BABY JOE CAKE SMASH

I mentioned in yesterdays engagement blog that we had back to back shoots at Knox Farm State Park. Well, here is the first shoot with baby Joe and his first birthday cake smash!

Everything about this little guy is adorable. From that outfit, to that face covered in green frosting. Baby Joe was such a joy to photograph. His cake had an outdoor theme, with a chocolate dirt road for his race cars to go on. Those cars were the kicker for baby Joe to go for the cake. After he had a taste and got used to the frosting, he became more interested in the cake. And let me just say, it tasted amazing. We all had a little bite!

Now it was time to stand and explore a little. You never know what kids are going to do, especially when a bunch of grown adults are making fools of themselves to get laughs. Baby Joe stood up and gave us this great pose! Look how cute he is with that little hat! So much fun!

CAKE SMASH WITH MAKS!

I could not resist posting this image first from Maks first birthday cake smash at Neal Urban Studio! Would you look at that face!

Maks was such a pleasure to have back in the studio again. He started off great. He was super happy and all smiles. When we brought the cake in, he really wasn't sure about it. He was too distracted with the props we had. We started with a camping style theme. To get his attention, we took out the set props to see if he would go for the cake. 

Maks had a few bites of the cake, but still wasn't too sure about it. He started to crawl and bam! Knee right in the cake haha. We took a little time out. The mom said, "Let's go one more time!"! A few more bites and then this! You could tell he was getting fussy and ready for a nap. But how could we not take a few with the pouty face! 

This is just too cute! I love it!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Happy 4th of July from Baby Ray! Baby Ray was back in Neal Urban Studio last week for his first birthday photos!

We did Ray's newborn photos last year. His great grandfather was in the military, so we incorporated the flag that was given to the family when he passed. We thought we would keep with the tradition and it was perfect timing for 4th of July!

We did this part of the portraits before we brought in the cake. Ray loves to play catch. Now, I know you are thinking, he's only 1. Well, he had such a great arm already. He could throw pretty far and with some force. The baseball theme fit perfectly into our scene. I mean, baseball is an All-American sport. We added the baseball glove and Ray had the hat! 

Look at those baby blues too! What a cutie! Happy 4th of July! Happy Birthday America! We hope everyone had a safe and fun weekend/holiday!
