Baby J's Cake Smash - Moscow / Scranton Children's Photographer

Baby J's mom said she wanted to do a cake smash to celebrate his first birthday. She warned us that he would be messy. He was the messiest baby by far! He was crawling through the icing, smearing it all over the floor. When he tried to stand up, he was slipping all over the place. Ed would try to grab him, and Ed would slide. The whole scene was too funny.

New to the family

Last week we drove down to Virginia, just outside of DC to take some photographs of Sophia, a daughter of my friends Pietra and Vanjela. Pietra's grandmother and my grandmother met back in the 60s when they both bought vacation property at Lake Wallenpaupack. Her mother and my father grew up together and then Pietra and her brother and my sisters and I grew up together.

Needless to say, I was thrilled to go see her baby. I dragged Ed along for the ride. She was having a little bit of a belly ache, but we worked in between cries. Here are some of my favorites.
