Cake smash details – who knew they were so important?? I was looking through my blog offerings on what I’ve posted about cake smashes…and realizing that, although I feel like I do one every week, that’s not represented in what I’ve published. So I’m on this big push now to put out all the cake […]
Cake smashes are a big part of my business – obviously. I just came off of a weekend of three cake smashes and *every* cake smash is different. That’s what I love about them. Sometimes photographing the same thing could get a little boring (ie headshots, for example – yep, dabbled in that for a […]
Why is it that just when you feel like things are under control and you can take a breath, everything falls crazy again and you’re scrambling to catch back up!?! I feel like I had my entire life in order about a month ago – blogs pre-written, editing queue *manageable*, everyone alive and semi-happy – […]
When one works with little ones, the way I do, one learns that things aren’t always going to go as planned. When I’m scheduling a cake smash, I know enough about the littles to bargain that an evening session is probably too late for cake. I take this into consideration when offering session times because […]
I love these people. I have photographed this family almost from it’s inception – from Liz and Brandon’s maternity session while pregnant with Renley, to Renley’s newborn photos and her cake smash session, then to welcome their second daughter, Ava, with her newborn photos and now her one year session. Not only do I adore […]
My cake smash sessions, while many, appear to be few because I haven’t blogged as many of them as I’ve photographed. So today I’m working to remedy that because I want moms and dads to see how cute they are and start dreaming of scheduling one for their little prince or princess. Cake smash sessions […]
I was feeling SO proud of myself. Back in February, I looked at my list of sessions to blog and I freaked out a little. There were more than just a few (I’m being nice to myself – there were about 30 sessions on the list) and I had just kind of buried my head […]
One of the things I love the most about cake smashes is that the baby is typically a captive audience. By that, I mean that the situation is brand new, the people (namely me) are brand new, the location is usually brand new and the one-year-old typically spends the session wide-eyed, looking around, wondering what’s […]
I have to bust out a major spoiler alert: Lilly’s was the cake smash of my dreams. I don’t even know where to start with how precious this session was. From the baby rolls to the flapper-like costume to the pearls all the way down to the pink tutu and that gorgeous cake. There is […]
I’m so behind on my blogs. If you clicked on the cake smash portion of my website right now, at this very moment as I’m typing this post in February, 2021, there would only be a handful of cake smash blogs. Not because I don’t have plenty to share but because the sessions have been […]
