Lil' Cupcake - Foster Family Session

I was so excited to shoot the Fosters and their new addition 

JT (well, new addition 4 months ago) in Canton. 

Two girlfriends and I lived in Canton for a year and loved it! 

Living there was quite eventful and so was our shoot. 

Some poor guy running tripped and completely wiped out right in front of us. 

Think his pride was hurt way more than his scraped knees and we felt awful for him. 

Then we noticed a huge billow of black smoke coming from the exact location that we had shot our first set of images (the first 8 or so images below). Tons of firetrucks responded.

Still not sure where it was from exactly. 

Could have been a apartment, the restaurant on the water or even a boat...

  Google and the news websites were of no help. 

With all that excitement this family remained unfazed and ready for their close up. 

 How cute is this family? JT's expression is my favorite.

love this one.  beautiful momma and baby. 

This picture was a feat because JT is not a huge fan of bending at the waist. 

Would much rather stand (with mom and dad's help) than sit. 

hey buddy :)

It was a really beautiful sunny day.  The light reflecting off the water was incredibly bright but definitely worked in our favor. Love this shot. 

This one was taken in Canton Square. 
Great bars and restaurants all in one convenient location.

Thanks Fosters! 

Loved spending the day with you and sweet JT. 

SWEET TRICK OR TREATS!

Lil' Cupcakes - Dobry Family Session

Last year our friends moved into a new home and won the neighbor lottery with The Dobrys. 

Which means we get to hang out with them too. Winning. 

Momma is incredibly talented and owns an adorable business called Leidi Bird Designs. 

She makes gorgeous bags and accessories. Make sure you check out her site. 

It took us forever to find a date that we were all available and by that time we were pretty sure (since it was almost fall) that the girls wouldn't be able to wear the dresses she had made them in the summer.  

But low and behold we got an 80 degree day in October (turns out we got a few). 

Here's the whole family

just the girls...

Lil' Cupcake - Charlie's Two!!!

Charlie's TWO! Well, almost. He will be two early next month and the family is headed to DisneyWorld to celebrate. Charlie's mom and dad have been our neighbors in Baltimore for over 4 years. 

Hard to believe that it was two years ago that their little man was born. 

We headed over to Chapel Hills Farm & Nursery in Perry Hall. 

It was chocked full of all kinds of stuff to see and Charlie wanted to see all of it...twice. 

First, up close and personal with some goats.

Quick stop at a pirate ship with mom and dad.

check out those eyelashes and lips! eat your hearts out.

found you! 

hay!

trying his hand as a bus driver...

the koi in this pond were no joke. ginormous i tell you!

one of my favorites. quick rest in some awesome mums and we almost lost him. 

favorite of the day :) hi charlie.

On two separate occasions Charlie sat down and started picking up rocks, smelling them and then throwing them back. Mom and Dad took a sniff to try and figure out the intrigue. Only Charlie's nose knows. ;)

not too stoked to leave all the fun 

Thanks so much you guys! Had a great time :)

Tell Mickey I said hi, Charlie!

STAY SWEET PUMPKINS!
