One Year Photos

Last week we had Olivia's one-year photos taken by my friend, and very talented photographer, Sara Buonassi. Check out her website (http://www.buonassi.com/) if you're local and want some photos done!

Sara was so accommodating to my whims and my mess. I'd seen some really cute first-birthday photos on Pinterest. I really wanted to do a cake smash. Thanks for seeing my vision!

So, I bought a huge cupcake bunt pan and made a white cake. I topped it with pink cherry frosting to go with her pink tutu and pink hair bow. I used the same cake stand I used for her birthday party, but this time I glued pink and white daisies on grosgrain ribbon and wrapped that around the edge.

I just love the way they turned out!

Thanks again, Sara, for putting up with my mess (and what a mess it was!) to create some really cute cake smash birthday pictures for us.

Thanks again, Sara! I think they're beautiful!

Fall Photo Shoot

Happy Fall!

Although I hear there are snowflakes nearby. Winter is coming way too soon.

To celebrate the last of fall, I wanted to share some of the pictures from our fall photo shoot a few weeks ago. I am really pleased with the way they turned out.

The photographer spent a ton of time with us and allowed us multiple outfit changes. That was really important to me because I love dressing my little doll.

The photo shoot was not uneventful, but you can't tell from the pictures! It started out great. A little cool, but not terrible. But then the wind started to pick up and the props kept falling over. To top it all off, Olivia ate a leaf. I thought I got it away from her in time, but no. Her little tummy rejected it... all over her daddy.

Despite that, I'm really glad we finally have some professional photos of Olivia and our little family.

Here are just a few of my favorites!
