Milestones

Baby Emmalou Turns One!

A Modern Pink & Gold Cake Smash

I cannot believe sweet little Emmalou is ONE! Ugh, where did that year go?! I couldn’t help but take a little stroll down memory lane while editing these. Emmalou first came to me as a tiny newborn last summer, and then again over the winter for a sitter session. She’s always been such a happy and smiley baby, but I love how she seemed to get more and more comfortable with us each time we met. We love getting to watch our families grow up as we document their milestones!

What better way to celebrate Emmalou’s first year than with a cake smash session? I’m all about these balloon sets lately. These vibrant pink and gold tones made my color-loving heart so happy! This girl was all grins from the moment she walked in the door, so we breezed through a few portraits and got on to the main event: CAKE! Emmalou wasted no time being dainty with her cake. She dove right into it, and even had some icing on her eyelashes by the time she was done!

I love these sessions because they’re just so fun and celebratory. Parents know that first year is all about survival mode. It’s so important to take a moment and celebrate how much your baby has grown! Please enjoy a few favorites from Emmalou’s cake smash!

When it comes to engagement photos, I’m all about making the session feel personal and true to your relationship. One of my favorite ways to do that is to include your dog! For so many couples, a pup is part of the family, so it only makes sense to bring them along for this special […]

Some wedding days are extra special and this one is near the top of the list. Jaclyn isn’t just one of my beautiful brides… she’s also my cousin. Being part of her and Billy’s Chesapeake Bay Beach Club wedding in Kent Island, Maryland, was both an honor and a joy. This was a rare and […]
