SMILE! It’s mini session time!
Elijah wasn’t thrilled during his cake smash session (which happens more than you would think). You can get a quick look at his cake smash session HERE. But he was all big boy smiles for his mini session with his family. You can tell that he loves his daddy and that daddy can always make him laugh and smile.
It is kind of funny because during his cake smash session his mommy said “if daddy was here he would be smiling and having fun. I guess moms are always right.
In this photo with Elijah and his mommy, his daddy was right next to me getting his to smile and look at the camera. We were making funny sounds, his daddy was making silly faces and low and behold…. we got the shot. Thanks for your help daddy! And for the family portrait, I am the one who had to make the embarrassing sounds and silly faces. I got the smile. Then I got the shot!
With the first birthday packages, we are able to get so many great shots with many options to be able to choose from. Sometimes it can be really hard to choose. The 1st birthday collection includes a cake smash session as well as a mini session. The mini session can be used with the birthday baby only or the whole family. I do encourage the whole family to participate because I believe in the value of having family photos as a child grows up.
The location of this family session was at the Raulston Arboretum, in Raleigh. It allows for such a beautiful and natural setting for family portraits. Depending on the time of year there can be some beautiful flowers at this location as well.
