Little Warrior!

What a special day having Ari back to The Studio for her Birthday Photos! This little beauty has come such a long way in her short little life (and so have her parents)!

Ari’s mom came to me looking for a photographer to take Newborn photos of her baby girl who I believe was already close to 3 months old. Alot of photographers won’t shoot a Newborn after they reach 2 weeks old. And there is nothing wrong with that. It isn’t personal. They just may not feel like they will be able to get those beautiful sleepy, cuddly, newborn shots after that small window.

I said YES for the Birthday Girl!

You see, Ari spent the first couple of months in the hospital because she was born early. Regardless, I will never turn down a newborn because of their age. I know that I can get at least some of those shots. I will set realistic expectations and then if it goes great, even better! You can see more of Ari’s newborn session here.

Ari’s mom had a Little Mermaid theme in mind for her Birthday Photos. And while I don’t normally do themed cake smashes (I like to keep it simple), I couldn’t say no! I mean…The Little Mermaid’s name is ARIEL!! ARI – ARIEL…get it?? It took me a minute but then I put it together LOL. So that’s what we did! But I include parent poses and birthday portraits in addition to the cake portion so we actually got alot of variety of this little peanut! And Ari’s parents got the most BEAUTIFUL velvet album to display them in. Something they will be able to look through with Ari for years and eventually be able to hand down to her. I am a SUCKER for beautiful albums!!

Here are some of the images we captured of Baby Ari with those big beautiful eyes <3

Let’s talk about First Birthday Portraits!

First birthday. You’re baby is turning ONE and THAT is something to CELEBRATE! Cake smash sessions are custom curated to your personal taste. We prefer simple setups to keep the focus on your baby with the utilization of high quality balloon garlands which you will help choose! We take time to capture family and child portraits before we GET DIRTY!

What a year, am I right? A complete whirlwind! For me, the first year included some really big changes, difficult adjustments, and even a trip to the ER! I really felt like that while there were lots of really awesome experiences as a new parent, I spent most of it holding my breath! The worry the stress the balancing. It was around that one year mark that I felt I could exhale (at least a little bit, LOL).

Because you don’t get an instruction manual.

And now here you are.

Maybe your baby just turned one.

Maybe your baby’s first birthday is somewhere on the horizon.

Maybe you’re planning a First Birthday party to celebrate the joy that this little child has brought to your life.

Whatever stage you are in, First Birthday Photos are a wonderful gift, not only for your baby, but for yourself!

That’s why when we schedule a First Birthday shoot, I make sure to get some photos of the whole family! These images will last for years to come and your baby will want to see YOU in the photos too!
