I’ve had the privilege of photographing this cutie pie quite a few times now. He’s a serious one, and doesn’t give up smiles too easily. Luckily we caught a couple during out time together this weekend to celebrate his 3rd birthday. He is all about Chip and Dale right now and that is his birthday theme. He had an amazing cake from the wondering Iriene over at Artylicious cakes, and his mom made an adorable banner, puppets and t-shirt to match his theme.
Check out this handsome fellow! He will be turning 1 Wednesday! So hard to believe. We met over at Bond Park this weekend to capture all of his cuteness. He was full of smiles and so good for his session. It was so great to be able to see him again. I hope you have a Happy 1st Birthday E!
I can hardly believe this handsome little fellow turned 1 yesterday. He’s fully mobile and exploring the world and I still remember taking his newborn photos. He was such a cutie pie today with those huge brown eyes and lashes. When it came to his cupcake there was no hesitation that, he picked it up and went for it like a champ. Mom and Dad had to pry it out of his hands =) Happy 1st birthday Logan. It has been a joy and honor to watch you grow over the past year!
Another baby planner just turned 1. Such a sweet girl and family. I’m so honored to have been able to watch her reach her milestones and grow up. I especially enjoyed her 1st birthday shoot. She has developed such a big personality and was full of smiles and giggles for her session, and of course she looked ADORABLE! I’ve gotten so many messages and emails on her cake smash set up, everyone loved it. Great job mom and dad!
My oldest daughter turned 6 this month, which is part of the reason it’s been a little quieter than usual around here. One of my New Year resolutions was to slow down and spent more time with family. Anyone who knows my oldest daughter Olivia knows that she can be shy, and hates being the center of attention. She decided she did not want a big birthday party this year, but did still want a great birthday cake.
It has become a tradition in our house that she gets a birthday cake from Artylicious cakes in Raleigh. It started a few years ago with her amazing Rapunzel cake. Last year we had a Brave birthday cake, and this year – well everything is about the movie Frozen so we had a Frozen birthday cake. Since it was just family and close friends I told Iriene at Artylicious we just needed a simple, small cake and left the design up to her. Once again she did not disappoint. I can’t tell you how much fun it is and how excited both my daughters are to get to see the cake for the first time. Of course everyone loved it. Iriene’s work is amazing and so detail oriented. I absolutely HATE cutting into her cakes, for a few minutes. Then I forget about it when I get to taste how delicious they are. This year we chose one of the newer flavors – cookies and cream. It was awesome, and full of chopped up cookies. It was so good I completely forgot to take a picture of the inside of the cake before everyone gobbled it up. You’ll just have to take my word for it, or go get one and try it yourself.
Here’s a couple quick pictures of the amazing cake. The theme was quite fitting as we got 6 inches of snow on her birthday and were all “Frozen” after playing in it all day =)
