Fiesta Cake Smash Session | Footsteps Photography

Fiesta Cake Smash Session

Who doesn’t love a party? Today, we had a fiesta for Alexander’s First Cake Smash. The studio was colorful, vibrant and festive. I made sure everything was ready for the birthday boy’s arrival.

Baby Shark Always Wins

Alex’s Cake Smash Session was very special and honored his Mexican heritage. Mom brought a couple of outfits along with the cutest custom birthday hat! When it was time to begin our session, I noticed that Alex was a little shy in front of the camera. Since his mom mentioned he liked music, I turned to a song that hasn’t failed me yet. We sang and danced to the “Baby Shark” song and another favorite of his, “La Vaca Lola”. The background music put Alex in a great mood and brought out his gorgeous smile.

When it was time for dessert Alex’s eyes lit up. I captured the biggest grin when he saw his cake, provided by Sweet Dulces. Alex dug right into his cake without hesitation! Destruction never looked so cute.

Sunset on the Farm | Vacaville Maternity Session

I absolutely love shooting at this privately owned farm. The atmosphere is ideal for almost any occasion. Today, I had the pleasure of a shooting a maternity session for the Costello Family. Take a look at how this beautiful evening unfolded.

The Countdown Begins

Who doesn’t love sunset sessions? I spent the evening on the farm shooting the Costello’s first ever photo shoot. The combination of lush trees, wildflowers and sunlight complimented Linh and her red gown so beautifully. Linh and Jacob loved nature and a farm setting couldn’t be more perfect. The Costello’s were so much fun to work with. We managed to squeeze in some funny baby bump shots. After a quick dress swap, Linh chose a blue gown from my exclusive client wardrobe. It turned out to be symbolic since mom was expecting a baby boy. As our day came to an end, mom and dad had a chance to relax and cozy up by the lavender.

I can’t wait to meet baby Costello for his newborn session! Do you think he’ll look like mom or dad?

Downtown Winters at Dawn | Power’s Maternity Session

Downtown at Dawn

I met the Power’s Family in Winters just after dawn for a Maternity Session. The family opted for a morning session because Because of dad’s job and their daughter’s schedule. Morning sessions are great for little one’s with early bed times. Mom coordinated the outfits for the family so beautifully. She looked radiant in the white gown she selected from my client wardrobe. Miss A explored the carefully explored the bridge and enjoyed strolling through the tall grass.

Baby Powers

For a change of scenery, we moved to the downtown area of Winters. I love the texture and warmth of the old brick buildings. Miss A was super cooperative and happily posed for the camera. Mom and dad also got some sweet smiles from soon-to-be big sister. Overall, we had an wonderful morning session.

The Powers are expecting their baby any day now. Stay tuned for the newborn session!

Garden Maternity + Newborn Session | Vacaville Photography

With dad back from deployment and mom nearing her due date, now was the perfect time to shoot the Stacy’s Maternity Session. It’s hard to believe that this was the first maternity shoot for these parents. The Stacy’s were so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Mom looked elegant in the maternity gown from Miss Madison Photo Props. You could see the pregnancy glow as she stood by the roses. The garden was an ideal setting to capture the love that waited for little Ava.

Ava Makes her Debut

Shorty after the Stacy’s maternity session, Ava decided to make her big debut! Her newborn session was spring inspired and involved all things pastel and floral. I found a frill pettiskirt at cutecute.co.uk — the perfect accessory for a little princess. Keeping with the floral theme, I placed Ava on a knit blanket and surrounded her with pink peonies and petals. She looked absolutely precious!

As our session came to a close the Stacy’s announced that they were moving to Hawaii. There is nothing quite like settling into a new routine and having to move again. Military life can be hard but it does have its perks. Sometimes they involve tropical paradise!

Nintendo Newborn Session | Vacaville Photographer

The old school Nintendo System sure does bring back memories. The Frugia Family are big time gamers and wanted to share their love for all things nerdy by incorporating their favorite games into their daughter’s newborn session.

Gamer in Training

This was probably the coolest way to introduce Baby Maesyn to an 80’s classic and show off this family’s fun personality! Maesyn’s session was moved up 3 weeks because she decided to make her debut a little earlier than expected. She didn’t seem to mind as I positioned her sleepy head on the game console.

I took several shots of Maesyn in her pastel onesies and floral bows. The colors and tones were inspired by her newly decorated nursery. Next, I took a few family shots as well as some with dad in uniform. I was very careful while I positioned Baby Maeysn in dad’s uniform pocket. I especially love this image because it gives you an idea of how small she was during the shoot! She was curled up so comfortably and completely unbothered by my direction and camera clicks. She was so relaxed and slept during most of her session. As I wrapped up, Maesyn ended our shoot with the biggest smile. This session couldn’t have been more perfect!

Cake Smash for Mr.ONEderful | Vacaville Photographer

Turning one can be so exciting! I prepared for Avery’s Cake Smash Session by decorating the set with black, white and gold décor – all ready for Mr. ONEderful.

Dapper Birthday Boy

Before the big day, Avery’s mom scheduled his session several weeks in advance so his photos could be displayed at his party. (I highly recommend booking early since my calendar tends to fill up fast!) I began the session with a few family shots of mom, dad and Avery in their custom outfits. Their matching shirts coordinated so well with the theme. After a quick outfit change, Avery was looking dapper in his shorts, suspenders, bow tie and gold crown. He was apprehensive of his cake at first but he eventually helped himself to a handful of icing. At the end of our session Avery posed by his custom-made birthday board which marked all of his favorite things!
