January 2015 - Jennifer Rittenberry Photography » Jennifer Rittenberry Photography

It’s always fun meeting new clients and is one of the reasons why I love being a Louisville KY Baby Photographer. I met Kinsley and her mother at her 9 month milestone session back in the Fall. She has sass for days, a smile that puts sunshine to shame and the biggest brown eyes I’ve ever seen. In one word, gorgeous. She came into the studio for her 1st birthday cake smash session, which was themed to the tune of Minnie Mouse. Now, I don’t know where her mom tracked down all of these adorable Minnie Mouse props, but she gets a gold star for being the most prepared mother ever for a session! She showed up with a whole suitcase full of themed accessories, no really, I’m.not.kidding… Minnie Mouse suitcase to boot!

I generally like to start my cake smash sessions off with the formal shots and cutesy prop shots and then on to the main event. Here’s a little how our session flowed in order below…

You already know she gets whatever she wants with eyes like THESE… 3P9B1414

Then we moved on to some prop shots from my typical session styling:

I know, I know…on with the cake smash already, right? Well, just about. I make sure to snap several cute ones before the cake massacre begins!

Have you ever seen such a cute diaper cover as this? Personalized with YOUR name on them? Nope. Didn’t think so. lol

Cake anyone??? I think she’s about ready 🙂 Game face… Check!

Dig in!! Hands, feet, whatever works?!

All in all, I think she liked the cake! Shooting on a Savage Backdrop here from B&H Photo. They can be found at https://www.facebook.com/bhphoto. These make for quick an easy cleanups after a messy cake smash. Tear the piece off and throw it away!

Thanks for reading. Stay tuned for my next blog post from my first set of TWINS!

I’m excited to share my experience as a Louisville KY Newborn Photographer and first post-workshop session with a super squishy newborn named Cora! She was one of my best sleepers ever to come into the studio (even to date)! I was feeling quite a fair amount of added confidence in my abilities after the workshop and was ready to tackle this session like no other. From the ever-intimidating womb pose, bean bag work flow, creative styling and giving a better overall experience to my clients. We had a great session with a TON of gorgeous images, but a few of my favorites are shown below.

I have had a really hard time trying to pick a favorite from this session because there are so many stunners to choose from, so I’m curious to know which one is yours and why?! Leave your thoughts in the comments below and I’ll tell you which one I settled on finally!

Pink Mini Blanket from one of my all time favorite vendors Mama Knits & Tieback is from My Darling Emma. I just adore her sweet little face and you can truly see how flexible she was while in this “womb pose.”

Simple bonnet above from Beautiful Ewe. I love all of her stuff; every bonnet fits like magic! The gorgeous head wrap below can be found at Luneberry; high quality newborn head jewelry <3

Glam Layer from Art My Blanket, wrap Amos and Sawyer and bonnet Tanyas Tangles.

Straw Fluff is by Oh So Fleeting. I think bowl is my favorite new prop, too!

SERIOUSLY LOVE BOTH OF THESE VENDORS: Bonnet from Tanyas Tangles & Glam Layer from Art My Blanket

Glam Layer from Art My Blanket & Tieback from My Darling Emma.
