It's her last portrait session from the "baby's first year" package. It's bittersweet to see it come to an end but it's been a process getting around the pandemic to make it all happen and I couldn't be more grateful to have such a wonderful family to work with.  Happy 1st birthday baby girl!

If you are looking to plan a Portland cake smash photography session for your little one, contact me today for more information.​

This is one of those situations where I would pay the parents to just let me play with their babies, haha! Who doesn't want to see twin babies on their first birthday doing after cake? No one. 
Of course, dressing them up is part of the fun too but more so that that- their life will forever be connected to each other. They need to have as many memories to look back on as possible. 
Because, they went through about 500 face expressions all within the hour!

This was one of the happiest babies I've ever gotten the pleasure of shooting. I love this age where they just like exploring everything around them. Many parents worry about having a photo session because the kids wont stay still but I cherish that about them the most! Mainly because I am a journalistic photographer and I prefer to get the "real" moments showing their personality. 
It's also very boring to just see posed smiling photos on a repeat. However, my job was so easy this time, I only just wish I got to spend even more time with the family! It's easy to say, she nailed every shot ;) 

I mean, when you have a stylish mom like Gemma- the only fabulous way to celebrate is to get mess but look great doing it, haha! She was a curious lil' bugger who was always walking like a pro so I guess who wouldn't want to explore right?? 
I loved my time in the studio with her and I had loads of fun playing, er I mean working. My handy props came in handy and we matched like peanut butter & jellyyyyyy =D
