Mom and Dad love baseball and wanted to have a baseball theme to their session. Since Mom is an Angel's fan and Dad is a Dodger's fan we didn't have a specific team we were representing, it was just an overall baseball theme... I guess he can figure out his team allegiance when he gets a little older! :-)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In my last blog post, I went over a general outline of a cake smash, what to expect and a few pointers... this time I'm just going to show a few images from my most recent session and a couple behind the scenes images of me doing my thing, courtesy of Aaron's mom!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you can see below, the first part of the session is all about baseball. Aaron was such a rockstar and did a great job "posing" for the camera.</div>

</div>
<div>
The second part of the session was more "formal." Aaron looked so stinkin' cute with his little hat, tie and suspenders... even though he's not much of a hat guy. We compromised and shot some with hat on, some with hat off. Since Aaron is only 12 months old he's not super balanced, so I made sure that Dad was within grabbing distance (you can see Dad's feet on the right in the behind the scenes image) in case Aaron got a little wobbly or tried to lean forward.</div>

And last, but not least, we moved to the cake part of the session. I gotta say, this little man loved his cake! It was a lot of fun watching him get into it and really make a mess. Although the cake is too demolished in the image below to see what it was, it did start out as a cute little baseball cake...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see, there is potential for a big mess, so I'm going to recommend for future Cake Smash sessions that mom or dad bring a t-shirt or something they can put on over their regular clothes so they don't get messy also as they are cleaning up all the cake from their little one... especially if they have somewhere to go after the session! :-)</div>

This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Miss
Sophia for her 12- month cake smash. I first met Sophia about eight months ago
when her mom brought her to my studio for a session at four months old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was a little cutie then and she’s even more
of a cutie now! I thought this would be a good opportunity to talk about what
happens before and during a cake smash, show a “behind the scenes” (BTS) image
(thanks hubby!!), and provide a couple suggestions on what can be done ahead of time to get the most out of your cake smash session.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, first off all… what the heck is a cake smash? Well, as
the name implies, it’s an opportunity to photograph a 12-month old baby
smashing cake, hopefully into their face, and photograph them making as much of
a mess as possible. What’s not to love about that?! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But, a cake smash session is more than that. As it occurs at
the 12-month point, it’s considered a “milestone” session.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 12 months, babies can generally stand,
either on their own or by holding onto something, and some babies are even
walking so it’s a great opportunity to capture those “milestone” moments. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Prior to the session, we will talk about clothing and color
options. I actually have quite a few dresses/lace jumpers for girls and some
cute hats/ties and pants for boys, so if you didn’t want to go buy anything
special, you don’t need to. I can send you pictures of what I have and you can
see if there is anything that interests you. If you decide to bring your own
outfits, I just ask that you text me a picture so I have an idea of what
background/props to use. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s also
helpful for me to know in advance if your child is shy or uncomfortable around
strangers so I can try to ease them into the session. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A six inch cake or even a large cupcake
works great for the session. I’d prefer if you brought your own as you are
aware of any allergy concerns pertaining to your baby, however, if you are
unable to I will provide a small cake for an additional fee of $10.00 as long as you let
me know in advance of any food allergies. Buttercream frosting or any frosting
that is smooth and creamy works best. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The session will start out as a “regular” session, meaning
we will do two different set ups/different outfits/props first, and then the
final set up will be the cake smash. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
the session I had this past weekend, mom brought the first two outfits and I
provided the cake smash outfit. Below is a BTS picture of Sophia posing for me
in her princess dress…. isn’t she a doll? Also, posted is an “after” picture in
the princess dress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As you can see in the BTS image, mom is near
Sophia while I’m snapping away. Although safety wasn’t a huge concern for this
pose, she did sit in chairs and other props for other images... safety is always a priority!<o:p></o:p><br />

Sophia was feeling great for the first two setups, but when the cake arrives, she
just wasn’t into it… and that happens sometimes.<br />
<o:p></o:p><br />
Here are a few suggestions that you can do prior to the
session that may help your cake smash go smoothly:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.5in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Please be sure your baby has a nap. Unlike a
newborn session, we want our 12 month olds awake, alert and ready to rock and
roll.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.5in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Bring cheerios. Sometimes, especially with shy babies,
I need to build trust with them and feeding them treats is a good way to do
this. Cheerios are great because they are small, don’t make a mess, and are
quick and easy for them to chew and swallow. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.5in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Have a trial run… give them cake or a cupcake a
week prior to the session. If your baby has never seen a cake before, they
don’t really know what to do with it and can be hesitant to dig in and enjoy. If
you let them and eat a cake or cupcake prior to your session, they will
understand what to do once the time comes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.5in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">4)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Do not bring a cake with red frosting. The
frosting looks like blood… enough said. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.5in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">5)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Keep in mind that babies can get very messy during
the cake eating so you don’t want them in their best clothes or even a lot of
clothes. It’s best to just have them in a cute diaper cover or a frilly skirt. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
If you have any questions or would like to schedule a cake
smash session of your own (well, for your baby … although I have heard of adult
cake smash sessions and if your willing then so am I!) please contact me, I’d
love to hear from you.</div>

