Ceddy | Rhode Island and Boston, MA First Birthday Cake Smash Photographer

He was such a pleasure to have in the studio… and had the most inquisitive eyes.  It was great to finally meet him!

In her words:

“I’ve never really liked kids. I didn’t hate them, I just never really cared about them. Growing up with a little brother, cousins, a niece and a nephew all only 1-2 years apart and all under the age of 10 now, i’ve only known them to be extremely loud and messy and I could not be in the same room with them for more than 5 minutes at a time.
What I’m about to say may be familiar to many other women out there. Women who liked their freedom and have always said they didn,t want children because They liked to sleep in and stay up late; they want to be able to travel to wherever their hearts desired. Then all of a sudden, while laying in bed one morning, I had the “I think I’m ready” thought. It scared me that I was starting to worry about how I was going to sleep in and go on vacation, and that I was actually trying to see if there was a way to do it.
Fast forward to May 23, 2011 at 10:12pm, after holding onto him for 41 weeks, I heard the cries and looked into the eyes of the most beautiful little boy I’ve ever laid my eyes on. I felt my heart swell up and enveloped this little boy, my Ceddy Bear. Every single time I  look at him I’m in awe of how much love I could have for this tiny baby. I gladly traded sleep to tend to him and I even visited the thought of being a stay at home mom because I just couldn’t see how I could be away from him. I fought to nurse him for the entire year; even though the journey had many bumps and emotional meltdowns, I did it for him with the support of my amazing husband. He has taught us patience and perseverance; our life couldn’t be any more perfect. My husband and I don’t sleep in any more and I have not been on a plane for 2 years, but its been worth it. I can’t believe a year has already passed and I must say I can’t wait to see what he and his future siblings have in store for us!”

I had so much fun running around Providence with these boys… what a lucky mom and dad to have such energetic, smiley, healthy children!
In her words:
“As you could see, griffin is full of energy and his smiles are contagious.  His hugs are pure and tight. 

In one moment, he will plow you over for a kiss attack or a tickle; only to snuggle you and sing sweet lullabies 

in the next.  We love his perfect combination of sweet and mischievous spirit.
It took two long years for Colton and he was worth the wait.  Everyone called him our Zen baby.  He was always so
calm and peaceful.  He has grown into a sweet, loving little boy.  He is full of determination and charm.  The world is definitely at his feet.
 Our world has been blessed with these two boys and I thank God for them everyday!”

Lana’s First Birthday | Rhode Island and Massachusetts First Birthday Cake Smash Photographer

“Lana is our sweet, inquisitive, and funny little girl.  She has taught us to slow down and appreciate life.  Lana enjoys reading, being outdoors, animals, and 5 to 6 step walks in front of the house where she smiles her “silly smile” at all of the neighbors.  Watching Lana learn each day is the most rewarding part of our time with her so far.  We are lucky to be her parents.”

 

Happy first birthday Lana!  It was a pleasure to have your crazy hair and quick legs in the studio!
