New look!

It's been a really busy couple weeks for me, between all the reschedules I had due to the ice and snow. My regular mama schedule and Cheer competitions starting. I have been working on this beautiful newborn gallery off and on for about two weeks now. I can not wait to finish in a couple days. I went a little out of my element with this set up. Trying to make myself use colors I would otherwise not use. I always gravitate towards super bright set ups with bright colors. I am so glad I decided to challenge myself. I am in love with how these turned out. I had to share. I also know my friend Lindsay Vartanian is probably hoping to get a sneak peek of her handsome little man, haha. Love you girl!! So here he is, handsome little Blake all snuggled in with his teddy.

Molly

I first photographed Molly for her 1st birthday cake smash session. When her mama contacted me to do her 2nd birthday I was so excited. They picked on of my “Let there be cake” set ups. Gosh did it turn out beautiful. Molly was the perfect model for this set up. Her blond hair and the colors I chose to add gave me a “Alice in Wonderland” vibe. I’m really enjoying two year cake smashes so much. Happy Two years Molly.

Owen

This backdrop is so lovely. This was one of the “Let there be cake” set ups. I am over the moon excited about how amazing this looks. Owen was the absolute perfect little model for this set up. He wasn’t really a huge fan of my camera or his cake but I was still able to get so many perfect images of him. With the help of his mothers of course. Happy 1 year little Owen! Enjoy his gallery.

Corinne

Another “Let there be cake” set up. Corinne is such a beautiful little girl. This set up was made for her. All the colors are so clean, bright, and beautiful. She was seriously such a good little smasher and loved her cake. Several times she wanted to stop eating but she wouldn’t haha. I haven’t had a smasher love their cake this much in a while. Happy two years Beautiful girl.

When life gives you lemons, have cake!!

This is another one of the set ups form my “Let there be cake” promotion. I LOVE it soo much!! So fresh and clean! Maybe spring is closer then we think?

Lilly

Recently I have be blessed with lots of Two year cake smashes. I can probably thank COVID for that. I really believe that it's never too late to enjoy cake. Two year cake smashes are so fun. If you missed having your little ones One year cake smash due to COVID. Why not celebrate at two? Beautiful Lilly was such a blast. Just look how adorably fun these images are.

Pastel Palette Balloon Wall

The first of my “Let there be cake” set ups to be edited! I love the colors and love the fact that I was able to photograph a super smart, silly, two year old for this set up!

Ventus

This was the very first time I have met Ventus and his family. He wasn’t in the best mood when he arrived but he slowly started to open up and became so much more comfortable. He is such a sweet handsome little guy and I hope I get to photograph him in the near future.

Gavin

I have been photographing Gavin since he was just a little baby. I’m so glad I was able to see him for his Valentine’s session. Gavin is such a fun happy kid and has such a huge personality. I can’t wait to continue to photograph him maybe we have a ghostbusters session in our future?

Lewa

I first met beautiful Lewa when she was just a little baby, not even a year old. I was lucky enough to see her back again this year for her Valentine’s pictures. These pictures turned out so perfect. Lets not forget to mention how stunning this blue dress looks. Her mama picked it out, right form my client closet.

Tallon

I met these three adorable kids last week for their Valentine’s session. They did such a great job. Hopefully I can see them back soon. I hope you enjoy your gallery Tallon Family.

Roman

I met this sweet handsome guy and his wonderful mama about a year ago. I was lucky enough to photograph his 2nd birthday session this year. When hi mama contacted me with what she wanted I was so excited to put it together for her. I love how this turned out. Happy 2nd Birthday Roman

Love is in the air

I LOVE the way this styled set turned out! The colors are just beautiful. So bright but so crisp! I was a little worried I wouldn’t like this backdrop but I really love it. These sessions start Tuesday!! I hope the snow doesn’t delay them, because I’m very excited!!

Maizley is TWO!!

We have had such a fun weekend celebrating our girl. That I didn’t have time to blog about her special day. 2 Years ago we were unexpectedly preparing for a two week early induction of our 3rd girl. Marlee and Maddy were both two weeks late lol. Maizley Rae has been rocking our world ever since lol. Happy 2nd birthday to our girl!! Our shinning star. She is bright, beautiful, and full of life. She is wild, with more sass then both her older sisters combine. She is exactly what our family needed, she completed us in every way. She is so strong willed and will never go unnoticed. Strong and beautiful, what else could a mama ask for. She is sour pretty often but we love her to pieces anyway. I know its not the norm to do 2 year cake smashes but there's literally nothing in this word that this girl loves more then food. She had a blast, and that's what matters. Lets not forget about how unbelievably beautiful she looks in this color pallet. Happy birthday you wild, crazy gorgeous girl. We can't wait to celebrate you this weekend. We love you to the stars and back “Crazy Maizy”.

Don't forget about the tub

I love this tub prop so much. My middle daughter Madelyn is modeling is in the image below. She was 6 years old when this image was done. Although she's petit for her age, she's still much bigger then a 1 year old. It just shows you how large and beautiful this tub is. When you book a cake smash with me, you also get tub clean up shots at the end. Babies love this part so much. It also makes for amazing images.

Tricycle

I was searching for a larger vintage tricycle for about 9 months. Something that was vintage and showed age but was not falling apart. My vision was to use it for Easter sessions. Although it can be used for so much more. I was not a fan of the color, which I believe was not the original color anyway. The wheels had a lot of over spray, and the color looked too new for something that was made in the 1920’s. Any way, my husband went to pick it up and as soon as he got it home I cleaned it up. I decided a beautiful seagrass paint color would do it so much more justice. So I took my time, two days total. I got everything tapped off as perfect as it could get. It took me two days to paint it. I did many very light coats. After removing the tape and softly removing some over spray spots from the wheels. This beauty is almost done. I plan to attach a basket like the 3rd picture. Maybe I’ll fill it with flowers, maybe I’ll photoshop little bunnies or chicks in it? The possibilities are endless. Needless to say it looks so fresh, clean, and almost new.

A new year a new look

It’s been a little while since I blogged. I have been so busy behind the scenes. Brainstorming amazing ideas, hoping to take my photography to the next level. I want to provide my clients with beautiful memories, they will cherish and love for a life time. I am always learning, and I am always looking for ways to up the game for myself and my clients. I want to stand apart from the rest. I want to have my own look, style, and feel. I want people to look at my work and know exactly who captured those images. This has actually happened more and more lately and I love it so much.

I’m patiently waiting on my Valentines items to be delivered. I have something beautifully epic planned for that. I also have a gorgeous session planned for my youngest daughter. My littlest girl turns two in just 2 short weeks. Where has time gone?

Easter will be here before we know it and boy do I have huge things in the works for that. I’m excited to see what 2021 will bring. I am hoping this will be my year. I have some other potentially huge opportunities in the works also. That I hope will get me out there even more. Nothing will happen unless you dream.

Martin

This family was one of my very first clients when I decided to start my photography business. I look forward to seeing them. This year I got to meet their beautiful nieces as well. These images turned out so beautiful. The color pallet is amazing. They came dressed so well, as usual. I could not help myself and had to make three collages. There was just so many beautiful moments I wanted to share. I hope you have a very Happy Holiday Martin family and wonderful New Year.
