There is something so special about the second bab There is something so special about the second baby.

You’re not just becoming parents…
You’re growing a legacy.

Watching families come back through my studio doors with another little one on the way is never “just another session” to me. It’s trust. It’s history. It’s watching your story unfold in chapters.

And let’s be honest… this couple makes really adorable babies.

I cannot wait to meet baby number two and see who they look like.

If you’ve been here before and you’re expecting again, you already know how this works — reach out early. My calendar fills faster for returning families, and I would love to hold space for your next chapter too.
They weren’t taking a bath. There was no water. N They weren’t taking a bath.

There was no water.
No bubbles.
No rush.

Just two babies.
Sitting safely.
Feeling each other close.

This is why I love controlled studio work.

You don’t need noise to create magic.
You just need intention.

Twins are a whole different kind of story —
and capturing their bond this early?
That’s something parents will treasure forever.

This is why I include the splash after the smash. This is why I include the splash after the smash.

Because frosting in the eyelashes is cute…
but the giggles in warm water? That’s magic.

Most babies are DONE after cake.
Sticky. Overstimulated. Ready for a reset.

And then we bring out the tub.

Suddenly they’re calm. Splashing. Smiling again.
And parents always say the bath photos end up being their favorites.

The cake smash is fun.
The splash is where the personality shines.

If you’re planning a first birthday — don’t skip this part.
(It’s all included in my full milestone experience, cake and splash included so you don’t have to plan a thing.)

Would your baby love the cake part more or the bath? 👇🏼
Unpopular opinion: cake smash sessions don’t have Unpopular opinion: cake smash sessions don’t have to be messy to be successful.

Some babies:
• Poke it once
• Cry
• Sit and stare
• Eat only the icing
• Refuse to touch it

And guess what? It’s STILL adorable.

I follow your baby’s lead. We never force it. Sometimes the magic is in the tiny reactions, not the frosting explosion.

Thinking about a first birthday session? I wrote a full guide on what to expect (and how to prepare) on the blog. Comment “CAKE” and I’ll send it to you 🎂

So many mamas tell me they’re nervous about matern So many mamas tell me they’re nervous about maternity photos.

So. Many. 

They think they need:
• To know how to pose
• To feel “glowy” or “glamorous”

You don’t.

I have over 80 studio gowns designed to flatter growing bodies. I pose you. I light you. I guide every hand placement.  You just show up.

And then you see yourself the way your family already does.

If you’re waiting to “feel ready,” this is your sign.

You show up.

If a prop isn’t safe, it doesn’t make it into my studio — period.

As a former NICU nurse, I’m extremely selective about what I use and how I use it.
