Sterling Family [Simple Studio]

Is there anything better than just keeping it simple and allowing your family to just shine? No. The answer is no. Little Miss CeCe + her parents came to see me during a simple mini session and honestly, I just love the simplicity of the entire session. CeCe’s personality shines, you can see and focus on her and her smile and you can feel the love her parents have for her! Sometimes simple is better.

I mean, does it honestly get cuter than that?

Jackson [Smash Cake]

Mr. Jackson is the second baby in this family I was able to capture a smash cake session for. For big sis we went all out and did a super cute purple space theme for First Trip Around The Sun but for Jackson mama wanted to keep it a little more neutral but wanted a small pop of baseball, so thats exactly what we did!

I love this balloon garland and how it adds so much variety and texture to the set without being overbearing and how the small baseballs on the balloons just add a little baseball feel. Then I chose a stiped outfit instead of a jersey to coordinate the baseball theme without it being the first thing you notice, but more subtle.

Enjoy some more images from Mr. Jacksons smash and splash session!

Lily [Smash Cake]

When mama reached out about doing Lily’s smash cake session, she wanted something neutral, simple and maybe with florals. I had her go through my Instagram and send me a couple different sessions I have done so I could get an idea of what to throw together for her, and we landed on florals, with a honeycomb theme. I generally provide the outfits and the cake as well as create the set based on your choice of theme or inspo BUT mama brought this little dress and it was absolutely perfect for the theme.

Check out some more of her session!

Confetti Minis!

Confetti minis are honestly so much! I generally say to make sure your child is at least 3 but these two did soo good for being barely 1 and 3. Some was eaten, some was thrown but there were a lot of laughs, a lot of dad wrangling tiny humans and overall, so much fun!

Pro Tip! Use big pieces of confetti or glitter for easier clean up, because you will be cleaning up for years! Also, little kids do soo good so it’s totally okay to have mom or dad throw glitter/confetti into the air over them so that they laugh and see it!

Teddy [BeanSprout]

What is a Bean Sprout Package? The BeanSprout Package is what I call my one year package! It is a full newborn session, sitter and smash cake bundle. The newborn session generally takes place within the first 21 days after baby makes their way earthside. You choose 2-3 colors to incorporate into your session and I plan and style everything. For Teddy, mama wanted blues and green with a slight American Flag mixed in for grandpa! So we incorporated the American Flag scarf throughout all three of Teddy’s sessions!

The full newborn session includes my entire newborn workflow; naked, wrapped, family.

The sitter session takes place once baby is fully sitting unassisted without help. This session usually takes place between 7-8 months. A lot of parents want this session right at 6 months however, most babies are not sitting fully unassisted until closer to 7-8 months. We want baby to be stable in their sitting and not wobbly so they dont get too tired throughout the session but also so you can relax a little bit without worrying about trying to catch your baby the entire session. This session also includes 3 sets; wood drop in a prop, plain/fabric backdrop in an outfit, and nakie on the bed.

And finally to round out the year, we do a smash cake session. This session takes place around 11M to make sure we have your ordering appointment in time for baby’s birthday. If you want to wait until closer to baby’s birthday, that is cool too! I am here for you and whatever you want from the session. For the smash cake, you choose the theme and I plan and style everything. Mama wanted to keep it simple with a hint of Teddy Bears and neutral balloons! The smash and splash also comes with three “parts”; baby with the set, smash and the splash (because who wants to take home a sticky kid?).
