We met at Rocky Point Park again and made our way towards The Old Mill Site, I love this area. You can only reach it when the tide is low but the Old Mill is now all decayed and quite destroyed that it's a great place to go exploring in. Gavin could hardly walk a foot without turning over the brick path looking for treasure and sea animals, crabs mostly. And I love the photos at the end, because they are all having such a fun time looking for crabs and just hanging out!
Meet little man Gavin and his awesome and loving parents:
I knew I wanted to a cake smash and had a whole idea/look that I wanted to do. I'm just going to be honest...it didn't work out the way I wanted it to. My original backdrop was left at my previous shoot location and I wasn't able to get it back in time so I had to improvise. Thankfully I love the end product! It's a little bit darker then I intended, but I love it just the same.
Ariel was an awesome model and I looove working with her! At first she would have nothing to do with me until I brought out some bubbles, then she just became like butta! Then the cake! Oh gosh, she didn't know what to do with it and we had to force her to put her hand into it. But in the end as you can see, I think she liked the idea of eating something so sweet!
Enjoy!
Thank you Erin + Joel for letting me photograph your little babe again!
Great idea, fantastic pics!

Zaya and her mom traveled downtown for the their session, all the way out from the urban burbs and it was such a delight to watch Zaya's eyes light up as we walked up and down towering streets and watch the locals running from one meeting to another. Although I think her eyes danced with excitement once I brought the bubbles out, she just wanted the bubbles. So cute!
Meet the adorable and lovable Zaya...(don't you just love that name?!):
Can't wait till I see those two again!
Lesley, these are gorgeous! In my humble, non-photographer opinion, your best children's photos so far, love it!
(03.29.10)You did a wonderful job and you made a friend for life!!! (just don't forget the bubbles...) many thanks ~ Amanda & Zaya :)
(03.29.10)Nana is a tad bias... Zaya is always ready for the camera... my favorite pic is one where she is reaching for the sunrays or maybe bubbles...
(03.29.10)Wow!!!...simply beautiful photos...I have to agree with Cyndy...my fav pic is the close up with Zaya reaching for the bubbles amongst the gorgeous sunrays...great work...great subject!!!

With their fingers entwined, they continued walking, showing their daughter where the largest magic tree resides; discovering a white feather they tell her that this is what the wicked witch will turn into if she smiles. She is completely enthralled with their stories! He picks her up, her legs swinging wildly into the breeze describing how beautiful the princess is (which is the perfect description of the little girl giggling in the nook of her dad's neck), then with wide eyes she looks over at her mom and exclaims "Mom, I found the prince!!" and kisses her dad's head.
As the sun sets, the white feather and magic forest forgotten, he entwines his fingers with his wife and daughter pulling them close. She may have found her prince, but he found the rarest jewel - two beautiful hearts full of love and laughter with eyes only for him.

We walked along the gravel pathway with the sun glowing brightly surrounded by the beautiful ocean, the snow capped mountains, and the towering trees. You could hear the birds chirping peacefully in the distance, but mostly you were drawn in by the sounds of love between a wife and husband, a mother and father telling beautiful tales of the magic forest where the beautiful princess lives.
