New York City 1st Birthday It was such a joy to have Rosalia in my studio for her 1st birthday cake smash session. Her mom Jacqueline worked with me for a few years and it was so nice to see this little baby grow up. I am always nervous how these sessions will go but...
NYC Cake Smash Photoshoot Some clients are just so in love with photography it makes my job even easier. Mason’s mama is one of those dedicated clients.

NYC Cake Smash Photography It was a streak of not so happy babies until Olivia walked in. She was so happy and loved every part of her session. My assistant and I did not even need to use bribery such as song, tv shows or snacks to get her attention. We used a lilac romper...
Long Island Cake Smash Session I was so excited to finally meet Claudia after chatting with her mama leading up to her session.

NYC 1st Birthday Milk Bath My niece Harley was back in the studio to capture her 1st birthday milestone pictures. We planned for her to have a milk bath with flowers instead of a typical cake smash and it turned out so beautiful! We started the session with a gorgeous romper from Sew Whimsey on...
