Babies

I was so excited to see Reagan and her family for Classic Timeless One Year Old Photography Greer SC. This is my third session with Reagan this year. I got to see her as a newborn (click here to see the whole session) and at six months old (click here to see the six month session). It’s such a joy to watch Quiet Graces Babies Grow up! Here are a couple of pictures from her first two sessions!

Simple Timeless One Year Old Portraits

We started Reagan’s session with some portraits.  I love how you can see her personality in the two images below.  She just HAD to pull that bow right off her head!

Like most one year olds, Reagan had a little bit of stranger anxiety. She wasn’t quite sure of of me. But she did warm up during these portraits and even let mama Heather dart out of the room to borrow some clothing from the studio wardrobe for  herself and big sister Emery. The outfit that Reagan is wearing in this portrait set is also part of the studio wardrobe. The green silk skirted set is a studio favorite from Cora and Violet’s Shop.

Studio Sibling and Family Pictures

Once Emory and Heather were dressed we took some images of everyone together. Often mama’s shy away from being in pictures, but one of my favorite things about Heather is that she always jumps in the images. Her bravery is a beautiful example for these sweet girls and they’ll always remember how much she adored them!

Emery hammed it up for me this session! It was a joy to capture these smiles because Emery takes more time to warm up than most 8 year olds. I drew her an elephant to sit on and let her take home some of the posing paper after the session. I think that helped. These mama and daughter cuddles are my absolute favorites from this session!

Emotional Simple Studio Cake Smash

Finally, we finished the session with a cake smash! Christine of Baking Sweet Scents makes a semi-naked cake for all of my cake smash session that’s included in your session fee. Most clients opt for plain cream frosting, but Heather went super pink and girly for Reagan and I love it!

One of my favorite thing is making cake smash dreams come true so I was delighted when Simone asked me to create a Simple Fun Woodland Themed Cake Smash Pictures Hendersonville NC for her son Brennex! It includes a big brother named Keegan, Mom and Dad, a really spectacular cake, and lots of silliness coupled with snuggles.  Come along for the fun with me!

Family Images

I always snap a few pictures of the whole family at any cake smash session and the one below is clearly a favorite! I’m pretty sure I was making either elephant or rooster noises to charm Keegan.  Like most preschoolers, he wasn’t interested in the session unless he was the center of attention.  But with a kiddo this cute, it was easy to make Keegan feel like he was the center of attention! I love the timeless colors the Simone chose and the cute romper she borrowed from my wardrobe for Brennex.  Providing some options for the whole family to wear in the studio is one of the joys of helping your session be stress free.

My favorite session images are usually those with mom or dad. It’s so rare that we get to be in front of the lens with our kids and it’s always so beautiful for our children to really see how much they are loved by us.

One Year Cake Smash Photography

Once we finished family images it was time for Brennex to smash cake.  This lovely cake was a special commission from Christine of Baking Sweet Scents.  A simple semi-naked cake is provided and decorated for all cake smash clients, but clients are welcome to customize the cake for an an additional fee.  This cake turned out just as Simone requested and I love it!  Clearly so did Brennex. 🙂

In fact, Brennex loved it so much he had to share some with Keegan!

The Bubble Bath

I like to finish all Cake Smash sessions with a bubble bath.  It’s a simple way for you to clean off your baby, gives us a few more images, and if your baby wasn’t into the cake usually the love the bath!  Brennex loved his so much!

Are you tired of over done cake smashes and loving for a more Fresh Timeless Emotional Cake Smash Photography Simpsonville SC look? I love a pretty set (as you can see below), but for me photography is really about capturing the essence and personality of a person as they are right in that moment. Nowhere is this emotional side of my photographer more visible than in a cake smash. One year olds FEEL it all… and I shoot it all! Because I know, you’ll want to remember it all someday soon.

Reagan was feeling all kinds of ways about her cake above. And as I scan through all of those photos I took experience all of her emotions. I laugh at Reagan’s disgust at the texture of frosting. Then, I smile over her surprised look at the taste of frosting. I celebrate her joy at actually eating this cake. It’s just a treat for my feelings. This is what a good day looks like. And this is what I want to capture, not perfectly posed moments with sets so stunning I can hardly find your baby.

So what’s included in a cake smash session with me?

First, time! A typical cake smash takes 60-90 minutes. I don’t try to rush your little one, regardless of whether they need extra snuggles or extra time to explore their cake.

Second, cake! Christine from Baking Sweet Scents makes you a lovely white tiered naked cake that is included in your session fee. If you’d like to customize it like this one, then you can do so for an additional fee.

Finally, you have the right to choose. You get to choose whether you want a budget session with 15 images or an extravagant session where you get every image we produce. And you get to select the images in your package.

And did I mention that family and a bubble bath are included as well?! Does this sound like the Fresh Timeless Emotional Cake Smash Photography Simpsonville SCn you’re dreaming of for your little one? I’d love to capture all their little expressions. Contact me by clicking here.
