It’s been a while since I have blogged a cake smash, so instead I picked a few of my favorites from some of my recent smashes. These are so fun to photograph!
This gorgeous family of 7 was out visiting Orange County from Scottsdale, AZ. So we planned on a season at the beach. As we were getting into our session I see the kids eyes all looking to their right. Low and behold it was Santa!!! walking up! He wasn’t there for us, but he came over and said hello and interacted with all the kids for a couple of minutes. I had my camera in hand so I did take a couple of shots…and I’m so glad I did. Check out the photo I got with Santa and the rest of their photos below!
Even though we took these photos in the summer, I feel like it officially kicked off my busy fall schedule. And this family was picture perfect!
There is nothing like the anticipation, excitement and nervousness of expecting your first baby! This couple was so sweet to work with and you can just tell they are going to make amazing parents.
