Iā€™ve done a lot of timeless cake smashes lately with simple, neutral backdrops. And while I love those and know theyā€™ll be cherished for years to come, sometimes itā€™s just fun to get a little creative!

Yesterdayā€™s cake smash reminded me how much I love taking an idea a client gives me and bringing it to life. They wanted a whimsical woodland fairy vibe, and I think we did just that!

At one point yesterday, I found myself texting my husband a picture of a tree branch asking, ā€œIf I was tool to cut this, where would I be?ā€ šŸ˜‚ All because I decided the mushrooms needed REAL tree branches for stems.

It does make me a little sad that I no longer share the sweet babies behind these cake smashes, because seeing them in the sets is the best part. But I figured I could still share a little of what goes into creating them!

Sometimes I forget just how much I love this creative side of my job

Tree farm outfit inspo!!
Keep in mind these will happen whether itā€™s cold or warm or if itā€™s snowing! These are completely outdoor minis.

So dressing, cute and on the theme is obviously fun and part of the photography experience. But just keep in mind that Littleā€™s tend to not cope as well with the cold like we adults do! So be prepared to toss on a neutral coat or maybe layer some long sleeves and leggings underneath of their dresses. Cute beanies and gloves too!

Baking with Santa Outfit Inspo!!
Iā€™m envisioning a cozy Christmas morning in the kitchen with Santa! Santa will be in more of a relaxed outfit rather than his formal Santa suit!

Things Iā€™ve done as a wedding photographer that were absolutely NOT in my job description. šŸ“øšŸ˜‚

* Sewn wedding dresses.
* Buttoned approximately a million buttons and bustled more dresses than I can count.
* Held bouquets
* Held brides while they cried
* Collected handfuls of snotty Kleenex before portraits
* Served the bride and groom dinner
* Become a professional train fluffer
* Held babies and entertained toddlers during family portraits
* Sewn a groomsmanā€™s pants back together
* Fixed a wedding cake
* Chauffeured the bride and groom
* Rearranged ceremony decor and set up new ceremony space due to weather
* Redid a brideā€™s makeup when she wasnā€™t happy with how it turned out

And Iā€™d do every single one of them all over again. šŸ¤

Hereā€™s the thing about choosing your wedding vendors. Youā€™re hiring us for a service, yes. But youā€™re also inviting us into one of the most important, emotional, and sometimes chaotic days of your life.

And that is exactly why choosing vendors you genuinely trust is SO important.

Youā€™re trusting us to do our jobs, but youā€™re also trusting us to show up for you when things donā€™t go exactly as planned. To problem-solve, to step in when you need an extra set of hands, to recognize when you need a moment to breathe, and sometimes to handle the little things before you even realize theyā€™re happening.

Because the reality is, no wedding day goes exactly according to plan. A button breaks. Emotions run high. Something gets forgotten. And sometimes the cake needs fixing or a pair of pants needs sewing. šŸ˜‚

But those things shouldnā€™t be what you remember about your wedding day.

I want you to remember the way your husband looked at you. The tears your dad tried so hard to hold back. The laughter, the dancing, the people who showed up to celebrate you, and all those little moments you didnā€™t even realize were happening.

At the end of the day, Iā€™m not just there to deliver a beautiful gallery.

Iā€™m there to do everything within my ability to make sure you have the most perfect day possible. Even when that means putting my camera down for a minute and picking up a needle and thread.
