The Plantation Doll | Virginia Child Photographer

Every year it seems to get a bit harder to come up with something different and unique.  I wanted a fun spin on creepy this year.  Creepy in a completely non-creepy way.  Let's face it dolls can be very creepy, especially old dolls.  I found this dress and it all just came together from there.  For trick or treating we actually turned this look into a marionette doll.  If was a lot of fun for Ava and she got so many compliments.

I just love cake smashes and doing them outdoors is even more awesome.  It's like ok, so if we are going to break some rules, let's just break all of them.  Over indulge on cake...check, eat with bare hands...check, get clothes covered in food...check, and while we are at it let's just do all of this outside, in the grass, because why not. 

We should all celebrate our birthdays this way.  Cake smash every year because what could make you feel more like a kid than throwing the rules out the window.

I have been so blessed to get to be such a big part of this little ladies first year.  I've been taking her pictures since she was in the hospital, less than 48 hours new.  I've watched her grow, learn, and develop the sweetest little personality.  I can't wait to see what the future holds for her.

These sweet kiddos reminded me so much of my oldest two.  Same birth order and the way they loved on each other and also teased each other was just so adorable.  I had worried our session was going to be rained out but the weather cleared just in time.  The grass was a little wet but the sunset, oh that sunset.

The last summer sunset session of the season.  I'm sure going to miss these late evening sessions but I am ready to trade in the humidity and bugs for colorful leaves and crisp air.  Although I'll probably wait until October to finally, begrudgingly, trade in my flip flops for boots.

I absolutely adored this couple and enjoyed hanging out with them.  They fit right into my low key and laid back style.  We chat, I document, we laugh, I document, the end.  Check out their stunning images.
