Kolton 1 Year Cake Smash Baby's First Year | Baby Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

I cannot believe I have been hanging out with this little guy every month for the past year!  I have really become attached to him and to the great conversation with Sarah- his mom- that was sure to happen every month!

This is his last session from his Baby's First Year package.  Sarah and Zach wanted to incorporate some family pictures with Kolton as well as the coveted Cake Smash at the end of the session!  :)

Here are a few images from their sweet family session, enjoy!

And a few from Kolton's 12 month pictures!
Check out this cool shirt Sarah ordered for him!  :)

And the grand finale...The Cake Smash!
Kolton didn't waste any time tearing into his cake.  I think this might have been the fastest smashing I have ever photographed!!

The aftermath!

Valentine Girls | Children's Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

Oh, these sweet little girls!  I just love spending time with them and seeing how much they have grown!  Brinley, the big sister, is so matter-of-fact and caring- guiding her little sister when necessary, while Nixon, the youngest, is "Mama's Little Firecracker" and I love it!

Both girls are so caring and I just got a big kick out of it.  My husband dropped me off at the session, while he was running errands.  This means that my daughter was in the car with him.  Nixon ran over and started talking to my daughter and throughout our session, she kept asking, "When do we get to see the baby again?"(my daughter is 2, tehehe)  Oh bless her, it was so adorable!!!  They just hit it off!

I think my favorite Nixon line of the night was when she looked at me, tilted her head to the side, which at this point I could tell the gears were turning and I was so eager to hear what was next, she points at my belly and says, "Mama, what's in her belly?"  :D  Gosh, she is just too cute!!!

Enjoy these images from the girl's session!

This is my favorite image from the girls' session.  Looooove these sisters!

Our first stop was the bridge, so the girls could throw some rocks in the creek.  Of course, this leads to a hilarious memory from our session.  Keep reading to find out!  :)

 So we have been throwing for maybe 10 minutes, the girls running back and forth grabbing rocks as fast as they can, all the while I am taking pictures, laughing and having a great time with them.  Nixon, comes back with a rock and we tell her to slow down and throw the rock really well. She does exactly like we said (including the most adorable excitement face in the image below!!)- flings her arm WAAAAY back, slowly brings it forward and ROCKETS this stone towards the water.  Well, if you look closely at the picture below, you will see the problem.  Nixon's height is perfect for the rock to hit the top rail!!!  And, boy did she ever!  The rock came FLYING back at me, yes, to answer your question, I am still taking pictures, when I feel something hit my right shoulder!  All of this happened so fast I didn't see it through the lens, I was way to busy laughing and having a great time with them, but their Mama is hysterically laughing in the background and when I look up I finally realize what it is that happened and why she is laughing like crazy!  Good times with Nixon!  :D

We took a little walk through the boardwalks and stopped at a couple lovely little spots for sweet sisters to share a secret and smile for us!

After taking this little walk, the girls wanted to go hunting for frogs, so, of course, I was game!!  It was a lot of fun watching the girls hunt for frogs- they were so excited! Although we only saw Tadpoles, I count it as a success! :)

 I just love this image of Brinley laughing, she is soooo full of joy and laughter!

Jillian {9 months} Baby's First Year | Baby Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

Well, recent rains caused us to have to reschedule Jillian's 9 month session for about a week later, but it was worth it!  :)

Take a look at how much she has grown!  I know I say this every month, but I still cannot believe it!  She was such a little trooper too; she had a little cold and you never would have known it.  I had a fabulous time hanging out with her!  Enjoy.

 Look at all of these teeth!!

oooooooh, sneaky little girl pulling mommy's hair!

Lovin' on mom.

Kolton {11 Months} Baby's First Year | Baby Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

Well, the time has come that I just completed the only session left in Kolton's Baby's First Year package.  I can't believe it, and I am sure I will cry whenever I have to deliver that disc!  He is such a little darling and I have really enjoyed the monthly chats with his mama.  In the mean time, you can enjoy his 11 month session, until I have finished his fun cake smash!  :)

Here is Kolton's 11 month session,  he has grown so much.....ahhh enjoy.

Farrah's 1st Birthday Party | Birthday Party Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

First, I just have to say that Farrah's mother is an amazing baker and decorator!  This 1st birthday party was just too adorable in every way possible!!

Farrah- the star of the show, was so cute in her little pink and purple coordinating outfits!

The decorations, like I said, were so creative and wonderful!

The cake was fantastic (I just love the fact she sent two HUGE pieces home with me!); my husband was raving (not to mention he ate it all!) about how good they were!

Oh yeah, did I mention she had the idea to have a photobooth with me?!

Oh, yeah, it was THAT kinda cool party!

Enjoy.

The decorations and delicious ombre cake!

 One cake was strawberry and another (looked like this one and said Happy 1st Birthday) was chocolate.  I found out, later, that Farrah's mom worked at a bakery while she was in college!  I am lobbying that she put that knowledge and talent to good use!!  :)

Cake Time!!

I love how helpful her big brother was!  :)

 Big brother lending a helping hand....with eating all of the decorations off the side of the cake!  :)

Party Booth!

Here are a couple shots, from the party booth, of this sweet family!  They didn't let a little rain (okay, okay, a monsoon) get them down!  They had a fabulous time celebrating Farrah's 1st birthday and I am so blessed they allowed me to capture it for them!  :)

All of the guests loved the party booth and they had a great time dressing up in party hats with kazoos and writing all kinds of fun things on the chalk board!

Brady Turns One! | Baby Photographer Camp Hill, Pa

Brady is turning the big O-N-E!  I cannot believe all of the talents he has acquired, just in time to show them off at his first birthday party!  Teeth, walking, dancing, independence- he is just so adorable!!

We met up at a super fun local park and Brady was just a handsome little guy for me, and as his treat- he got to smash a cake until his heart was content!  :)  Enjoy.

 Brady should be the next spokesperson for "Swings are AWESOME!"  :)  Look how much fun he is having!!

 I just love this image!!!  Everyone needs to love life and dance like Brady!!!

 It's Cake Smash Time!!!  p.s. This is my FAVORITE part!!

I hope you enjoyed Brady's session and cake smash!  :)


Be Blessed.
