Surprise Military Homecoming – Footsteps Photography Mildenhall
A surprise military homecoming photo session for my good friend Jennifer of J Butterfield Photography. A few of her images are mixed into the video (at the end) before she joined the rest of the family and went in front of the camera.
Its always exciting when I have the pleasure of photographing a homecoming and this one was a little different than others. This one took place at their home. Mom and I plotted and planned out the return of the kids with their dad who had been away for far too long. They knew he would be back soon but had no idea when. So after school I arrived at their house got all set up and dad walked out of his hiding spot to greet his kids who were busy playing out in the garden. It took a few moments but once the little guy caught sight of his daddy he clung on tight and did not let go the whole time. You can tell mom is glad to have her man back and get some help with the kids as well. Welcome back Lt. Col Butterfield.
Sit back and watch their reuniting story

Sesame Street Smash Cake Session – Footsteps Photography, Child Photographer near RAF Mildenhall
Zack Crider was in the studio for his first birthday smash cake session and he rocked it! I’ve had the pleasure of documenting this little guy’s first year of life starting with his newborn session on the Harley Davidson, onto his six month session and now, his smash cake party.


I think it’s safe to say that Zack’s mom loves plaid as he’s had some variation of it for most session. I can’t say I blame her though; he’s looks absolutely adorable!



I am lucky to work with some really talented vendors who collaborate with me in creating one-of-a-kind sessions for my clients. Zack loves Sesame Street so we made sure to play up the theme. The bright and colorful cake is by Cake, Love, Crossbones. Zack’s Sesame Street apparel is by Souder’s Kreations. And the hand painted backdrop is a custom Footsteps Photography prop that I made. All the pieces came together to make a bright and kid-friendly set!





Zack took a liking to the dots on the cake and tried to eat them all! We ended up taking them off so he could really dig into his cake.



I love this comment by Zack’s mom: “He made friends with the hat, but just for a short time.”




Happy first birthday, Zack! It’s been such a pleasure to watch you grow over this past year.

Lovely Lilac Newborn Session – Footsteps Photography, Newborn Photographer near RAF Mildenhall
These two beauties looked angelic against the cherry blossom backdrop. The Hollinger girls are gorgeous!



Not to be outdone by her big sister, Heidi gave us lots of great personality throughout her newborn shoot.

This American flag was brought by her parents and had also been used at for her sister’s newborn photos. What a fun family tradition!



Brand new and taking it all in. Heidi was so alert!




Finally, this little mermaid got sleepy just as we placed her on this beautiful purple floral blanket from her nursery. Precious!

6 month old Baby Boy Photography Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall & Lakenheath
6 months is such a fun age to photograph.  Welcome Lucas to our studio for the Grow With Me session plan.  He was a little shy at the beginning and not sure of the fuzzy rug texture, and then he got warmed up and gave me a few nice smiles. I was able to try out a new urban look background, along with various accessories and props in the studio to give the parents something unique and special.   He looks absolutely adorable in his little overalls!  Enjoy the portraits.

Vintage 7-Up Grow With Me Session – Footsteps Photography, Child Photographer near RAF Mildenhall
There must be something in the water here because lately, all my baby boy clients have had long, dreamy lashes. Lucas was no exception; just look at this gorgeous little 6-month old.

After seeing this vintage 7-up crate in another session, Lucas’ dad requested we use it in at least one shot.

Lucas has just discovered his feet (as you may have noticed in the first picture). I still haven’t gotten over those beautiful eyes; watch out world, this little guy is going to be a stunner!




Lucas is just learning to sit up on his own so this bucket gave him just enough support that he could have a little independence. Looks like he enjoyed it!



And to round it all out, here’s Lucas with his most prized possession – a little blue car. What a handsome fella!
