It’s always fun to end the first birthday portrait session on a messy note! When your baby turns one they usually have their first taste of something sweet…. their first birthday cake! I just love capturing this little tradition in photographs! You just never know what type of reaction you are going to get! This sweetie just wasn’t quite sure what to make of this delicious cake made by Fratelli’s Pasty Shop (my favorite bakery!).
We met at Webb State Park in Weymouth, which borders Hingham. The weather was just perfect, very comfortable and sunny.
It was towards the end of the day, close to this little one’s bed time but she did just beautifully! Happy and curious is how I would describe her. Just a joy to photograph!
I love her Gaelic name, and and I must admit I had to search online for the meaning once I returned home. It’s very fitting for sweet little Niamh.
niamh “radiance, lustre, brightness.”
The pronunciation is different than what is suggested online. Rather than “nee + iv” or “neev”
Different parts of Ireland pronounce it differently. Niamh’s Daddy is from Cork. They pronounce it “nee-iv” (Thank you Stephanie for the correction!) I just love unique and special names!
Here is a sampling of a few of the favorites I have edited so far. We did do a cake smash outdoors, I may share a few from that as well.
Sometimes they just make my job so easy. This is the perfect example. Rosie was the perfect little model. I really think she enjoyed the whole experience today. A new spot to explore and such a sweet big sister! Her baby sister Celia was such a little peach! Such a happy little baby girl! Here is a little sneak peek for you! Enjoy!
Oh there is nothing better than photographing a newborn. I just adore them! Nothing as pure and sweet! Mia is no exception! I felt bad because this little lady wasn’t feeling quite her self. Once she was feeling a wee bit better we got some really beautiful shots. Her Mommy just adores her….and Mia is a very lucky little girl to be blessed with not just one, but two wonderful Mommy’s. Congrats to Pam and Karen. Your little lady is just precious. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to come into your home and capture these images for you.
I photographed this sweet little girl about a year and a half ago when she turned one. She now has a baby brother who is just as sweet as she is! I always love seeing how much children grow between sessions. I love this little girls personality. So many times I had to stop taking pictures because she had me laughing that much! I just adore photographing toddlers, they are becoming their own little person and it’s so much fun to watch!
Here are a few for now:
Sweet little Sebastian has got to be the cutest little boy ever. Those lashes, I just couldn’t stop commenting on how amazing they were!
Over two years ago I photographed Sebastian’s Mommy and Daddy’s wedding in Mystic CT on 7/7/7 (lucky 7’s!). I was beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to not only meet but photograph their darling little boy!
I arrived to their home and was so sad to hear that little S was under the weather…he had just woken from his nap with a fever and just wasn’t himself. We decided to go forward with the session and see how he does. I’m quite pleased with how the photographs come out.
Dad had mentioned that S is such a little ray of sunshine all the time…smiling all the time and such a happy little boy!
Introducing Margo and Tom’s sweet baby boy Avery! He was an absolute joy to photograph. So content. We stopped for a couple feedings and other than that he was a happy little guy! He is so beautiful, and what a head of hair on this one! WOW! He has more hair than my six year old son!
