Mother Daughter Cake Smash
This was definitely a UNIQUE yet AWESOME session with Heather Crabtree and her pretty girls! I loved getting to work with them for a second time now and learn their individual personalities. They all have their birthdays within a month of each other, so they wanted to share a cake smash together, which is SUCH A COOL IDEA! I love the one of all of the girls digging into mom's cake, I feel like that is probably the most realistic "mom life" photo! They celebrated their dad, Travis who passed away by bringing a photo of him and also getting him a cake with his name on it. Such a sweet way to celebrate his life with his daughters!

Titus Needs a Loving Home
TITUS is a sweetheart who needs a good loving home! He is so gentle, loving, cuddly, playful, and well mannered! I got to spend a couple hours with him yesterday driving to and from the studio and capturing some adorable shots of him. He listened so well and took the treats so gently, he loved pouncing around playing fetch and was so careful letting me take and throw the toy again! I would take him home in a heart beat after just spending a short amount of time with him, but needs to be the only dog in his home. I promise he will fill your heart with love and affection! Please help find Titus a home, he is currently at Wagglebottoms, where they have been fostering him for a while. Anyone who adopts him, will receive a FREE online gallery with all of his portraits to download and hang all around the house!

Aiden & Liam in the Studio
OH MY, Where do I start? These two boys were so stinking adorable! Aiden was only 1 month old, and was the cutest 10 pound+ newborn! His gorgeous blue eyes, kept looking right into the camera, and I could not have asked for more ( I did not even mind that he was awake the entire session! ) Liam, is going to be the best big brother to Aiden, I hope to see them back in the studio as they both grow!

First Birthday Session in the Studio with Quinn
Quinn came to see me in the photo studio for a second time, she is growing up so quick! Her mommy and daddy wanted to get some photos with the birthday girl as well, we used several of my new backdrops that I have available in the photo studio as well as a few different outfits for her! She was such a great little model, I loved capturing her personality and the simplicity of the family photos, with their white and navy outfits.

When booking family photos, it is best to wear neutrals in the studio so that you are the main focus and not your outfits. With my light grey walls and white bed, their shirts with the navy theme were the perfect choice!
If you are planning on a first birthday photo session, usually an hour to and hour and a half is the perfect length. You are welcome to bring a handful of outfits and a cake if you are interested. Cake smashes get a little messy, so be prepared to be handling a cake covered 1 year old! I have a collection of cake stands to choose between, as well as a number 1, 2, and 3, and so many props and blankets! Before your session I will ask you about your child, what their birthday theme is, what colors do you like and what colors do you want to avoid in their photo session. I will also show you the themed photo backdrops that I have available in the studio.
I love working with 1 year olds and capturing their unique personality at this age, if you are interested in booking a First Birthday Photo Session, feel free to contact me below!
1 Year Photos With Hadley SNEAK PEEK
Hadley and Charlotte were the sweetest little blue eyed blonde sisters to work with! We captured Hadley’s 1 year photos in the studio along with some photos of her and her big sister Charlotte. While Hadley was getting changed, Charlotte helped take photos of her dollies on my props and it was adorable. Happy 1 year to little Hadley, thanks for visiting me in the studio!

Her mom had mentioned that she looked so much like her in her little pink dress, so I asked if she would send me a photo so that I could share it next to her daughter. How cute is this?
Maggie - 9 Month Milestone
Maggie came in for her 9 month photos, and I fell in love with her dark hair and gorgeous eyes! She was cracking me up with all of her adorable facial expressions. I can not wait to work with her again for her 1st Birthday party and watch her dig into her cake! We even snuck a few Easter Photos into her session, she was the perfect little model!

UPGRADE to the Studio! YAY!
I am so excited to show you this past weekend’s project! I say “weekend project” but I spent about a week painting all of the wood, it felt like it was never ending. We spent about 7 hours in the studio on Saturday and about 8 on Sunday finishing up the shelving and organizing all of my props. This turned out 10x better than I ever expected, I could not stop smiling! If you have been in my studio previously, you are not gonna believe the difference it made, it is so much more spacious and open, and now all of my clients can see the props available during sessions.

If you are interested in what all we bought to make it and about how much it cost for you DIYers, scroll down to see more info!
If you are building a studio and want to see what to expect and what all we used to build this, here is all the info. All supplies were bought at Lowe’s.
Materials:
3 - sheets of 3/4 inch oak plywood Cabinet grade
200+ - Nails
20+ - Screws
Lowes Paint (Look in the mis-tint section to save $)
The wall that the shelf was built into had metal studs, so the screws you use may not need to be the same as what we used. The total cost was about $340, depending on the type of paint you use and if you have any wood at home like we did. I 100% recommend building your own shelf or having someone who knows what they are doing, build one for you. I had Cory (my significant other) to help build it, but it is so sturdy, he was hanging on it and it did not budge. It is super safe for having kids and clients in and out of the studio, I am so happy with it. Totally worth the money and time!
Here are a few behind the scenes shots from my phone that I captured along the way, for those who are visual learners like I am!
