Family Photographer CT – Cake Smash Milestone

Cake Smash Milestone

Family Photographer Connecticut

Greta was scheduled for her first birthday cake smash with big sister Aine along to help out. Hands down one of the best aspects of my job is getting to know some incredible families. I feel honored to be the photographer that Ian and Kate have chosen to photograph their children’s first milestones. I love seeing how they grow and change and catching up on all the family adventures.

So, the family arrived with another fabulous Sweet Spot cake and we got down to business. A couple of cute outfits (Kate loves Hanna Andersson so I can usually look forward to something adorable!) Aine has been working on her British accent with some Peppa Pig so we got the music playing and let the girls dance a bit while we set up for the cake. I LOVE it when the birthday star gets stuck in to the cake! Greta was delicate at first but she ended up being covered in frosting. And sprinkles. Lots of sprinkles! Aine sat in to help with some frosting so we finally got them in the same frame šŸ˜‰

Like most one year olds Greta doesn’t exactly sit still for long and this is when I love to bring out the tub. Bubbles and warm water and most babies stay still long enough for me to get some close up portraits and capture the fun of the bath tub. That’s when I get the giggle images too – can you see Greta’s tooth? How cute is that!!!!

If you are wondering when you should book a portrait session you can follow the milestone plan, schedule around a family event or reunion or just pick a time that works for your family. My summer shooting schedule is reduced to spend time with my family but contact me to schedule your family session. Believe me, time flies – I will have two in high school this year!!!

Newtown CT Photographer – Erin

Happy Birthday Erin!

Three is a wonderful age. Filled with wonder, excitement, new experiences and expanded knowledge.

Erin has the sweetest voice with those little lispy words that you never want to correct – she’ll grow out of them all too soon, but for the moment it is so fun to hear them. Some days she wants to be Elsa and other days she is a mermaid but every day she is a totally adorable little peanut. We went for a walk in the woods and looked for ducks (but didn’t find any this time) and we made a quick stop on the side of the road for a field of wild flowers. It seemed like the perfect setting and she was an absolute trooper, even though some of the flowers were almost as tall as her!!

Happy Birthday to sweet Erin!

Do you remember Erin’s newborn session? Was that really three years ago?

Birthday portraits can be in the studio, with or without other family members and we can incorporate the interests of the child to make it fun, relaxed and natural. I had a great time walking and talking with Erin and she lovedĀ taking photos every now and again too! That’s a perfect session in my book.
