Mobley Family Christmas Mini Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall

After visiting my booth at the RAF Lakenheath Holiday Bazaar, the Mobley family booked a Christmas Mini Session. Between the rain, conflicting schedules and a few location changes, just getting to the shoot had it’s fair share of challenges. Luckily, Katie and Ryan were good sports about it and now have some priceless family photos to show for it.

The Ely Cathedral is a popular site for many of my clients and with the changing of the season, the fall leaves provided a colorful backdrop against the medieval architecture. I love bright, bold colors in my photography and Katie did an impeccable job of coordinating everyone’s outfits to pop against the golden foliage. I was in love with her boots and scarf as well. What a fashionable mom!

This will be Win’s first Christmas so we had to get some shots of him on this festive sleigh. Also, how perfect are those red suspenders?!

He loves his mommy snuggles.

The Mobley’s are just a naturally handsome family and their love for one another definitely translates through the lens.

Everyone knows hats belong in your mouth, not on your head!

The sun finally made an appearance at the end of our session providing the magic light every photographer hopes for. If you look closely, you’ll see a few lingering raindrops yet Katie’s hair still looks perfect while Win and Ryan are all smiles! Despite the initial challenges, we had a great time at this Christmas Mini Session. I trust the Mobley’s will enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Zoey Jane Bump and Bundle Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Lakenheath & Mildenhall

WOW, its been a busy October with lots of cute little babies born, family sessions and Christmas mini sessions taken place that I did not get to blog much during the month. Take a look at this session from this summer I realized that was never blogged, so take a look at adorable Zoey Jane and her mommy and daddy before she was born. Anytime one of my babies move back to the states I always miss seeing them at their grow with me and smash cake sessions.  It amazing much they grow and change in that first year.

Maternity and Newborn Session Pretty in Purple- Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall

Wanting to provide the best and most unique experience for my clients, I’m always working on new props and accessories. I designed and sewed these versatile maternity gowns and was anxious to see how they’d look on camera. When I put out a call for a maternity model, Joanne answered at 38 weeks pregnant! We met on the last warm day of the year and the sunset was absolutely stunning, just like this beautiful mama.

I love that the gown can be worn open or closed, depending on your preference. Additional dresses are not far from finished production and will be available for maternity shoots with Footsteps Photography. I’ll be adding lots of fun colors as well. Isn’t Joanne a natural?!

The purple flower headband made an appearance on both mama and baby – it’s the little details that really make these photos so special.

Shortly after her maternity session, Joanne came back to see me with her husband, Andy and their new baby girl, Sophia! Joanne had been referred to me by her fellow moms from the Village Class. I do offer referral incentives so be sure to share Footsteps Photography with all your family and friends to receive a discount on your next session!

After seeing how photogenic her mom was, it came as no surprise that Sophia was a natural in front of the camera as well. She even stuck out her tongue for us!

This little lace headband and the name banner were purchased on Etsy. Joanne brought all sorts of beautiful props and I especially loved that the banner had been used at Sophia’s baby shower.

The cream color is a dream to work with and photographs so beautifully with the softness and perfection of babies natural skin tone. Its a favorite of mine to use during sessions.

For the last few shots of the session, we used the always popular cherry blossom background. The vintage pram is a studio prop and we personalized it by this handmade baby blanket Joanne used as a child.

Thank you, Joanne and Andy, for allowing me to capture these stunning images of your sweet family!

Military Styled Newborn Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall

Chelsey and Jared are the lucky parents of this gorgeous little girl; Miss Addelyn Williams, or Addy for short.

Chelsey brought a suitcase full of props to the session. With a mama this beautiful and stylish, Addy is in good hands!

Jared is a pilot and an avid hunter (which you’ll see in a bit). I think it’s safe to say this little girl already has Daddy wrapped around her little finger!

Addy was so alert and interested in all the things going on around her. 

Chelsey loves the rustic, shabby chic look so we incorporated a lot of lace and dusty pink in this shoot along with some gorgeous detailed headbands.

The Williams’ are incredibly proud of their country and heritage so we had to capture some shots of Addy in her daddy’s uniforms.

I mentioned that Jared is an avid hunter and Chelsey had brought a suitcase full of props. Little did I know, they had also brought along their beautiful black lab for an outdoor themed photo! I’d never before styled a newborn with decoys and a duck call and thought this was such a fun and personalized idea. I really do have the most fun clients!

The Williams’ squeezed in this shoot just a week after Addy was born and days before they left back to the states for Jared’s job. And yes, the beautiful lab came with them! Thank you for a great time, Williams family, and safe travels!

Molly-Joana Smalley Smash Cake Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall

You may remember Molly-Joana (and her amazing cake) from her original sneak preview post. Her mom is the talent behind Cakes by Donata and I’m STILL drooling over her yummy creation.  {be sure to scroll through to the video at the end}

It’s plain to see this little gal is very loved by her mom and dad.

All her expressions were fantastic – Molly Joana is a natural in front of the lens!

Next, it was time to break out the balloons and cake. Molly-Joana went absolutely crazy when the balloons came out and we actually had to put them away because she got so distracted. This was a smash cake session, after all! Gotta have those great messy shots.

Molly-Joana went all out digging into the cake with both her hands and her feet. I don’t think this girl ever stops smiling; she really must be the happiest munchkin I’ve ever seen!

With her mom being such an incredible cake artist, I thought the pastry background was the perfect choice for Mollie’s session. And judging by the demolition job she performed, I think it’s safe to say she enjoyed herself immensely!

Daddy got to join in the action at the very end. It’s a toss up for who ate the most cake and had the most fun between these two.

Happy first birthday, Miss Molly! And a standing ovation for your cake smashing abilities!
