Breakfast At Tiffany’s Cake Smash – 1st birthday

Breakfast At Tiffany’s Cake Smash Session

We recently had a special request for a Breakfast at Tiffany’s cake smash session! I was certain that this idea would be tricky and boy was I right! We looked around the web and couldn’t find a background that would work. So Danielle says, “let’s make one! She put her paint skills to work and created this gorgeous Tiffany & Co. storefront by hand. The teal blue boxes with white ribbons filled in the rest with a few random props brought in by the client.

This session is definitely one of our favorites from 2018. The final result was exactly what we hoped for! Baby Rose loved her Tiffany & Co. box cake created by French’s Cupcake Bakery as well. We have a good feeling that this theme will be back very soon!

Photography started as something I loved.

I never picked up a camera thinking it would become a business, support my family, introduce me to thousands of incredible people, or still be part of my life 20+ years later.

But somewhere along the way, a hobby became a career.

Then a business.

Then a huge part of my life. 🤍

I’ve photographed weddings, newborns, seniors, families, birthdays, and milestones for people I’ve known for decades.

And honestly?

The greatest part isn’t the photos.

It’s the people.

The families who come back year after year.
The babies who become seniors.
The clients who become friends.

That’s what keeps me showing up every day.

Do you have a hobby you secretly wish could become your full-time job? 

Comment LEARN if you’d like to see how I turned photography into a 20+ year business.
You trusted a photographer with 3000+ followers… instead of 300k 👀

And honestly? Best decision ever. 🤍

Because great photos aren’t about follower count.

They’re about connection, experience, and capturing your child in a way that actually feels like THEM.

The laughing.
The personality.
The little in-between moments parents never want to forget. 🥹

That’s the stuff that matters years later ✨
Personality Portraits booking now….Most of my clients have no idea what the final image is going to look like when I’m taking it.

I’m asking siblings to stand here.
Look there.
Move closer.
Laugh at each other. 

And sometimes it probably makes absolutely no sense in the moment.

But that’s the beauty of trusting the process.

Because what I’m really looking for isn’t perfect smiles.

It’s connection.

The way siblings look at each other.
The little laughs.
The personalities that make your family yours.

Those are the photos that end up meaning the most years later. 

If you love photos that capture your child's personality, comment PERSONALITY and I'll send you all the details about our Personality Portrait Sessions 🤍