Pregnancy is full of aches and pains, morning sickness,
weight gain, hormonal imbalances, and multiple trips to the bathroom at all
times of the day and night… it’s a challenge during this time to see yourself
as the goddess that you truly are. Bringing new life into the world is probably
the most amazing thing you will ever do and, like all amazing experiences, it
is so important to capture this moment in time.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have a friend who is pregnant and a couple weeks ago we
were talking about her upcoming maternity session and what she told me just
about broke my heart. She is having second thoughts about having a maternity
session because she says when she looks in the mirror she doesn’t feel good
about the way she looks. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My fondest wish
is that she could quiet that negative voice in her head and see
herself through my eyes, or the eyes of her husband, or her mother’s eyes and
see how truly beautiful she is at this moment in time. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">I’m imagining that some of you probably feel the same way as
my friend and that’s where I come in… to photograph you at this somewhat
ungainly, uncomfortable time in your life and capture the beauty, glow, and
grace that all the rest of us see when we look at you. It’s also important to
remember that the images taken aren’t just about you.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">They are of you, naturally, but they are
about so much more. When your child grows older they are going to cherish these
images of you while they were growing in your tummy, as will your grandchildren
and their children and so on.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, what happens during a maternity session you ask? Well,
let’s start at the beginning… when you schedule the session we will discuss whether you would prefer to have the session in studio or some place more public, like a park. I'll also ask questions to get an idea of what you want your images to look like, for example, we
will talk about what colors you would like to wear; whether you are comfortable
showing your belly (don’t worry about a few stretch marks, I have a magic wand to
help with those!); if are you wanting to be photographed in your own clothes (I
have quite a few beautiful maternity dresses and fabrics so you don’t need to
bring anything if you don’t want to); if the baby’s father or siblings going to
join you for the session; whether you
are wanting something a little more risqué in your session, or perhaps you’d like some images in
silhouette. If you choose to bring some of your own clothes I can send you a
cheat sheet to give you some “do’s and don’ts.” Ultimately, my goal is to have
you as comfortable and relaxed during the session as possible so we will want
to discuss anything you have questions or concerns about beforehand and get
them out of the way.</div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-align: justify;">The most important thing I can recommend bringing is
underwear (thong or bikini underwear if possible) and a strapless bra that
match the colors we are photographing you in. For example, if you are wearing
black for the session it would be helpful when post processing the images if
your undergarments were also black. If you don’t have a strapless bra and
underwear that match the colors we are photographing, or if we are shooting a
variety of colors, then please bring beige/skin tone undergarments with no
patterns or designs.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Believe it or not, maternity sessions can be fun… yes, I
said fun! I can put on some music to get you in a playful or relaxed mood during your session and you will be photographed in three
outfits or looks with different poses, different lighting, perhaps a tiara or
flowers in your hair, and heck, we may even use a fan to give the appearance of
hair blowing in the wind. I will verbally guide you into the different poses,
although occasionally I may fuss with your hair to keep it out of your eyes or
from covering your face. If you don’t feel comfortable with any poses, for example
lying down, just let me know. I will
also capture images of you with your baby’s father or your baby's siblings if they are
present at the session. Maternity sessions typically last between 60-90
minutes.</div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once the session is over I will review your images, choose
and edit the best of the best and upload them to my website. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ask that you give me a week, but generally I
can have the images ready for you to review within 72 hours. I will also post a
“sneak peek” of your session on my Facebook and/or Instagram page within 24 hours. Once
your images are uploaded on my website, I will send you the link and password
so you can access your images and then you begin the fun process of selecting the ones you
want to purchase in print or digital format. There are many different printed
sizes and types to choose from so if you need any assistance or recommendations
during this process please let me know. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A few last words… celebrate your pregnancy, whether it’s
your first, second or sixth, with professional images. A few pictures taken
with someone’s cell phone at your baby shower isn’t going to capture you at
your best and most flattering. It may feel like you are pregnant FOREVER while
you are going through the experience, but really it’s just a blip of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before you know it you will be cheering on
the sidelines at soccer games, watching them walk across the stage during
graduation, having children of their own, and this time of your life will be a
distant memory. Just remember, once it’s over, it’s over. I’ve never known
anyone regret having maternity images taken, but I do know women who have regretted
NOT having them taken. <o:p></o:p></div>

Onti Photography's Blog!!I've never done a blog and honestly, up until a couple days ago, I don't even know if I've ever read a blog before... so here I am, giving it a go! I'm looking forward to the opportunity of presenting information about me, my experiences during photography sessions, and information about my photography business to potential clients in this type of format... hopefully on a weekly basis.<br />
<br />
What has ultimately enticed me to starting a blog is this... it seems like no one wants to communicate by phone anymore, everything is texting or email. And while those mediums can be useful to send and receive information, it seems like I'm writing the same thing over and over again to different people... and when I'm trying to text out information my clients need to know to prepare for their session or answer their questions about scheduling a session, it makes it difficult via text... and my fingers get sore... so I can't be as complete in my communications as I'd like.<br />
<br />
But now, I can write out everything I'd like to share, in just one easy to find location, and it can be read by thousands of people... all at the same time even! Isn't technology amazing?<br />
<br />
With that being said, I'd still love to speak with you on the phone and engage in a back and forth sharing of ideas for the session, answer any and all questions you may have and, of course, schedule your session so please don't hesitate to call... unless it's midnight, I won't answer if it's midnight. And if it isn't midnight and you call and I still don't answer, please leave a voicemail message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
Ta-Ta for now... I'm off to make a list of things to blog about in the future. I believe my next blog will be about what to expect during a maternity session. Can't wait!<br />
