Family

If there is ever a question about whether or not you should do a cake smash for your child’s first birthday, the answer is a resounding yes!  But I’ll get to that soon.

First, let me show you some RIDICULOUSLY cute pictures of little one year old Bailey and her fabulous parents, Courtney and Ryan.  We met at Strawbridge Park where I first met Ryan for their engagement session about 3.5 years earlier.

It was pretty neat to be there with them as a family.

Bailey is a doll with such gorgeous eyes and always with a coordinating bow.  Always.

Did I forget to mention that Courtney was 7? 8? Months pregnant with Miles at the time and was running around with us like a total rockstar.  She is the kind of mom I aspire to be: totally positive, energetic, cool headed, and look fabulous doing it.  #jealousymuch?

So then we did a costume change into a tutu (which Courtney made).   I loved these Kate Spade glitter heels when Courtney wore them for her wedding and love them for this little princess.

Ryan is generally a pretty cool as a cucumber guy but his expressions with his little girl are priceless!

But on to the cake smash with a nautical birthday smash cake (which Courtney made).

Don’t worry about missing this family too much.  You’ll see more when I share wee Miles’ newborn pictures!

[what to wear] family sessions
Stumped, huh? How on earth do you reconcile all of those personalities into pleasing pictures? Well, it's not so hard.Sometime in the 90s it was decided that people should all wear white shirts and jeans or khakis for family pictures. Set yourself free from that idea right now! You don't want to dress all in the same exact outfit and look like the Von Trapp family or a soccer team. You're each unique individuals so wouldn't you want that to come out in your pictures? You want to go for complimentary, not mirror, looks.Here are some tips:* Take the location and season into account. That sundress may be cute as can be but it's just not g ...

I met Little Miss Mari Leona for her newborn shoot when she was 7 weeks old.  Yes, that’s a little later than usual but Sivan and Ashley had gotten them done with someone else and knew they needed a second lens on this baby stat.  Enter Lindsay!  #humblebrag Her big eyes were already brown and gorgeous.  She was super active and kicking around. She has been a great baby.  She sleeps well and Sivan has figured out the optimal gas release actions as Mari’s designated tooter. I love the name Mari for its twist on the names that belonged to both of their grandmothers: Mary and Maria.  It also works as a name for Ashley’s F ...
