1st Birthday Cake Smash! {Manhattan Beach Photographer}

I love watching a little one navigate their way through their first cake. They’re not quite sure what to do at first, why everyone’s starting at them, why they’re allowed to make a giant mess, and oh-my-goodness, what is that delicious sweet heavenly taste?!?!
SUGAR!!!!

Sometimes some kids take some time getting into cake, some dive right in. Some get all their limbs involved, hair too, and sometimes some kids just have no interest….and I love every.single.minute.

If you’re thinking about having a cake smash for your kiddo, I highly recommend it! If you don’t want to get a whole cake, some places (like my favorite Torrance Bakery) will create a mini cake, or just head out to the market and get a giant cupcake…it’s going to get destroyed anyway!

Brandon had an absolute blast with his cake in the park, he dove right in without any hesitation!

 

Max had an amazing Farmer’s Market themed first birthday party and was a bit apprehensive at first, but then demolished his cake!

The beautifully darker side of Anna {Los Angeles Portrait Photographer}

Anna is another model I photographed during Westi’s makeup portfolio shoot. Westi decided to go a little darker on Anna, and she looked amazing!

I love the contrast between the dark, mysterious makeup and the almost fairy-like forest we were in.

Too cool!

Featuring Westi’s Makeup Artistry {Santa Monica Portrait Photographer}

One of my favorite clients called asking me to photograph her portfolio featuring her makeup artistry. Of course I was happy to get out and shoot some beautiful models, in a beautiful setting and working with such a fabulous group of women!
