Daughters are angels sent from above to fill our heart with unending love. ~J. Lee
This little gal made me work but once she finally fell asleep, Lady A was indeed a little angel. I originally wanted to capture a few sibling shots but big bro hit naptime and wasn’t up for photos so dad and big bro had some father and son bonding time while I continued shooting Lady A. When I finally had a chance to shake dad’s hand, I immediately saw that Lady A had her daddy’s eyes – the same color and depth. How cool is that? They do say that daughters are a father’s lover in a past life!

Beautiful Lady A, 5 days new! Every baby I’ve shot this year turned out to be a girl and many with names that start with “A.” It’s so cute! Lady AW was a sweetheart. She slept right away for me and was up to feed in between (completely normal of course! I mean what else are you going to do at 5 days new?). But she definitely loved curling into the soft fur lining of my antique buckets. This was a special session because mom and I have known each other for 20+ years! It’s so nice to be able to do this shoot for mom because these sessions often push my limits at the end and challenge me to capture better images. And Lady A ended her session sleeping so peacefully – absolutely adorable 🙂
And thou shalt in thy daughter see, This picture, once, resembled thee. ~Ambrose Philips
We had a lot of fun at this shoot but this was also a challenging shoot because mom really wanted a sibling shot but our sibling was a curious spirit and wanted to explore everything except her baby sister. In the end, we managed to get a few really cute shots after older sister tired herself out but she made us all work hard! 🙂 Lady J was the champion of sleep and pretty much slept through her whole shoot – she was a real sweetheart.
A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope and promise of the future.
I love shooting newborns and meeting new parents for the first time. That moment we first met, I can see love all over their faces, anxiousness as they just stepped into a realm of new parenthood territory and those first moments of excitement at welcoming a new mini me into the world. Lady A was the sweetest baby girl ever! She gave me lots of beautiful smiles, slept sweetly after getting snuggled and looked like a perfect mini mommy & daddy! We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful session.
All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much. – By George Harrison
Cake smashes are so fun to shoot. When a return client asked me to do her daughters one year old cake smash, of course I said yes! It was also wonderful to see how big Lady S has gotten. This is another reason why I love what I do – seeing the babies grow up is oh so sweet~
Momma requested that the cake smash have a pink color theme and that’s what we planned for. We found the sweetest asymmetrical pink tutu dress on Zulily which was converted into a bubble dress. The beautiful cake was designed by Sweet Grace, Cake Designs. And the cake stand also came from Zulily. I opted not to add in any tiaras, background poofs, balloons to keep the focus on Lady S and we loved how the images turned out. Doesn’t Lady S look super adorable? She loved playing with the princess crown on the cake during the session.
A perk to shooting cake smashes is it smells divine afterwards and everyone gets to eat some yummy cake! Happy 1st Birthday Lady S!
