I’m convinced that if anyone looked up the word “personality” in the dictionairy, Alina’s picture would be the definition! This one year/ cake smash session was so dreamy in so many ways. One of my favorite things about Alina’s one year session was how much she LOVED music. She took a total of one bite of her cake and danced the rest of the time!

Before I get into detail about this Newborn session, can we just take a moment for this hair?! Diego was a picture perfect model when he came into the studio at just 9 days old.

Meet the most cooperative children in the world. Avery was the proudest big sister and was so happy to comply with all of my requests. I love this first sister image so much that I actually have it hanging in my studio. Smiles all around!

For Henry’s big day, he got to take over the JNP Studio—both inside and out.  Although his official first birthday fell last March, we waited for the perfect spring day to schedule his photoshoot.  (Fortunately, that didn’t take too long.)  On April 28th, we had sunny, warm weather; just right for a Cake Smash and cleanup.

Working with newborns requires a bit of flexibility before, during, and even after the photoshoot.  Take little Luke, for example.  When he decided to come 3 weeks early—much to Mom and Dad’s delight—we quickly moved things around to welcome him at the JNP Studio.  He surprised everyone at 37 weeks, but fortunately, made his debut as a healthy, happy newborn!  

Watching Nora grow through her First Year Plan has been a joy for everyone around her!  (Myself included.)  For those of you who may not be familiar with this program, it’s basically something I developed a few years ago to help parents capture the many milestones newborns experience.  The Deibler family decided to participate when baby Nora was born and we celebrated her first birthday last summer with a super sweet Cake Smash!  

I know what you’re thinking—Jessica Neumann Photography does headshots?!  While it’s not what people first think of when they picture JNP, it’s actually one of my favorite services to provide.  Especially when I get to work with clients like this local professional. Normally, I have the honor of photographing the entire family.  But when Mom asked me to take some unique headshots, I immediately jumped at the chance to do something different.
