Kyle’s Smash the Cake Photo Session

Carrie — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 04:04:28 +0000

Wowzers!!!! I can’t believe that it has almost been a year since we welcomed Kyle into this world! Time does fly! With his 1st Birthday quickly approaching I could not wait to do a Smash the Cake photo session with him. I shot this session along with my friend and fellow photographer Ericka Thornes and we also had a “third shooter” – Erika’s little daughter Emery. Thank you Erika and Emery for such a wonderful time and all your help!!! It was a BLAST! Emery also had a good time eating the cake with Kyle. Just a little warning…this blog post is photo “heavy” – I could not narrow down the image selection to just a few – they were all so darn cute and fun! Hope you enjoy them (as much as Kyle enjoyed his cake).

One of my favorite activities to do with Kyle is to take him to swim class at Murray Callan Swim School. We have had Kyle in the water since he was about 4 months old and these past couple of months he has really taken off!

Here are a few underwater photos of him swimming! He LOVES to swim!

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge | Beautiful Eyes

This week’s I Heart Faces photo challenge is “Beautiful Eyes” – when I saw this challenge announced I thought of this photo right away! I love everything about how this photo turned out. The bricks, moss, wardrobe AND how Cassandra’s eyes POP! This photo also screams Fall…as much as I love summer I can’t wait for Fall to roll around! Makes me want to grab a pumpkin scone and a pumpkin spiced latte!

Welcome Baby Sophie to the world!!! Baby Sophie is bound to be a true water baby…you may remember a few months back Erika Thornes and I shot her mommy in an amazing underwater water maternity session. I love the very bottom left image where she is flashing us the peace sign!

This past weekend I shot the two cutest little “Beach Babies” on Del Mar Beach at Power House Park. It was the little girl’s 1st Birthday photo shoot and she just started walking a few weeks ago. I love the first photo below…looks like she is signing opera! Thank you to the “H” family for spending such a fun Sunday morning with me!!!

I spent Saturday morning shooting the 2011 Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championships up at Trestles Beach (just north of San Onofre). The Junior surfers were amazing and the color of the water that day was a bright green. Such a great weekend!
