Clinton, NJ Child Photographer {Zachary}

Zachary was in my Hunterdon County, NJ studio for his first birthday session in late November looking all debonair in his sweater and tie. And can you get over his hair?! The best part was all the hugs I was able to steal (I sometimes forget that I actually have to take pictures, I’m so busy loving on these adorable children!).

For Zachary’s one year session, mom loved the idea of something rustic and simple so the blue barn doors were just perfect! I love the way his gorgeous eyes and ginger hair pop with the rich deep blue color. For his cake smash, we styled mint with blues and grays. When mom creates a photo gallery in the house, the colors from his portrait and cake smash will be cohesive and look great on display! The palette also worked well to tie in some of the colors from his newborn session too! He’s a Christmas Day baby so of course, at the time,  we had red and white as well, but we had worked in some navy for a timeless look too.

I want to say a special thank you to his mommy, Michelle, not only for choosing me to photograph both Zachary’s newborn and one year sessions but also for all the referrals she sends my way. It is such a wonderful compliment to photograph a client’s friends and family.

I want to also take a minute for a special shout out to my talented friend Abby who once again created a confectionary beauty! It is a pleasure to refer my clients to her so that she can help put the finishing touches on all the details we work so hard to plan! Abby and I have collaborated to offer a special cake smash service to my clients that takes all the stress out of planning and transporting the special treat! Ask me for details if you’re considering a cake smash session!

And PS- enjoy a little cake smash “BTS tactic” in the third to last photo.
