Carrolton, Missouri Cake Smash Photographer ~ Gentry’s Berry First Birthday

I can’t believe this is my first Berry Cake Smash Session in 10 years. It’s such a cute, simple, sweet, girly cake smash theme! And Gentry did not disappoint!

I knew when mom said she had been walking for awhile we had out work cut out for us….. they do not slow down you guys! They go go go!

That’s where chairs and props come in! I usually have about 2 min of them in the chair before they make their way out of it and on to other things…. Especially if there is strawberries laying everywhere! Didn’t take her long to find a fake one and try to take a bite, so we quickly subbed it for a real one and let her eat! Made for some super cute photos!

And then there is always the spoon! Once they get ahold of the spoon, rarely do they want to let it go! It is usually a lifesaver for these sessions. Gentry was loving the spoon to beat and smash her cake! After so much icing from the cake they are always ready for drink. It is becoming part of every cake smash session to have a “drink break” photo lol a quick drink works every time to get them back on board with us, if even for a couple minutes. This girl nailed her cake smash photo session and I love the theme of Berry First Birthday and I can’t wait to do the next one and see how I can switch it up!

This one was a special one for me! I want to introduce you guys to Legend Ezekiel Ray. Tay and Zayvion were so loving toward this little guy. Dad gave him kisses on his little forehead when I took him and it made me melt. They are going to be fantastic parents and I know he has an army at home to love on him. This is one of the sweetest families I know!

I did Tay’s Senior photo session in high school and she chose me to do her newborn photo session too! This boy was sooooooo good for all the different poses I wanted to do. She had sent me a few ideas she found on Pinterest and I tried my best to give her everything she wanted. The little bear is always a popular one.

I was swooning over this boys hair, All my newborn sessions lately I feel like they have had nice little heads of hair, which doesn’t happen very often! All boys too…… lot’s of newborn boys lately. I think I can almost see a little grin, he was having some sweet dreams in that bucket. One other thing I try to do in all my newborn sessions is get the little feet, lips, hands, ears…. they will never be this small again, we have to get the details!!

And mom’s hands wrapped around her sweet boy……

Tay asked me to try this swing pose for her, I have only done it a couple times before, and by this time he was kind of over us messing with him, he just wanted to sleep and be left alone! This is why I do mostly wrapped poses for my sessions. When you unleash those arms and legs the babe tends to wake up and get wiggly. Took us a minute but we got it!

It was so good seeing Tay and meeting her two new loves, Zayvion and Legend, I wish all the best for you guys and thank you again for choosing me to capture these memories for you!

Clover is this girls name and she couldn’t have been more perfect at her newborn photo session! She let me fly through 3 or 4 setups before she decided she needed a snack and mommy cuddles, then let me do a couple more! Fastest newborn session I have had in awhile! I also took her big brother’s newborn photos and his cake smash session as well. One of my favorite parts of being a cake smash, milestone and newborn photographer is getting to see these babies grow up and their families grow too! I have had a ton of newborn sessions booked for the next couple months for second babies coming my way. Very excited to see all these families again!

Carrolton Missouri Football Cakesmash Photography Session

Noah’s football themed cake smash was so fun to design! I have done this theme before but this time I was excited to add my giant football! I am just starting to learn this technique of prop design for my cake smash sessions, and I am looking forward to all the new possibilities it opens up for my set designs! Every theme is personalized and never repeated so your kiddos cake smash session is one of a kind!

Noah was in my studio for a Christmas Mini Session and he was all about the cookies to the point mom had to intervene before he choked himself. Because of that we were thinking he would be all about the cake, but he was NOT! However I have done over 200 cake smash sessions and I know how to get the job done and get the photos to give you a complete gallery of memories no matter how much your little one does or doesn’t like the cake. I have a few tricks up my sleeve!
