Last week I was lucky enough to get to photograph little Eden’s cake smash. Eden has the most gorgeous eyes. I am a sucker for some baby blues.

  • She was a little hesitant at first.
  • Then she was all about it.
  • Next, she didnt want to move because she was covered in frosting.
  • Mom started to eat some too then she was ok and happy again.

It was the first cake smash Ive ever done and it was so much fun watching her do something she had never done before. Made me quite excited for my own little guys one year photos coming up so soon.

Anna is my adorable little neighbor. Ive been wanting to have a session with her since she was a wee little one but now she is all grown up and kissing boys. Yes, those boys might be only my 5 month old son..but she at least has great taste! She loves her baby Jack!cute little girl laying on the grasshappy little 2 year old

 I love when I get to see babies grow up. It is definitely one of my favorite things about this job.

I think the first time I met Cassie she was a little over a year old. Here was the first time I saw her:

And of course little Ben the first time I saw him back in February…

  Their mom had some awesome plans for this photo session which mainly involved his adorable older sister Cassie. They had a tea party on their front lawn. I think Cassie definitely ate her share in lemon cookies.

Sarah, thank you for being awesome. Your kids are the cutest ever!

I wasnt kidding I totally want to see you all when you make it out to the Seattle Tacoma area. :)

Okay, I totally went cheeseball on the blog title because their last name IS Love. I met the Love’s last year when I had a newborn session with little Drake. He is now a year and a half and probably one of the smartest kids I’ve ever met. He is spitting out super long words like they are nothing and is so into everything. Its awesome! The last time I saw him he looked like this:20100111-Drake (91)-32you might remember him being the cabbage patch baby :) A lot of you really liked the concept. Drake didnt.20100111-Drake (393)-140
