Read MoreClaire absolutely obliterated her cake! What makes it even funnier is that she barely ate a morsel of it, but she smashed away happily like she was splashing water in the bathtub. I mean, towards the end, there was hardly anything left on the cake stand at all.

Read MoreEven though older newborns are super tricky when it comes to capturing the sleepy posed images, it was wonderful to be able to capture some genuine awake smiles from the happy girl at the beginning of the session! Plus, I loved that Tamara chose this pretty floral backdrop!
Read MoreI absolutely love this pose with mamas and their babies! The focus is on the little one's expression, but the love and affection that mom feels comes across as well.
