Dance recitals mean dance portraits. My daughter is in dance class and absolutely loves it. She loves being on stage and thrives on the attention. Stage fright is definitely not an issue with her. This was year two of classes and I realized the DAY BEFORE her recital that I still had not taken her official dance portraits. Slacker mom indeed. So I set up all my equipment (which was a BREEZE compared to getting her dressed), dressed my daughter, did her hair (oh the ballet bun…gah), and took her official portraits. She was thrilled. Mommy was not quite so thrilled (seeing as I’d be getting her all dressed again the NEXT DAY for her recital *cough*ballet bun*cough*), but I can blame no one but myself.

Until next year ballet bun…

It’s crazy that just one year ago my Godson was born (how blessed am I to have 3 God children? Seriously?). First we had his First Birthday party, and then a few days later I photographed his Cake Smash. Since dad is a huge Giants fan we went with a football themed cake smash, and it was super adorable. I mean, naturally Stephen was the reason it was EXTRA adorable, but the football theme was definitely cute too. 🙂 Stephen took his job as cake smasher very seriously. And eating the cake Aunt Teresa made him was just as important as making a mess. In fact, he was SUCH a mess afterwords we carried him right up to the bathtub for a little bath. 🙂

We started our session with a couple pictures of -and with- big sister.

And, of course, no cake smash would be complete without a Storyboard!

How lucky am I? Here’s another little lady I had the privilege of photographing as a newborn, and now we’re celebrating her one year birthday! I love when things come full circle. Karlie’s mom brought a sweet birthday dress and an adorable birthday hat that we incorporated in her session. We also got a super sweet image of mom and baby girl which I think it’s just gorgeous. By the time we got to the cake Karlie wasn’t sure what she thought of it. She was interested, and ate a little, but then she was over it! She may not have enjoyed eating the cake, but she sure enjoyed making a mess! 😉

I love cake smashes! It’s such a fun way to celebrate such a big milestone like turning one whole year old! Little Keira came to me ON her actual first birthday! Talk about an honor! I had the pleasure of photographing her as a newborn as well, and I love with things come full circle. Look how much she’s grown! She had a great time at her cake smash and we had a lot of fun watching her!

Time to catch up on my blog, and who better to start with than this beautiful little girl from the second session of NJ Holiday minis? She was such a doll and so easy to work with. She was a pleasure to photograph, and her eyes are just amazing.
