Cowgirl 1st Birthday Cake Smash

09.03.19

Willa’s Cowgirl 1st Birthday Cake Smash

We can always count on this awesome family for the cutest themes! The Cowgirl 1st Birthday theme is sure to be a favorite on Pinterest. We keep saying we should hire her for set design but she’s got her hands full these days 🙂 We loved big brother and sister jumping in to help out with the cake.

Set #2: Giant Birthday Party Balloons

One thing we learned the hard way is there is a helium shortage in SoCal right now! We had to go all over town to find enough helium for these balloons! This set was awesome. I think we will eventually turn it into a custom backdrop 😉

What a night!
The Assistance League Newport Mesa Ball was all the best things — beautiful, lively, and full of so many people coming together for a good cause. The dresses were gorgeous too!
It’s always such an honor to capture an event that does so much good for our community.
Thank you for letting me press pause on this night, so you can remember how special it really was.

Celebrating L + E! Their engagement party was full of sweet moments, laughter, and the kind of little glances that remind you what it’s all about.

They really do bring out the best in each other and that’s my favorite thing to capture. L’s parents went above and beyond to make it a memorable day for them

A lot of parents don’t realize how sweet (and practical!) a quick tub session can be. Not only does it help clean up all that frosting, but babies love it — the splashes and giggles make for some of the cutest photos from the whole session.
It’s the perfect way to end on a happy note, with fresh, squeaky-clean memories to go with the messy ones! It’s just water - so make sure to give a real bath once you get home 😃

Here’s my secret…don’t fight it. You play, you laugh, you follow their lead. The best photos happen when everyone’s relaxed, a little bit silly, and free to be themselves. Real is what you’ll want to remember later.
