Star Wars First Birthday Cake Smash First birthday portrait & cake smash sessions are SO much fun! They’re the one session that is truly unique and customized for each client. When Lisa told me little Luca’s first birthday theme was Star Wars, I was excited to pull together a custom set up just for him! […]
A few months ago, Alecia won a family session giveaway I was running. Unfortunately her fiancé couldn’t make it tonight, but that didn’t stop us from getting some sweet images of her and her 4 month old son, Chase! I suggested Birch Grove Park and love the results here, with the soft greens and browns […]
Fresh 48s might just be my new favorite. Those first few hours of your baby’s life in the hospital are such a blur with nurses in and out, figuring out feeding patterns, and soaking in that newness that you most likely won’t be able to slow down and capture those moments. Raise your hand if […]

This newborn session is my FAVORITE to date, and I am so excited to share it here on the AKP blog. Since I am a boy mom, I don’t get to play with soft pastels, pinks or lace very often! So when I have a sweet little girl come to my studio, I pull out […]
As a boy mama, when I have the chance to pull out all of the sweet little bows and florals for the girls who come to my studio, I am so excited! Baby Alexandra was my first newborn girl and we had a blast testing out all of my new props. Thanks so much to […]
Sitter sessions are by far some of my favorite studio work. The interaction with the babies, the chunky arm rolls, the gummy smiles- I can’t get enough! Little Lorelei came in with her mommy and was such a doll! I had so much fun with her set of light +airy backdrops with some mossy garland […]
