They are pretty much going to be forced to be best friends, because her mom is one of my best friends.  I was so excited to get to take pictures of sweet Lexi.  Her mom, my friend Laura, pretty much had no choice.  “Hey Laura…once my backdrop stand arrives, I’m going to come take pictures of Lexi smashing into her first birthday cake.  Okay?  Great.  See you Monday.” That’s pretty much how it went down.  First, we took some sweet pictures of her, pre-cake smash.

Then it was time to dig in!  These pictures were so fun.  Lexi totally went for it and loved every single thing about her cake!

This is just a little sampling of the cute pictures I got.  I’ve never seen a one year old dig into a cake quite like Lexi!  When it was all over, she literally had cake from head to toe.  I don’t know if her little bloomers will ever be the same!  Thanks again, Laura, for lending me your living room floor and your baby girl!  You know I love you!

I had my first newborn shoot today!  I will totally admit that I was nervous about this.  It’s just so different from families or toddlers!  Luckily, I had someone willing to let me practice.  This is the 3 week old grandson of one of Logan’s fabulous teachers.  He was so precious!  Made me miss the baby stage just a bit.  It took us awhile to get him to sleep, so I got some good awake shots and some sweet sleepy pictures.   These are just the first few I’ve edited.  I am sure I will find more cute ones as I go through them, but I am so impatient and want to get these up for the family to see!
