Maddy

Maddy

I decided to take a little break from editing sessions to edit some images of my girls. Maddy was the first one I decided to edit. She's my little princess, she's sassy, gorgeous, and everything a girly girl is made of. Glitter, unicorns, and mermaids. She loves to model for me and I would be lying if I said I didn't adore that about her. She loves July 4th and was so excited about this backdrop.

Maizley

Maizley

I believe I have met my match. I thought it was impossible for any child to be more animated and have more personality than my older daughters. That was 100% incorrect lol. Maizley is that times 1000. She is wild and beautiful, crazy and adorable. She is the sweetest little thing but also so so sour lol. She's the child that reminds me I really do not want any more children lol. But I wouldn't have her any other way. Plus look at that ginger hair

Reagan

Sweet beautiful Reagan was a wonderful little model. She just went with the flow and she loved almost every minute of it. From the portrait part of her session to the cake and even the tub she had such a blast. My studio was filled with lots of giggles and silly faces. This beautiful girl has 3 wild brothers and from how laid back she was you would never know. I think this “sweet peach” set up was perfect for her in so many way, but most importantly look how beautiful she looks in this color pallet. Happy soon to be 1st birthday Reagon.

Sweet Peach

What a beautiful smash this turned out to be. I loved designing this so much. It gives me a fresh, bright, summer vibe.

Brielle

I’m so excited to share this super patriotic one year cake smash session. Brielle wasn’t really a fan of the cake or the tub but she did a awesome job with her before cake pictures. I realize this sweet girl already turned 1 on the 4th of july but Happy Birthday to her anyway.

Independence Day <3

It’s never too late to celebrate an Independence birthday with a cake smash!! I love how this one came together. It’s so classic and patriotic.

Maggie

I can’t believe this sweet funny girl is 3! I photographed her for the first time for her 1 year cake smash. She has changed and grown up so much since then. She is sassy, and silly, and full of spunk. I’m so glad I could create something to document her 3rd birthday. Happy Birthday beautiful girl.

Children

Just like Wildflowers;

You must allow yourself to grow

in alI the places people thought you never would!

I always have so many cake smashes on my schedule but what parents sometimes forget is the birthdays after that. I’m a firm believer that a child is at their best when they are able to feel free. Nothing is more beautiful than capturing a moment filled with 100% joy. Allow Mary Purdy Photography to document that for you. A child thats smiling and laughing, running and playing is a happy child and the perfect recipe for an amazing photo gallery.

Amelia

I don’t even know where to begin with this one. It seems like just yesterday Amelia’s mama contacted me about her cake smash session. I can not believe this little firecracker will be TWO!! This little rainbow girl is wild, and adventures, beautiful, and funny. I had so much fun with this little adorable girl and her parents. I couldn’t wait to edit and share her gallery. Happy Birthday Amelia, stay wild and crazy, you are perfect just the way you are.

Nala

I can’t believe this little beauty is 2 years old. When I photographed her for the very first time she was just a little sweet, brand new baby. With the sweetest little cry, and the most chubbiest little adorable cheeks. Now she’s so grown and time has just flew by. Happy Birthday Nala. I hope your day was at wonderful as you.

Emmett

What a handsome, smart, goofy little guy. Emmett did fantastic during his smash session. I could not have asked for a better smasher for my first session back due to Covid19. He was full of smiles and so much personality. He was not a huge fan of the cake however he still managed to make a little mess. I’m so glad I was able to design this set up. Its probably one of my favorite boy set ups so far. Happy Birthday Emmett, I hope you and your family stay well and happy.

Back at it!!

It’s been almost 4 very long months since I was able to shoot a cake smash session. To be honest I was unsure at how it would go. The emotions I was feeling were very mixed. I had missed my business and all the exciting things that came with it. But I was enjoying my children and spending all my time with them. I felt a little rusty artistically at first when I was creating this set up, but after a short period of time things just came to me like they always have. I made a lot of adjustments to my process due to COVID19 and I must say I’m loving the way things are going. I’m booking up fast which is remarkable considering the circumstances. I’m so excited to create more sessions and get back to what I love.

This set up reminds me of some of my most favorite things, and it was such an great theme to announce my reopening. Many of you have asked about mini sessions and at this time I am not establishing any mini events due to COVID19 guidelines. However shorter session time options, have been added to booking, via my website. Please message me or email me at mpurdy5387@yahoo.com for booking information. I hope to see some new and old faces in the near future <3

Raphael

Wow this was fun set up. I’m so shocked that after all the years I have been in business I have never booked a Carnival Cake smash session. It was a blast designing and this little guy was full of personality. Happy Birthday Raphael.

Carnival

Maizley

Maizley girl is turning into such a sass machine. The amount of sass this girl has is crazy! Mary Purdy Photography is Happily embracing Spring!!

Marlee

I don’t even know where to start. I mean seriously could she be anymore perfect? This girl is everything I wish I could be. She is beautiful to her core, both inside and out. She is bubbly and goofy, full of sunshine and everything wonderful. She has a presence that is unforgettable and there is nothing this girl can not do. She is smart and dedicated. Driven and determined. My hope for her is that she will be what ever she wants to be. That dream has changed from a race car driver, to a Rockstar, to now wanting to attend a top cheerleading college. This girl can do all those things and more. There is no limit to where or what she can become. Happy 9th birthday to my beautiful girl. You got this girl!! 😍🌻☀️

Colton

It was so fun designing this super cool cake smash for Colton. His Mama is an amazing photographer and its such a honor she booked my services for his 1 year milestone session. I’m not always a fan of character themes but I enjoy this adorable classic so much. Happy Birthday Colton.

Hallam

I was so honored to photograph this sweet family. These two boys were so fun to work with.

Molly

What a beautiful little Lady Molly is. She is the perfect example of what a little girl should be. The colors her mama requested for her setup, compliment her wonderfully. I really adore simple set ups as well. They really showcase the child and their wonderful milestone. Happy 1st Birthday Molly

Hoyas/Call Girls

I’m so glad I was able to photograph these beautiful sisters. They did such a wonderful job and their gallery is filled with gorgeous images.
