Have I mentioned that I love photographing newborns?  Here a few sweet shots from the first month of the year.  I have lots of newborns already on the schedule for the first six months of the year and I love each and every session.  If you are interested in a newborn session, don't wait!  I hate to have to turn people away for newborn sessions because they waited until the baby was born to try to schedule but unfortunately it has to happen some time.  I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Turning ONE is so much FUN! | First Birthday cake Smash | Lake County Ohio Photographer

I've been a terrible blogger.  I admit it.  But I've been very busy spending time with adorable babies this year.  Some of whom were celebrating their first birthdays!  With their first tastes of CAKE!!

 I really love it when I ask parents if they want to include a cake smash with their first birthday portrait sessions.  Because what is cuter than a baby digging into cake?

 Maybe twins digging into cake?  Or one twin digging into cake and one totally freaked out about frosting touching him!

 Every baby is different.  Some dig right in!

 And some are quite skeptical and don't give it a try.

 Most babies, even if they don't taste it, will get their hands and feet into it!

 And three babies and a cake....adorable!

 I love when they are all smiles!

Or when mom and dad join in on the fun.  After all, when you give a baby a whole cake, there is bound to be a bit left over to share...maybe even with your photographer!  :)

Happiest baby on the Block | Chagrin Falls, OH Baby Photographer

This little girly girl was napping when I came to her house and despite being woken up from her little snooze, she was all smiles!

Having fun with mommy and daddy definitely brought a smile to her face.

She was making all kinds of cute faces actually.  I love to capture those and put them in a storyboard.  I know I never wanted to miss one cute expression so this way they are in a little collage so you can see them all at once!

Sweet Baby Girl | Chagrin Falls Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet baby girl and her family recently.  Isn't she gorgeous against the gold rosette background?  So feminine without all of the pink!

As was her almost two year old sister, although she wasn't quite interested in being photographed that day. (What 2 yr old is really?)  Look at those lovely eyelashes.

I loved the teal and chocolate set-up so we tried not once, but twice to get a picture of this beautiful babe in this adorable hat.  The second time she was just sleepy enough to make herself comfortable.

And of course we got mom and dad in front of the camera too, with their beautiful baby girls.  (Two is still a baby right?  I have a two year old and he will always be my baby. ♥ )
