Babies First Birthday Cake Sessions

These Birthday Sessions are usually photographed around the 11 month mark. Some parents like to use these portraits on the invitations for the Birthday Party. The session usually lasts about 30 minutes or so. The child gets practice in for the real Birthday cake and you get great images. You can bring a hat if you so desire. Also if you have a particular cake that you want in the portraits you would need to provide that. But if a generic cake is ok I will gladly provide one that is bakery made.














This is one of the little boys that I had the opportunity to photograph recently. We did a First Birthday Cake Session. He is a doll and was so cute playing in his cake. I sure hope he had a great Birthday Emily. Let me know if you guys need anything.

Boudoir Photography










































I had the chance to photograph a fellow Navy Wife. These were Boudoir portraits for her deployed husband. It has been an honor to work with so many ladies who are confident enough to book a boudoir session.

Scotland
These are just a few of the photos that I took while we vacationed in Scotland. We took 2 weeks to tour the country during our PCS from NAS Corpus Christi TX to NOB in Norfolk VA.
It was absolutely beautiful and the photos do not do the country justice. There is so much to see and do and we only got to see a small portion of it. We flew into London Heathrow and then drove up to Perthshire. We were just down the road from Duchally Farm in a condo at Duchally Hotel in Glen Eagle. The Doves are residents of the Condo. We did get the 10 day Explorer Pass, and it is well worth the money! We also spent a day in Isle of Skye, went down to Edinburgh, visited the castle and wondered the town. Visit http://www.edinburghcastle.gov.uk/ to buy admission tickets. Several days we went through the Glenco Mountains where we saw MANY deer including the one in the photos. We visited Queens View, many lochs such as Loch Tay, Earn, Leven and the Famous Loch Ness just to name a few. Our middle one swears he saw Nessie :D.
Went up to Fort George etc...
We did a seperate Pass that I believe included, Blair Castle, Glamis Castle, Blair Atholl Distillery another Distillery and some where else. Again worth the money.
We did some hiking, so several Waterfalls BIG and small. Dochart Falls was one of them. We were able to see our first star fish in nature up close. We did see some when we went to Alaska last year but we were on a boat. The one we saw here must have been dying as it was on the shore. BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. Can't say it enough.
I have to go back and see all of the things that we didn't have time for. I hope it is sooner rather than later :D

First Birthday Sessions


I have photographed a couple of First Birthday Sessions recently and wanted to update with a couple of the photos.

This is a service that I am now offering and would love to photograph some girls too. The babies seemed to really enjoy playing in the cakes.
