Northern Virginia Cake Smash Photography Session featuring baby Estelle

How adorable is this Northern Virginia Cake Smash Photography Session with baby Estelle? Milestone sessions are one of my favorite sessions to capture. It’s that fun age when they are learning to walk and talk and SO curious with everything around them.

My biggest advice I could give for parents when booking a Northern Virginia Family Session and Cake Smash Session is to not expect anything to go right. You heard me! When they get to that age (one year old), this is when they become more vocal of what they like and dislike. So for cake smashes, not every kids will be excited to have a full cake and dig into it. But no matter how the child reacts to it, just know, happy or not these memories are worth capturing and you can later on share these memories and have a good laugh.

Tips for picking the perfect cake. This is VERY important. Simple is key! I would steer away from fondant because that’s really hard for a little one to get into. Highly suggest frosting because that’s easy for the little ones and makes a good photo op! If you have a theme for the session I would suggest getting your cake to match that theme! Very adorable and I have great baker recommendations to fit your needs!

I always like to start with a couple of portraits before baby gets messy, this includes family photos as well! This gives them a chance to warm up to me. I always recommend the session to start in the AM for best lighting and happy little one. We all know that our little ones have, what’s called witching hour so definitely morning is best. If you are having fun, your baby will most likely have fun as well!

Loudoun County Virginia Family Photography/ Evelyn Milestone Session

I am SO excited to share this sweet Leesburg Virginia Milestone Session with you at one of my favorite locations, Ida Lee Park! ! These images reflect how much I love photographing children, especially when I get to see them grow!

Ms Evelyn has grown so much since the last time I saw her for her newborn photos! It’s amazing how much kids grow in the first year, and little Evelyn has so much personality!

I meet with all of my clients for a consultation, this allows us to break the ice and learn more about your family and what you have envisioned for the session. I love meeting my clients before hand because it makes it less awkward when doing the actual session. This is also a great opportunity to learn more about your kids and builds that trust between us! I also love learning about their personalities, this helps me when photographing them. A lot of times kids are shy being photographed, but learning what they like is a huge reason I recommend doing a consultation!

Thank you Jon & Kim for allowing me to capture Evelyn and being part of watching her grow, I am truly honored. Thank you for also writing a review on facebook.
