And thou shalt in thy daughter see, This picture, once, resembled thee. ~Ambrose Philips
We had a lot of fun at this shoot but this was also a challenging shoot because mom really wanted a sibling shot but our sibling was a curious spirit and wanted to explore everything except her baby sister. In the end, we managed to get a few really cute shots after older sister tired herself out but she made us all work hard! 🙂 Lady J was the champion of sleep and pretty much slept through her whole shoot – she was a real sweetheart.
A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope and promise of the future.
I love shooting newborns and meeting new parents for the first time. That moment we first met, I can see love all over their faces, anxiousness as they just stepped into a realm of new parenthood territory and those first moments of excitement at welcoming a new mini me into the world. Lady A was the sweetest baby girl ever! She gave me lots of beautiful smiles, slept sweetly after getting snuggled and looked like a perfect mini mommy & daddy! We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful session.

Cake smashes are so fun to shoot. When a return client asked me to do her daughters one year old cake smash, of course I said yes! It was also wonderful to see how big Lady S has gotten. This is another reason why I love what I do – seeing the babies grow up is oh so sweet~
Momma requested that the cake smash have a pink color theme and that’s what we planned for. We found the sweetest asymmetrical pink tutu dress on Zulily which was converted into a bubble dress. The beautiful cake was designed by Sweet Grace, Cake Designs. And the cake stand also came from Zulily. I opted not to add in any tiaras, background poofs, balloons to keep the focus on Lady S and we loved how the images turned out. Doesn’t Lady S look super adorable? She loved playing with the princess crown on the cake during the session.
A perk to shooting cake smashes is it smells divine afterwards and everyone gets to eat some yummy cake! Happy 1st Birthday Lady S!

I am easing off of maternity leave with a 15 minute mini session of Lady A for her one hundred day old photo shoot. I missed squishing cute babies so much and Lady A was full of smiles for mommy. While processing photos from the shoot, I’m beginning to fall in love with the whole vintage look for photographed babies – may begin to incorporate some more of that look into my processing style! Enjoy precious Lady A’s images here and have a lovely Easter!
