This perfect little cutie turned one recently. Her big brother,, Brayden, sweetly watched from the sidelines and made Emma smile. She absolutely adores her mom and dad, but there is a special place in her heart for her brother and she beams when he is near. Brayden also got in some photo time – I mean this kid is a pro – but he was more than happy to give Emma her time to shine. It was extraordinarily heart-warming to see these wonderful children grow up and I am so lucky to have Nancy, James and the kids in my life. Love you guys!

Now beyond all of the mushiness, let’s talk about this cake smash! I have not done one in sooooo very long. The truth is they are often messy and usually unimpressive. But that’s not Miss Emma’s MO. Emma ADORES cake and went straight in by licking it. LICKING IT! It only got more entertaining from there, as she started feeding mom and dad. I laughed more than I photographed. I laughed so much I started crying.
