So I have only been doing photography for a couple years. But especially in the life of a baby (my main subjects), so much changes within that time. And I've found that although I love so many things about my job, my #1 favorite thing about what I do is being able to observe growth. Growth of babies. Growth of families. Growth of my own work. And because of this, (and my extreme good fortune), I have been lucky enough to be able to narrow down the focus of my business to just where I want it to be: baby's first year.
The four main types of sessions I offer are maternity, newborn, sitter (6-9 months), and the one-year cake smash. It is amazing to see how much changes within just that first year. When I have the honor of photographing a newborn, and then later get the pleasure of playing with them and seeing them experience the joy of cake for the first time, it makes my heart truly happy. Happy to witness the miracles of life before my eyes. Happy someone was pleased enough with my prior work that they wanted to come back to me. And cake. I'm happy for the cake that I may or may not dig into once they leave. Did I just say that?
So for today's blog, I wanted to share some images of one of my favorite little girls: Reese. We just finished up her one-year cake smash session, but I first met Reese back when she was only days new. Here she is during her newborn session, in September of 2015.
Reese came back for her sitter session in March of this year. She was right around 6 months old. I love the sitter age because they can sit up, but they can't crawl or run away from me yet. How stinking adorable is she??
And lastly, the cake smash. My cake smash sessions are completely custom, and Reese's momma wanted a purple and gold color scheme with stars. It loved it because it was original; I hadn't done it before. It took her a little while to warm up, but we got lots of fun shots in the end. But look how much she's grown! She has the same sweet face, but she's WALKING.
Happy birthday, sweet Reese. That's all for today <3
