Here's William's cake smash! He was pretty cute about the whole thing! Unfortunately, we had to be a little mean and we gave him the cake at first and then took it away. I had to microwave the cake a tiny bit to warm up the frosting. He was sooo mad at me! ;-) But he got over it as soon as we gave him another taste of the medicine.
Such an adorable cake!! :-)
And the aftermath....Do you see that frosting footprint there on the left! LOVE it! :-)
Oh my gosh, this little boy is sooo sweet! And you know what I liked even more about his session. He totally reminded me of my son Kellan! William was all boy when it came to playing with the blocks we gave him. Throwing them a bit. Taking them out and putting them back in over and over again. My son seems so aggressive to me compared to when my girls were younger and it was fun for me to see another boy just like Kellan! :-)
And oh my some of these are just too adorable, if I do say so myself! LOVE this little guy's bright blue eyes!
The one below is my favorite of the session! Just absolutely LOVE that face!
And we've reached the point in the session where William was done with me and decided it was time to play! :-)
We tried to do a cake smash with my niece Eliana. Hee...this is probably the fifth or sixth cake smash I've done and it's funny...more often than not, the kiddos are NOT into the cake. It cracks me up! Miss Eliana was so neat and clean and didn't like having the smooshy stuff all over her hands. She refused to even TASTE it! ;-) She was a good sport though!
Dressed in the tutu I made her, we got some cute pics!
This is an extra special sneak peek! Special...because it's MY niece! I can't believe little Eliana is a year old already! She did a great job for her session and brought some smiles for me and her momma. She is the most adorable thing ever! But of course, I'm pretty biased!
She's talking....
She's walking...
She's riding....
She's super sweet!!!
Here's another sneak peek from my Lily Bella East sessions: the Ansari Family. Their kids were cutie pies and actually very patient with me. It took a little work to find some smiles, but with a little help from the "hot dog" song (ie: The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme song) we got a few of them.
I really like this brick wall backdrop. The more I use it, the more I love it. :-)
Getting a sibling shot proved to be a bit more difficult as I think the kids were just sort of done looking and smiling at this point. But they were having fun! :-)
A few sneak peeks coming up to round out my 2011. We headed to Wisconsin over New Year's where I had "Lily Bella East" open for a day. :-) I shot three sessions in one day at my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's house. Lily Bella East will be open for three or four sessions in 2012. I will post the dates in the near future. Let me know if you're interested!
The first one is for a sweet five year old we know named Lilah! She really cracks me up. She is so dramatic and over the top at times and other times completely shy and introverted. I could tell she had fun at her session. I gave her choices of which backgrounds and floors to use as well as poses and she just ran with it!
Lilah's parents are good friends of ours that we've known for years and don't get to see in person on a regular basis (thank goodness for Facebook!). So it was especially fun to see them for a photo session and then dinner afterwards.
I really like that black and white "serious Lilah" pose. Just something about it. :-)
It was so fun to see cutie pie Zander again! It is amazing to see these little ones grow every couple months! Zander really had filled out and he was so curious looking all around. He did very well relaxing in my various baskets and hanging out on the boppy pillow. So cute!
We photographed Zander in this bear blanket when he was a newborn. We thought it would be fun to take a sequence of photos of him in the bear blanket as he gets older. Below is his newborn photo and the three month photo. :-)
