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!

There’s something undeniably captivating about the waterfront. Maryland’s waterfront venues, whether tucked along the Chesapeake Bay, lining the Eastern Shore, or framed by historic piers, have a way of making portraits feel expansive without ever feeling empty. The light shimmers across the water, the horizon stretches open, and every angle offers a new composition. Portraits […]
