When Lucille’s mommy contacted me about scheduling a Cake Smash session I was super excited.  With ideas in hand we scheduled her session for a gorgeous local preserve and park; one that the family frequents often so it made for a perfect backdrop to memorialize this occasion.

I met Lucille’s mom through business dealings about two years ago so I was lucky enough to see her transition from wife to mom as her belly grew.  We lost touch for a bit but when she emailed me to capture the First Birthday images I couldn’t wait.

Lucille with her beautiful porcelain skin was delightful to photograph as we moved through a few different set ups.  She definitely wanted to be on the move and was very serious the entire time we were shooting.  With family all over, including Canada, I know all be excited to see this stuffed animal party and Lucille’s cheek.  When not looking at her beyond poofy cheeks you may be caught in those blue eyes.  I know I was.  She wasn’t a huge fan of the cake which in the long run always makes mom happy she played along for us so we could get some adorable shots with lots of facial expressions I am sure will make everyone smile.

Thank you again Dusastre family for letting me capture this exciting day!
