Eli's Cake Smash!

  I met up with Eli and his family for his first birthday! We decided to go with a cake smash! They are returning clients (for the 3rd time) which I LOVE. I really enjoy getting to photograph the stages the little ones go through. He is SO cute and walking!
  He did really good, but wasn't so sure what to think in the end when his hands were sticky..

Picture with his cousins! 

Dominic getting in on it! 

I think this was my favorite moment out of the entire shoot, there is nothing like milk and chocolate cake!

Riley's 1st Birthday!

  It feels like yesterday that I met baby Riley and his Mom when he was just a couple months old for some baby pictures. He recently turned ONE!  I couldn't believe how big he got and of course still adorable as ever!

   Here are just a few..

Focus & more Mya!

 This week so far has been filled with work, exercise and focus. I have been reading a book that has different exercises for someone who is starting their photography business. So far it has definitely inspired me and is making me want to strive for more! Dane Sanders has a couple of books out, definitely worth checking out!
Since it has been a bit of a 'slow' time of year, there leaves a lot of time to think of where I want to be and what I want to bring to the table this year. Very exciting :)

ALSO this is what inspires me, capturing little adorable faces like this...

Mya's 1st Birthday! - sneak peek.

I was invited to join Mya and her family to celebrate her 1st birthday on Saturday! I met Mya and her family in the summer to do a family session, and since then did a few other sessions with their family members. So I was so happy when they wanted me to return to capture the moments of her special day!

Mya quickly go overwhelmed with the amount of people and needed to have a quick cat nap in the middle which was fine with me since it gave me a chance to mingle and chat with others.

I just had a chance to quickly edit a few tonight, shes soo adorable!

I LOVE her eyes!

Stay tuned for more!
