Rookie Of The Year! | Cake Smash Photography; Frederick, MD

The fastest six months ever have passed since Jonathan was here for his sitter session! I didn’t mind it though because he was such a little sweetie and his parents are the BEST. This time they brought an amazing traditional outfit for him to honor his dad’s Nigerian heritage and also celebrated Jonathan being born here with the most American themed cake smash ever: Baseball! What a lovely combination of cultures in one session. It was so fun tickling his toes and playing with balloons. We saw all four of those adorable teeth he’s grown since I’ve seen him last and then he used those teeth to chomp on his birthday cake! I already can’t wait to hang out with these three again soon.
I’m so glad I could celebrate and capture Jonathan’s special first birthday!

Here’s the before and after of cake smash. I love how a balloon ended up in the cake by the end! LOL

A Dear Family | Family Photography; Frederick, MD

What an absolute treat it is to have the whole family together! And I do mean the WHOLE family. Not only are some of these folks my dear friends, but I’ve hung out with, or had family sessions with almost all of these guys at different times. It was so much fun to watch all the kiddos running around together and see the cousins laughing and catching up. It was a whirlwind of smiles amid the lovely orangey sunset (what happened to be the parting gift of the Canadian wildfire we felt the effects of earlier this week.) We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful evening for this big beautiful gathering!

Violet! You’re Turning Violet! | Cake Smash Photography; Frederick, MD

Oh my gosh you guys! Fastest year ever. Last time Violet was here, she was just a sleepy potato and now she’s walking around, investigating everything, and working on saying big words like Balloon! We had so much fun in the studio the other day. I’ve seen a lot of different reactions to first birthday cakes, but eating it with a fork was a first! I love how there were three colors in her cake, but she ended up mostly purple in the end. I couldn’t help but catch a sweet post-bath mama snuggle to wrap up the session. I always love when these three hang out and I feel so happy looking through these, so please enjoy Violet’s cake smash session!

Maya Is Graduating! | Senior Portrait Photography

My sweet little cousin, who was the flower girl at my wedding when she was THREE is graduating this year!! I can’t believe how fast time is flying (because I haven’t aged a day! LOL) but I know Maya is off to do some amazing things and make the world as gorgeous as she is!!

Sweet Spring Smiles | Studio Family Photography; Frederick, MD

Another beautiful session with these incredible humans. We got to play around with a bunch of flowers because it’s springtime, and we tested out my latest lifestyle corner update! Every time these cuties are in front of my lens, I can’t believe how much bigger they were than the last. Time is a thief. Luckily I can cheat it with these memories bottled up for us to keep forever!
