Elle's mom contacted me back in October to set up a January cake smash session in the studio. I love when clients contact me early because this allows for extra planning and a truly customized session. The request was for a whimsical feel with a soft and neutral color palette and once I saw the dress she was going to wear, the wheels started turning. It is often difficult to keep up creativity while shooting indoors ALL winter long, but this session was so fun to plan and shoot that I think it gave me an extra boost of energy to make it through January. The Tutu Du Monde dress reminded me of a cloud which prompted a new pinterest board with DIY cloud tutorials, whimsical floral vines, and pearly white balloons. The birthday girl looked so adorable (even without a nap that morning) and I think we were all oohing and ahhing with every smile. 

Happy birthday, sweet girl!
