Maple Valley Photographer | Seattle Photographer {Beck's 1 Year Cake Smash}

I have limited myself on house calls since moving up to the great northwest due to the unpredictability of natural lighting. However, driving from my home studio in Maple Valley once in awhile is a good change of scenery for me!! I have loved photographing baby Beck in the past 6 months and I cannot believe he is ONE already!!

Going with his farm themed birthday, we had fun setting up a little themed cake smash for his 1 year photos. It's always interesting to see how babies explore and take to a cake, seeing as most of them are tasting it for the first time. Beck wasn't much of a fan, but it sure did look good!!!

Maple Valley Newborn Photographer | Seattle Newborn Photographer {Baby Watson}

11 day old, Watson, and his cute little family came to my home studio in Maple Valley last week. Boy was he such a good little model for me… I don't think I heard a peep out of him throughout the entire session. Even when he was wide awake, he just let me do my thing and barely moved a muscle. He had an amazing big sister who was so well behaved and quite the character… we got some great personality shining through in her photos!! All in all, this was one of the quickest and smoothest newborn sessions to date… several poses in just 2 hours!! Enjoy…

Maple Valley Baby Photographer | Seattle Baby Photographer {Sam's ONE Year Cake Smash}

This past year has flown by and I cannot believe my youngest just turned ONE!! I have had such a blast photographing my little guy over the past 12 months, but I gotta take advantage of that while he's little because his big brothers get very annoyed with mommy and her camera now.

We are planning a big birthday celebration when we visit California in a couple weeks, and the theme for our Sam-I-Am is Dr. Seuss!! I designed his invitations with these cake smash photos and I just adore them! A client of mine introduced me to a new fun shoot… a cake smash AND splash!! So, we got out a bucket and bubbles and had lots of fun after he got all messy from all that smashing. Here are my favorites.

Happy Birthday, Sam!!!
