2023: get outside!

Some of my favorite sessions each year are when we can ditch the studio and head outside. Whether it’s springtime in the park, summer at the beach, or fall under the crisp colorful leaves, outdoor sessions always have that ‘wow’ factor that I love!

The Sweetest News This Year | Cake Smash Photography

Anthony is back, and he’s one year old! Anthony is a sweet, curious, silly little boy and I have such a fun time with him and his mama. He loved to ‘bang bang’ on his cake, and sing along to his favorite songs at the studio. Happy birthday, Anthony!

Have Your Cake... | Cake Smash Portaits

Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of 2020, one thing is still true… babies + cake = adorable.

I love the tradition of letting baby smash their very own cake during a First Birthday portrait session. Some babies love the cake, some hate it, but either way, it’s 100% adorable.

Here are some of my favorite First Birthday session memories of 2020. And a big thanks to Melanie at Sweet Stuff Bake Shop (Norton, MA) for creating the amazing smash cakes.

Happiest Birthday | Boston Baby Photographer

I had the most fun morning with these two sweet faces. We giggled, tickled, sung songs, and had such a fun time. The best part was when big sister decided to help her brother with his cake. And what followed was pure magic. Happy Birthday, handsome boy!



Somebunny is One! | Boston Children's Photographer

This girl… so sweet and fun and silly and beautiful! Her big sisters were all so excited to celebrate Adaline’s first birthday, and she did not disappoint. So many adorable baby smiles, and she sure loved here cake, too! Happy Birthday, baby girl.



The Big One | Boston First Birthday Photographer

Sweet Cooper was back to celebrate his first birthday! He brought along his beautiful big sister and some super cute baby smiles. We giggled, sang songs, and watched Cooper shyly play with his very own birthday cake. Happy Birthday, sweet boy!



Doll Face | Providence First Birthday Photographer

Meet Ivy. She’s sweet and shy, calm and cuddly, and oh so beautiful. She has eyes that just catch the light beautifully, and was such a joy to photograph. I love all of the vintage inspired outfits that we used for her session, too. Happy birthday, darling girl.



Winter Wonderland | Attleboro First Birthday Photographer

Sweet Stella is a fun as she is beautiful. She brought along her perfect scrunchy-nosed smile and lots of giggles to her birthday session. And don’t you just love the winter wonderland set that we created for her? It’s definitely a new favorite of mine. Happy 1st birthday, pretty girl.



A Sweet Year | Providence First Birthday Photographer

It’s hard to believe how much this handsome little guy has grown in just twelve short months. He’s happy and sweet and easy to please, and we all just loved watching him devour his birthday cake. Happy Birthday!

Tiny Girl, Big Heart | Providence Baby Photographer

Meet Charlotte. She loves mama, cuddles, and music. I love her perfectly soft and smooth baby skin, and sweet expressive eyes. I’m looking forward to watching this sweet girl grow and change through her first year.



Luke's First Rodeo | Boston First Birthday Photographer

Another of my little baby planners has graduated! What a fun time we had celebrating his first birthday. He just kills me with those big cheeks and deep thoughtful eyes, but when he got a taste of that cake… he was all smiles. Happy Birthday, little cowboy.



A Sweet Year | Providence Baby Photographer

I can hardly believe it's been a year since I first met this gorgeous girl. Mom and dad have a special watermelon themed party planned to celebrate her first year, so went with sweet pinks for her birthday portraits.

It fills my heart to be part of such a special time for families. This perfect boy has brought nothing buy joy and love to his family, and I loved watching mom and dad swoon over their new little love. Welcome, sweet boy.

It was such a joy to spend the morning with this adorable birthday girl and her mama. She has the sweetest little giggle and gorgeous baby skin. I also love the simple, organic look that mom chose for her cake smash. Happy Birthday, darling.

 

Baby Plan Graduate | Providence First Birthday Photographer

It's been such a great year, getting to know sweet Lillia and her family. She's sweet and gentle and oh so beautiful, and I can't believe her first year has already come and gone. Happy Birthday, darling.

 

A New Best Friend | Providence Newborn Photographer

I've had the pleasure of photographing this family many times of the past two years, since their first sweet boy was just a babe, and they've added a new bundle of blue to the party. He's just as adorable as his brother, and I look forward to another years of firsts.

 

Three's Company | Providence First Birthday Photographer

It was so fun celebrating this sweet boy's first birthday. His big brothers are just the best, and we had a great year watching them all change and grow. Aren't they just the cutest...?!

Twice the Fun | Providence Baby Photographer

You  may recognize these sweet faces from their sitter session just a few months ago... but they're back, and now, they're one!  I had the best time with these adorable boys and their parents, and just love those big brown eyes and soft baby skin.
