The Viczko Family& Sloane's smash the cake

I have enjoyed shooting the Viczko family for just over a year now through Shannon's pregnancy to their youngest daughter Sloane's 1st birthday. Each shoot has been super fun & filled with energetic kids - each with their own personality. Big sister Leora (6) loves the camera & dotes on her younger siblings, always trying to help out & such a sweety. 3 year old Joe was a bit of a challenge to photograph at the beginning of the year - NOT liking the camera at all & just generally avoiding being in any photos & if he was - it was with a scowl. I think my persistence has worn him down because at this last shoot he wouldn't get out of the shots! He loved looking through the camera with me & was cranky when I wasn't focusing on him. Little Sloane has been a great subject through her newborn & 6 month shots - but 1 year old...NO way. She's gotten some Independence & personality over the last year & does not like the camera or to be directed at all. When it came to the smash the cake portion she was hesitant to do any smashing but loved eating it! The whole family is wonderful & always such a pleasure to photograph & share a few smiles with. Thanks!

Kaitlin's Trash-the-Cake

I have been capturing Nicole, Joey & Kaitlin for several years now & when it came time for Kaitlin's 1st birthday shoot & trash-the-cake I was so excited. Kaitlin was great during the family portraits & my helper, Ella (my 5 year old daughter - who insists on coming to all trash-the-cake sessions - for quality control, of course) kept her smiling. Nicole baked a super adorable giraffe cake & Kaitlin totally went for it. She LOVED getting into the cake & wasn't hesitant at all, most kids take a little convincing that it is ok to goop right in. Enjoy the photos guys - so much fun!

Carter's Trash the Cake

Carter is 1! Wow - this year has flown by & I was happy to reconnect with Josh & Melissa to capture their busy little boy for a family portrait & a trash the cake session. Carter is super cute & VERY interested in everything - he didn't sit still for more than a second at any given moment & I was reminded of how much energy is needed to keep up with kids this age. Josh & Melissa are up to the task & it was fun to spend an hour capturing this energetic little family again. Love the cake shots too :)

Easton's excellent smash the cake!

Cute little Easton was a joy to capture on his first birthday. He's into everything - especially his cake & was very excited to have Ellie (our 4.5 years old daughter) there to help him smile, play & smash (she of course, was there for the cake). Kyla & Curtis are fun, adoring parents though Curtis has worked overseas for years now & when it came to his son turning 1 he said 'that's enough' & will now be working locally so he can continue to be close as his son continues to grow. His wife & son couldn't be happier...& it shows. Happy Birthday Easton!!!!!
