Cake Smash at Colt State Park in Bristol, RI

I had the pleasure of meeting this family almost a year ago when little Julia could hardly sit up. Thankfully she was able to sit for photos with the help of big brother and sister. Now here we are celebrating her first birthday with a cake smash portrait session!  Time sure does fly.  Instead of helping her sit up her big brother and sister were there help her balance on the uneven ground at the park.  Of course they also got in some photos as well.  Julia gave us some many smiles that it definitely made my job easy.  She is a happy, happy baby… I mean toddler!!

Caleb’s First Birthday Cake Smash Portrait Session

Still can’t believe this little dude is a year old now!! It seems like yesterday I was just shooting Mom and Dad’s wedding! Now here is this little guy. Before we know it he’ll be quoting Star Wars movies with Dad! Then when I do his senior portraits he will be making fun of Dad for quoting Star Wars. He may also complain that he has to have “that tired old photographer” take his senior pictures. Enough of that! Let’s enjoy the agreeable, smiley little baby we have here! Mom had some awesome outfits, birthday hats, and a wagon to boot. It made for a fun and easy portrait session with one of my favorite families!

Brother and Sister Birthday Portrait Session

I first met Alex when he was three months old. We did photos in this exact same location. He was a little lump in his parents’ arms. Three years later here we are again for his third birthday portraits! Now he is running around, talking, and holding my hand (melted my heart!). Yes, Alex did grow up a bit, but there is one other big change that has happened. He now has a little sister who is just turning one year old!  I say it all the time because it really is my favorite part of my job…  What an honor it is to be able to capture these photos of a family that is growing (in years and quantity).  It really is something that means a lot to me and I can’t say thank you enough.  I know mom and dad once mentioned that they’d like to have four kids!  If that still is the plan we will have to come back to this spot with the entire clan when they get here!

Let me know and I will put you in touch with this talented lady!

Baby’s First Year Portrait and Cake Smash – RI Baby Photographer

I’ve been doing photos of this little lady’s two older sisters for a while now.  I can’t believe it’s now her turn for her very own cake smash!  A year goes by so, so quick!  We planned to go with the color purple.  I was blown away when mom came in with the most amazing accessories and outfits every!  I mean a baby fascinator?!  We can thank Kayleigh’s Klippies for all the beautiful stuff our fashionable subject is wearing.  Check out her stuff on etsy or at the fabulous Bellani Maternity.  As alway the smash cake was provided by Cake-tique.  Someone must have heard the words “Cake Smash” and didn’t want to disappoint.  Within 10 seconds the cake was on the floor!  You never know what’s going to happen at these sessions!
