chubby babies and messy cake smashes!
• Des moines, iowa•
A little bit about my milestone sessions and cake smashes for baby...
Newborn photography may be my passion, but I do love watching your baby grow their first year! They change so much, and far too quickly. I know, as I have four of my own "babies".
During a session... I will capture images of baby on their back, tummy, sitting and laughing. I will even help celebrate your baby's first birthday with a cake smash, where our goal is a lot fun and an adorably messy baby!
I will be a perfect fit for you if...
