Delaware, Ohio Cake Smash Photographer: Little Koralay's First Birthday!

Today, I had the pleasure of taking photos of precious little Koralay for her first birthday! Her mommy, Miss D, is my son's date-night babysitter and he just adores her. What would we do without her?? :) So, I was very excited when she asked me to take photos of her daughter! It was fun to get to meet her little one. Oh- I just love the pink and purple! Her mommy had her all dressed up for her session. It took her a little while to warm up to me, but then she gave us some great smiles! Enjoy the photos and the cake smash!


Love this photo of mommy and daughter!




The birthday girl!! She loved sitting in her princess chair. That's when she really started showing off for me! Patty-cake, peekaboo, and "so big"!



Oh... my... gosh... she just loved Mr. Moosey, which we had laying around the house. So adorable, didn't know he'd become a prop in our session!



Beautiful Christmas dress!



Her mommy made this awesome sign for her!



Crack me up!! Love her toothy smile!





Time for the smash!!

Ohhh, my!  Such a mess!  Yet hardly a bite went into her mouth! :)

Hehehe! :)

And one more in black and white! I love how both images turned out - I couldn't choose! :)

Delaware, Ohio First Year Photographer: Marilyn's Cake Smash!

This morning, I had a cake smash session with little Marilyn, and her parents Sarah and Daniel. You may remember Sarah and Daniel from a few years back... I photographed their wedding at Bowling Green on June 25, 2011.  And, their little Marilyn came as the best anniversary gift ever last year, on June 25, 2013.  So happy anniversary and happy birthday!

They are the sweetest couple!  They live in Texas and flew to Cleveland to see family for Marilyn's first birthday party this coming weekend.  I feel so honored that they made it a priority to come down to Delaware to see me for her one year/cake smash photos!  It was great to see you guys again and to see how your little family has grown!  I love getting to photograph former wedding clients' new families.  :)

Enjoy Marilyn's "before" and "after" cake smash photos!

Marilyn's Mommy sure picks out cute outfits and accessories!  (And, maybe her Daddy helped, too...?)  :)

My son clearly had awesome toys that were a big temptation.  I think the rings are her favorite toys!

All hail to the birthday princess!

I just LOVE this photo.  Daniel picked the pretty background from my collection.  I love how the color looks with her outfit!

Time for some cake...

Just a little taste...

So funny! :)  Silly girl didn't like the taste of the cake or icing!

This is her, "I've had about enough of this!" face! :)

Delaware, Ohio Children's Photographer: Avery's Cupcake Smash!

Today, I got to have my little friend Avery debut Harrington Photography's newest venture - cake smashes! She just turned one on December 21st and her mommy Beth (whom I work with at C-State) volunteered her to be my guinea pig! :) I'm so glad she did! I think the pictures turned out great, Avery enjoyed it, and I got to try out my new backdrops, stand, and flooring. What do you think?? I built the backdrop stand myself!

Cake smashes begin in 2014.  All sessions include one year portraits to start and then cake-smashing fun!  You provide the cake or cupcake and outfit, I provide the background, flooring, candle, clean-up, and great memories!  Enjoy Avery's cake smash from start to finish!

I love, love, love her handmade outfit and tutu!  When I saw this in Avery's birthday photos on FB, I knew she HAD to wear it for her one year photos with me.

This one just melts my heart!




Now the fun begins...

Dig in!!  But, first she had to remove the candle! :)


Yummmmm!



Oh yeah!


What a mess!  :)





"Hey- back away from my cake, lady!"





Hahaha!  Sugar coma!

And, that does it, folks. :)


Time for a bath!

Hope you enjoyed the cake smash!
