cake smash

I love planning parties, so its no surprise when I book a cake smash I get a little excited.  I always talk with mum (and dad) about what their little one likes or what sort of theme they are having for the first birthday party.

For Henry’s session we incorporated his love of giggle and hoot!

I am lucky to be able to tell Samone from The best things in life are sweet the theme, then I trust her to make a cake that will suit!!  I LOVE how this one turned out!

renee-diaz-photographyAnother fun thing about cake smashes is you never know how they will go! Some kids just want to eat and wont look up, some love it and then get over it very quickly and some just don’t want a bar of it! But no matter how much they do or don’t love the cake, its still always so fun watching them !renee-diaz-photography_13renee-diaz-photography_15It was so funny, Henry wasn’t interested in the cake- he just wanted to play with the basket of shoes by the front door!renee-diaz-photography_31After the cake smash- we headed outside to get a few extra images !renee-diaz-photography_101renee-diaz-photography_108Thanks for letting me capture his first birthday guys!

Mount Barker Studio Maternity

Rachael and Charles were in the studio recently to capture some photos of their journey- before their newborn session next month!

I’m so glad when Mums to be decide to get maternity photos as I think its so important.

I always promise that in years to come your children will LOVE looking at these photos. Not only for them to see when they were inside you, but also to see how much love their was for them before they were even born!

Levi’s Newborn Session

From a maternity session to a newborn session!

I have said it before but I love photographing maternity sessions and then waiting to hear the awesome news that a new little person has entered the world!

I have had a mixture of both girls and boys in the studio lately, its been great as I have been able to use all different colours and props!

When I got the message that these guys had welcomed little Levi in to the world, I was excited for their session!

We stayed away from the baby blues and went with a grey theme for Levis session! I forgot how much I love the dark moody colours ! My little grey basket is also a favourite of mine!

Levi was so alert and awake for the start of his session, I love when babies are awake and happy and let us get some beautiful  images of them looking straight at the camera!

Renee Diaz Photography_18Such a great big sister already! Renee Diaz Photography_26Renee Diaz Photography_44Renee Diaz Photography_50I love this photo of Katie and Levi! Every mum should have a photo like this! Renee Diaz Photography_90Renee Diaz Photography_94Thanks for choosing me to photograph your beautiful family
