Smash Cake Photography | Mentor, Ohio Photographer | Minnie Mouse

Baby Jazmin’s Minnie Mouse themed birthday photography shoot!

I have the best time when families contact me and are interested in doing a specialized themed for their baby’s first birthday photos! Really the sky is the limit the all the different options and themes we can create together. My goal is to work with the family and customize their desired theme.

Baby Jazmin’s family was interested in a fun Minnie Mouse theme! So of course I immediately thought of lots of pink, white and gold color accents. I provided most all of the decor and the cake was made specially by her grandma. How cool is that! Her grandma owns an adorable cake business in Mentor, Ohio.

Are you thinking of first birthday portraits? Please reach out since I do schedule well in advance. I also offer different pricing options for those who either want a lot of just a few pictures of their special day:)

Sometimes miracles come in two | Cleveland, Ohio | Newborn Photographer

The weather was crisp and cool but it made for the perfect backdrop for maternity photos in October. Squires Castle nestled in Cleveland, Ohio remains one of my top choices for maternity shoots. Especially during the fall and winter. There is just something so mystically, dreamy and beautiful about a castle secluded in the woods.

I also understand how it can be tough to sometimes to photograph little ones, when they are filled with energy. Thats why my style of photography isn’t staged and stiff. If the kids want to run, I run with them! And capture those genuine fun smiles. After all the candid picks, usually end up being my favorite anyway!

If you are excepting and want to learn more about all of my maternity, bump to baby and newborn photography. Please reach out! I have many packages that can be what you are looking for.

Oh there is golden light… Then there is golden light in the winter at a beautiful tree farm!
