Mommy found the secret to getting the biggest smil Mommy found the secret to getting the biggest smiles!!!! 4 month old sessions can be a little tricky.  Here are some of my top tips for a successful 4 month milestone session.
⏰ Schedule your baby’s photos after nap time.  We want your baby to be well rested before your session starts.
🍼 Make sure your baby isn’t hungry.  A hungry baby isn’t a happy baby.
🧵Don’t offer too many outfit changes.  4 month olds have a short wake window, so you want to use your time wisely.
😀 Let your photographer try to get smiles instead of using favorite toys.  This helps your baby have eye contact with the camera.
😅 Most importantly, relax!  Even the happiest baby may not smile much at a photo session.  If you are stressed, your baby will feel it.  Have fun!

I’m back in the office today!!!! Sooooo many ses I’m back in the office today!!!! Sooooo many sessions to edit!  If you are waiting on yours, I’ll be working like a busy bee today to get as many galleries out as possible. 

I had 2 sets of twin girls this year, and they were born within a week of each other.  As a boy mom, photographing twin girls is just heaven for me!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so thankful Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so thankful for this community.  I have been blessed with some amazing clients throughout my 14 years in business. Many who have gone from clients to friends. Thank you to those of you that like and comment on my posts and stories.  Those simple acts help support my little business, and I am thankful for you. 2023 has been a great year for SPP, and I never let myself forget what a blessing it is to love my job.

Speaking of blessings, these 3 are my biggest blessings.  I love my boys with everything in me. They were the motivation to start my business, and they are now the inspiration that keeps me loving my business. They are proof of how quickly time passes and why capturing every moment on camera is so important. I’m also thankful for the best hubby ever.  He’s my cheerleader, biggest fan, and best friend. 

I hope you spend this day with those you love or doing something you love.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Client Closet is one of our clients’ favorit Our Client Closet is one of our clients’ favorite parts of a milestone session.  Parenting is busy and choosing outfits for your baby’s photo session can be stressful, so my goal is to take all of the stress away! 

Here are some benefits of choosing a photographer with a Client Closet:
⭐️ You can bring your baby in their pajamas! Many babies nap on the way to the studio, so this is perfect.  Our closet is stocked with sizes 3 months - 2T with a large selection.  You truly only need to bring baby.

💝 Did you know that certain colors don’t photograph well? Our closet is filled with clothing that fits my editing style, so you know the outfit you choose is going to look great!

💰 Boutique baby outfits can be pricey.  We usually use 2-3 outfits for a milestone session.  By using our Client Closet, you are not purchasing a pricey outfit for your baby to wear once or twice. 

🤩 Most importantly… it’s fun!  It’s so fun coming to the studio and playing dress up! Your baby is only little for a short time, and these photos are for YOU!  So let’s have fun creating them!

I usually chose simple and dainty headbands, but we went a little extra for this one.  I must admit, I’m a little obsessed!

Want to guess my favorite type of session to photo Want to guess my favorite type of session to photograph?

Yes, I do love newborns.  But…. they can be hard on your body.  That’s why I only book 1 newborn session a day.  But cake smashes?  I could do these all.day.long!

Cake smashes at SPP are super special.  They are the culmination of your baby’s first year and a celebration that you survived it! 🤣I love being part of the celebration.

When you walk in the studio on the day of your baby’s cake smash, you will be created with your custom cake. We will go back to the Client Closet and chose outfits for your baby. We will start with milestone photos to capture your baby’s personality and celebrate your baby’s achievements. Then we will dig in to the cake.  Don’t worry, every baby reacts differently to the cake. Some love it, some are scared of it, and some won’t touch it! That’s ok! I’m prepared for it all, and we embrace however your baby reacts!

Sweet Lettie is one of the happiest babies I’ve ever met, and she even took time to warm up to the cake! Her birthday was Sunday.  Happy birthday sweet girl! It’s been a joy watching you grow!
