What better way to celebrate the big ONE with a Swan theme. Kristen and I decided to keep it light and airy for Corals photos... Lets just say she was not a happy camper when she was eating her cupcake but had no problem crumbling it! Sweet big sis Gemma was such a big helper it was adorable! How are my babies growing up so fast!!!
Teal & mint first birthday shoot : Norfolk VA
A colorful Cake smash
This chunk of sugah turns one TODAY! I cant believe a year has flown by since you entered the world, Grant Knepper! You are the definition of adorable with your permanent blond cow lick and fabulous chunky thighs! Even though you don't love messes you, handled the confetti explosion like a champ (we know who you get your disliking of glitter/confetti from). Huge shout out to Momma Ashley for her colorful vision, Autumn for making crazy noises and Isabelle for popping the rest of the confetti! Id say Grant approves of that cake!
(If any of you mommas are interested in that "ONE" balloon, check out our neighbors at Jollity for all your babes party supplies!)
Where the wild thing are: Vincents first Birthday
I just want to take a minute to give a shout out to Vincent's Momma, Chelsea for designing and creating the most magical first birthday party I have EVER witnessed. I first met Vincent at his newborn session, when he was the teeniest little guy (where we might have shoved him in a bucket of golf balls haha). Now he definitely wont fit in that bucket but he sure is crawling around and cheesing away!
His birthday party theme (If you could not guess from the photo above) is "Where the wild things are." Crowns and amazing backdrops filled the room along with a custom leaf wall that Chelsea sewed together. Food was served on wooden chargers and Vincent's grandmother created his boat (on her own!).
The details were perfection for a perfect little boy! Happy birthday Vincent!!
Mommy and me garden session: Nia & Kalpa
This is our second annual Mommy and me session with these two ladies. Last time miss Nia wasnt quite running around but this time she kept me on my toes. Her love for flowers and bubbles and books are so sweet. We had a humid hot day but that didnt stop her from exploring all over. She is definitely one of the sweetest souls I have worked with!!
Minnie Mouse Sunset Birthday Session: Sandbridge VA
I met little Natalie when she was around 6 months old for her first Christmas photos. Fast forward a year and a half later she is celebrating her 2nd birthday, Minnie Mouse style of course! This little girl has the biggest heart and is so well behaved. She loves to give her minnie mouse hugs, (even brushes the sand off Minnie when she falls on the ground) and shares her seat with her baby brother. Her sweetness just melts my heart!
On our initial session it ended up DOWNPOURING when we pulled into the parking lot (SO bipolar this VB weather is!!). Luckily we rescheduled last minute for that Sunday evening and even though we had a couple photographers to dodge, we had the BEST evening and beautuiful sky! Enjoy this beautiful second birthday!!
