Cake smash sessions are so much fun… and messy! It is so worth it!!! I donated a mini session to the Gwinnett Mothers of Multiples club for our annual BINGO night. My fellow GMOM that won this session has twins that are about to turn one and had the perfect opportunity to use it for a cake smash session. M and S are such cuties! I love tutus, don’t you? S and J, I hope you enjoy your photos of the girls. Their smash cakes are courtesy of Southern Sweets located in Monroe, GA.
Meet Little D, my heart throb from today. He was 14 days old today and how appropriate that it was Valentine’s Day too! Parents, I had so much fun hanging with you guys today and hope that you enjoy this sneak peek.
Look who’s turning one. Time really flies! I cannot believe that A is turning one! It felt like yesterday that I did her newborn session. After this session and all the pretty smiles, I’m really wanting a little girl badly!
So adorable! Don’t you just love pig tails?
This smile is to die for!
One of the cleanest cake smashes in history.
Well, almost…
De-icing in the bathtub!
Wow! That was an exciting race!!! Thank you so much for such an amazing turn out and for getting everyone to vote! After verifying votes, and unfortunately having to disqualify some votes for not meeting the criteria listed in the contest post, never in a million years did I think that it would come down to TWO votes that separated 1st from 2nd place and ONE vote separating 2nd from 3rd. What to do? What to do?… So, I think that an 11×14 canvas should be awarded to both the 1st and 2nd place winners since these families did a fantastic job getting support for their images!
You’re probably wanting to know the results right? Drum roll please…
Congratulations!!!!
1st Place: #5 (wins 11×14 canvas of this image)
2nd Place: #11 (wins an 11×14 canvas of this image)
3rd Place: #1 (wins an 8×10 print of this image)
Congratulations again to the winners and I’ll be in touch with you once your canvases arrive! Stay tuned to this blog and Facebook for future contests and announcements. Thank you everyone for your participation and support!
Are you ready to try something different this year for Valentine’s Day? Instead of sending your children to school with generic store bought cards, give friends and family customized Valentine’s Day cards! There are plenty of templates to choose from and some quite girlie ones too! Stay tuned for updates.
Valentine’s Day Mini Sessions-$150 per child/session
The mini session package fee is due upon booking to secure your spot.
Call or email me as soon as possible to set up an appointment.
Some examples:
We hope that everyone had a Happy New Year! To kick off our year here, we will be having our first contest of the year! I thought for a really long time on what contest to hold and finally decided that I love all of my clients for supporting me through the past year and wanted to show my appreciation. Thank you so much!!!
Below, you will find images from my clients this past year. Each session will be represented by one image. You may see the same people more than once. This means that they’ve had more than one session with me this year.
How this contest works:
-Each image is labeled with a number
-To vote, just comment at the bottom of this post only. Your vote may not show up immediately, because it has to be moderated (we get lots of random spam).
-Each person may vote for TWO images on my blog and then have Two more votes on my Facebook fan page for a total of FOUR votes. There is a tab on the side of the blog that will take you straight to the Facebook page. You will have to fan my page on Facebook if you want to vote there. Please use the numbers listed on the blog. (I do have a way of checking if you vote for the same image twice, so please don’t)
-To get more votes for your image, encourage friends and family to vote too!
Now the best part:
PRIZES
1st place- 11×14 Gallery wrapped CANVAS of the winning image
2nd and 3rd place: 8×10 print (traditional e-surface paper) of the 2nd/3rd place photo
