{ Cake Smash Session Fabulousness!! }

Sweet little Riley – from a newborn to a one-year-old {Yeah!} – I have just loved watching this little girl grow over this last year! 

It was an exciting Cake Smash portrait session – her family bought the “First Year Moments” baby plan! 

What a great cake Riley’s Mom brought with them!  Riley was dressed in an adorable tutu and a couple other outfits. 

Typically when a Cake Smash happens, the parents bring three outfits!  What are your favorite outfits that you dress your children in for special occasions?

The Power of the Internet

I am still amazed at the power of the internet.  I have been told by multiple people that they found me simply by Googling “photographers in North Augusta” or “newborn photography”.  

I guess it is really not that different than the old school Yellow Page book that I remember thumbing through when I was younger, but I love knowing that someone, who didn’t know me at 1 p.m., looked for a photographer, saw many results return, clicked on my name, checked out my website and/or Facebook page and by 1:30 p.m. decided I was the right photographer to capture their precious moment in time.  Amazing!

Susan Waskavitz found me through a Google search and when she reached out to me, she told me that she was the Mom of an almost one-year-old and she was looking for a photographer to capture her family’s first portraits.

On the day we set our session, I drove to Edgefield, SC to her family’s farm.  What a beautiful day, the farm was so pretty and Spring was bestowing her majesty of everything in bloom.  As if the scenery wasn't enough, the Waskavitz family was adorable - Susan, Adam and sweet Milo were a wonderful family.

One of the most special parts of the day was watching Milo with his Grandpa.  The smile that Milo gave when his Grandpa was helping to him to smile was one of affection and unconditional love.  Such a precious moment and such a lovely session.  What types of special moments of your children do you like watching most?  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info
