Smash the Cake Session with Dustin and Nicole’s Son

Jason Angelini — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 00:58:02 +0000

First birthdays are really special milestones. One minute you are holding a tiny fragile newborn in your arms and then they just sit up, scoot off your lap, and start running around every where! Jason photographed Nicole’s maternity session and he has tried to slow down time for Nicole and Dustin just a little this past year by capturing their son when he was a newborn and again at 6 months. Their little boy turned one just a few days before his first birthday session and Jason was happy to see their family again! Thank you to Nicole, Dustin, and their little boy for letting us be a part of your son’s first year. Happy first birthday!

1 Year Portrait Session with Tiffany and Tom’s Daughter

We love Tiffany and Tom’s family! Jason has photographed their son’s first year and now their daughter has turned one. Jason has been able to capture memories of her first year as well. She was so sweet as a newborn:

and she had the most adorable happy smiles at 6 months:

She was running all around at 1 year and it was fun to see her showing off her personality! Her big brother was also super cute as always. They are an amazing family and we love it every time we get to see them! The session ended with cupcake smashing to celebrate one year. Tiffany warned us the her daughter wasn’t a fan of smashing her cake at her birthday party so we were interested to see what she would do with her cupcake. When they put it in front of her she seemed curious and almost intrigued but completely grossed out by the feel of the frosting on her hands. She didn’t seem to mind sticking her feet into it though! And there is still something really adorable about a little crying face all covered in frosting.

Thanks for another great session with your beautiful family Tiffany and Tom!

Kalyn and Daniel’s Son Turns One!

It is such a blessing to be part of a couple’s life as they go from being engaged to getting married to becoming parents. We have been able to share in Kalyn and Daniel’s special moments for several years now. Jason first photographed their engagement session and then their wedding in 2008. We were so happy to hear that they expecting a couple years later and Jason photographed Kalyn’s beautiful maternity session. They brought their son over for his adorable 6 month session and now he is one year old and Jason photographed his 1 year session! Kalyn and Daniel are terrific people and terrific parents. We are so grateful to them for allowing us to capture these wonderful memories and milestones as the years go on. Happy 1st Birthday to Kalyn and Daniel’s son!

Birthdays for Big Sister and Little Brother

Dad hasn’t seen Allison, James, and their two kids since their son’s newborn session last year. He was excited for them to come over again! Their son just turned one and their daughter turned 4. Their birthdays are only a few days apart! Mom was sad that she didn’t get to see everyone and catch up but she says we’ll have to plan a play date soon. Happy birthday to big sister and little brother!

Squish, Smash, and Obliterate the Cake!

First birthdays are bittersweet days for parents. It is exciting to see their baby grow, but so much changes in the first year and it is hard to believe that just one year before the toddler now running around, saying a few words, and getting into everything was curled up in their arms as a tiny newborn. Dad has photographed Carly and Will’s daughter through her first year, starting with a newborn session, then 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months. Each time she had changed so much, had reached new milestones, and was doing new things. This week she will turn one and Carly and Will brought her over for her one year session. She had some fun eating leaves and grass outside which should have shown everyone how hungry she was! When she sat in front of her birthday cake she not only smashed it, she dove in face first! She grabbed handfuls and squished, smashed, and obliterated that cake! Dad and mom said that she might not have been the messiest cake smasher but she sure did the best job of getting to all of the cake!

Happy first birthday to a sweet little girl who has two truly wonderful and loving parents. Thank you for having us capture these special memories!

Kristen’s Son Smashes His Cake

Jason Angelini — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 06:23:22 +0000

Dad first met Kristen when he photographed her maternity session and he was able to meet her son when he was just a few weeks old for his newborn session. They are such a generous family and they donated so much food for the hungry that they were one of the winners for our fall session canned food drive auction. Time goes by so fast when babies are small and Kristen brought her little boy over last week for his one year session! He showed off some dance moves and played with bubbles and smashed up his cake. We are so happy we have met this terrific family! They have such good hearts and are so kind and lots of fun to be around! Happy 1st Birthday!

1 Year Smash the Cake: Amber and Wayne’s Daughter

Jason Angelini — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 23:20:51 +0000

Last year, just before Christmas, Amber and Wayne brought their newborn daughter over for a session:

It was wonderful to see them again for their little girl’s first birthday session! Though she wouldn’t wear the Santa hat, she looked beautiful in her Santa style dress and just as cute in her personalized bloomers when she sat down to smash a big cupcake! She was all smiles and fun until her hands got messy. She kept looking at her frosting covered hands and then fussing and reaching for her mama. So sweet! Happy first birthday, and thank you for letting us be there to capture some memories during your first year.

Smash the Cupcake!

Weslie and Jeremy are wonderful people and have a beautiful family. Their family represents two of mom and dad’s favorite things about what we do. First we get to meet awesome people that become friends too. Second we are there to capture memories for families as they grow and years go on. It is an amazing thing to be a part of!

We first met Weslie and Jeremy to photograph their daughter’s newborn session and we got to watch her grow during her first year. We were so happy for them when they had their son! They brought him over for pictures when he was a little baby:

and again when he was a few months older:

and now little brother is one year old! We had so much fun when they came over. We got to catch up and play, and we got some fun pictures as little brother smashed his birthday cupcake too! We are excited to see what the future has in store for this wonderful family. We can’t wait until the next time we get to see them!
