Cake smashing-  it can be pretty serious business!

And this handsome little guy was all business about his cake!  Cake is for eating… and eating was more than OK!  Smashing on the other hand, well that’s just ridiculousness!

Meet James!  He and Linc are buds!  We’ve known James since he was teeny tiny and so this session was extra special for us!

It had been a few weeks since we last saw our friend James but it never fails to blow my mind just how much these little guys can change and grow in that short time span!  James walked in (walked being the key word) and took over like he just owned this shoot!  Which is did… in more ways than one 😉

He had some pretty fun balloons that the boys were just fascinated with and he had an awesome little adirondack chair!  I mean this little guy was ready to rock this smash GQ style!

Thanks for coming to play and smash some cake Mr. James!  Happy Birthday (belated) little man!  Your laid back personality and serious curiosity light up the room!

 

She is pretty bubbly and punk rock rebel at the same time!

She smiles all the time except when she’s doing her rocker pose;  and her laugh is pretty infectious.

We met at the narrows which happened to be completely PACKED that evening.  Seriously, it was the most crowded I have ever seen it.  The weather was amazing.  It was that first day where there was a nice cool breeze amidst the 90 degree weather;  and there was absolutely no humidity!

It was pretty much the perfect night, and Shelby and I chatted about every topic imaginable as we searched for the perfect spot for her portraits.

We settled in pretty far down the trails and Shelby just rocked it out!  She is fearless!

Here are some of my favorite shots from our session:

It’s been a while!  Like a long while!

We’ve been a busy bunch over here and we just returned from vacation.  I can’t believe I’m actually saying that… vacation!  We did it! We hoped on a flight and traveled away from the house… with the wee one and got away for a few days!

Tuck and I have been working really hard lately and we were excited to visit with some family and some friends;  excited to take a breather and just relax!  

And then we got off the plane and realized… relax SMELAX!  We have a toddler…. there IS no relaxing!  At least not for a while while our wee one enjoys doing wind sprints every where we go and traveling up and down every stair, step, mountain, hill possible.

But we did have a GREAT time and we did get to do some really wonderful things:  like visiting Hogwarts at Universal.  If you know me… you know I’m a slightly obsessed Harry Potter fanatic (and it was a dream come true!)

Here are some peeks at our vacation life through our insta-grams (or at least what was saved after some phones sadly were lost to the Hulk,)

 

Lot’s and lot’s of photography posts coming your way this week!

Tomorrow:  Senior portrait fun!

Later this week:  Cake Smash,  A sweet little Newborn, and another Cake Smash!

This has been one of the busiest times  (this summer) of my photography career so far!  I have been so incredible blessed to have amazing clients and amazing friends who have supported me and trusted me and allowed me to be a part of their lives!

Feeling very grateful and in awe!
