starting to see more and more of Nicholette in him. Our theme for this session was based around the mustache and “Little Man is Turning One”. I based the balloons, backdrops, banner, cake, and cake topper based on a party invitation and a picture of the smash cake outfit that E’s mom shared with me a few weeks ahead of time. When I saw the outfit, my first thought was, “Gosh, I hope he’s got the thighs for that diaper cover!” and boy did he! Although our original plans for an outdoor smash cake session got changed because of the unusually freezing cold weather, I think we did pretty good on our indoor backup plan! Little E killed his smash cake session. He’s one of the few babies that would have eaten the whole thing if we had let him. Something about baby boys, they love to dig right into a beautiful cake and make a mess. My experience with the girls are completely opposite! Enjoy some of my favorites from this session. Especially the last three, which were all taken within a few seconds of each other. I just love that little guy’s head tilt! He’s such a charmer. Watch out girls! 😉
If you are interested in a smash cake session, please e-mail me at [email protected] . See some behind the scenes on my Instagram and sneak peeks on my Facebook page.
What an amazing smash cake session! I had such a great time with Cam. His Aunt Meghan is one of my long time friends from college. She recently moved back to Orlando and I think she’s here to stay! (Especially since her brother, his wife, and their two boys are close by!) So… Happy Birthday, Cameron! Here are some images from his session. He’s such a ham! I’m really lovin’ the black and whites. It’s got such a comedic and old school vibe. I’m thinking Three Stooges/ I Love Lucy – classy and funny!
The seersucker diaper cover, bow tie, and hat came off Etsy. My heart melted when I saw a picture of the outfit. I’m such a sucker for seersucker anything! If you plan on ordering a birthday outfit from Etsy, plan early! Several items you will find are handmade and take a few days to weeks to create and ship to you. If you are in a bind, search for items that are RTS (Ready to Ship). Always message the seller to see if they can have them item to you in time or if there’s an option to add on USPS Priority Mail Shipping. You would be suprised at how accomodating Etsy sellers are! Well, there was my tip of the day! Thanks for reading my blog. I’ll be back blogging more this week. Especially since my last client said she found me through my blog! If you are interested in more information regarding first birthday portraits and smash cake sessions, please send me an e-mail at [email protected] . 🙂
Early morning blogging! Just a warning- this might be too much cuteness all at once. First birthdays are one of my favorite sessions. It’s been so much fun watching her grow and change over the past year. It’s been even more fun having Courtney as a friend to exchange advise & laugh with! It’s obvious that this girl is so special to so many people. My favorite phrase from the session, “Anything for my great granddaughter!”. Nothing like a special celebration to bring all your family & friends together. Thanks to all the family members for looking so fabulous for an early morning session. 🙂

Hello world! This is my first blog entry ever! What better way to start off the blog, then by sharing Little Logan’s First Birthday. There is something so special about a child’s first birthday. They change so much in the first year. The newborn face that you fell in love with has changed into a little boy or girl. You look back over the past year and remember all the tiny diapers you changed, the nights you feel asleep rocking your sweet baby, the adventures of baby food, their first smile, the first time they recognized you in a group of people. A child’s first birthday will always hold a special place in your heart. It’s during that first year you truly understand the unconditional love and bond between a parent and a child. You have also manged to survive the first year and who wouldn’t want to celebrate! So cheers to Lonnie & Lorena! They have raised a beautiful little girl and have a fun journey ahead of them!
