Post category:1 year old session milestone session

I have been enjoying photographing Jason since he was 6 months old and he is about to turn 1 this weekend! I love watching kids grown up through my lens and document their milestone. As he is turning 1, mom requested " cake smash session" which is the option for my baby collection package for part of 1 year old portrait session. Mom told me that Jason likes Sesame Street so I arranged the cake with Elmo theme with pop and bright color from A Sweet Affair Bakery . I had so much fun watching Jason eating and playing with cake! Happy 1st Birthday, Jason and I hope you have a wonderful 1st Birthday Party!! Yay, Cake!! What a handsome boy! Eating, playing, eating, playing... And he is done ;-)

Kaira, she won my little star session at Little Sweetheart Valentine's Day event last month and it was such a perfect timing because she was turning 3 in April so we did her 3 years old portraits right away! When her mom told me what she was going to wear for a session, I started looking something pink and flower to match her outfit. And look what I found! This gorgeous cherry blossom tree ;-) Everything was just perfect, beautiful soft light, warm weather, and this pink parasol I brought back from New Orleans completed the look I was looking for. She looked so pretty in her pink dress and her princess shoes. ( that's what she called her shoes! ) She has the cutest smile, too! Mom and Dad came over to my home studio a few days ago to view the photos and they ordered gallery wrap canvases to display over their fireplace. I can't wait to deliver them final products because my canvases are the best ! Thank you, Mom and Dad! It was so much fun photographing your family!

Last week, I met Serena for her 3 years old milestone session at one of my favorite park in Concord. I photographed her last year for her 2 years old portrait and I was excited to photograph her again! She had this cutest outfit and the little crown was just perfect since she wanted me to call her " princess" through out the session ;-) We did lots of princess game, we pretend to go find a castle, prince, etc.... it was lots of fun! She is a beautiful girl just like her mom! Thank you for letting me photograph her precious time of the life, enjoy the photos!
