How adorable is Ms. Emmi.  I photographed her as a newborn and loved her session so much, so when her momma reached out to me to book a 1 year session with a cake smash at my Belvidere IL studio I was beyond excited.  I love return clients, it is such a wonderful feeling and honor to get to capture multiple milestones for families. What made it even more exciting for me is the Luau themed cake smash mom wanted for Emmi's 1 year photos. Such a fun theme. 

All the excitement and fun did not end with planning the session. During the session, we had loads of fun.  I loved seeing how much she has grown and her personality was shining through the entire session.  This girl is so adorable and full of personality.  All of her expressions just kept me smiling the entire time.  She loved the cake smash part of the session and the bath after as well. I mean, foot in the cake, splashing the whole 9.  

Check out some of my and her mom's favorites from the session.  These colors are so much fun.
