Fairy Cake Smash Session – 1st Birthday

Fairy Cake Smash – 1st Birthday Session

It seems like Scott and Shelly’s wedding was just yesterday, and here we are celebrating their little girl’s first birthday! Mom really wanted a Fairy Cake Smash theme and we had the perfect backdrop. We loved her matching purple tutu and fairy wings! The cute little headband was a nice touch as well! French’s Cupcake Bakery did a beautiful job with the themed cake. We can always count on their team to match our backgrounds and set. The fairy cake smash session ended with a cute little bath!

I have been photographing this family since their wedding, and every year just gets better. The Back Bay gave us such a beautiful backdrop for their fall session this year.

It is so special watching families grow and being the one to document each season of life.

What will you want to remember about this season of life?

It might not be the big milestones but the way your kids fit perfectly in your arms right now, the laughter that fills your home, and how it feels to just be together.

Family photos are more than pictures, they are reminders of what matters most. 🤍

🎅 Santa has a message for you!

He is stopping by Gilmore Studios on November 15 and 22 for our Santa Experience, and you are invited. This is not your typical mall Santa visit.

Your child will find their name on the nice list, ask Santa anything they want, read part of their favorite Christmas story, and share a cookie with him. They will even leave with a certificate for making the nice list and a special gift to remember their visit.

Comment SANTA2025 below and I will send you the link to grab your spot before they are gone.

This dance feels like it was just yesterday.

Prom was such a fun night, and looking back at these photos makes me miss Tyler even more while he is away serving a church mission.

It is crazy how fast these moments go by, but I am so proud of the young man he has become. 💙

I love personality portraits.

Classic outfits, clean backdrops, and each child’s personality shining through in their own way. These sessions feel timeless and are some of my favorites because they capture who your kids are right now, their smiles, their expressions, their quirks.

These are the photos that never go out of style and will mean even more as the years go by.
