{Project Christmas} Red Velvet Minis

So, this project I "created" on my own. I LOVE red velvet cake, so I figured, hey, how fun would little bite-size cakes be? And thus became my Red Velvet Minis!

I just used regular old store-bought red velvet cake mix and scooped it into a mini muffin pan. I baked them according to the instructions, but cut the bake time by half. And of course, what's a red velvet cake without cream cheese frosting? Again, store bought cause I'm lazy. I have been nommin' on these all day and they'll most likely be gone by tonight.

This little newbie could not have been any sweeter- so quiet and calm and a good sleeper! And that hair? Love! I was so excited to use a few new props since it has been a little while since my last newborn shoot, and she was a willing model!

Avery, you are a lucky girl to be born into such a wonderful family! Thank you guys for allowing me to capture your beautiful new addition!

{The Barnett Fam} | Gwinnett County Portrait Photographer

I met this sweet family of photographers about 8 years ago- before they were actually a family! These two were college classmates of mine at Gwinnett Tech where we all studied photography. It wasn't until after we graduated that they finally began dating and the love they shared began to grow! I was pregnant with my youngest at their wedding a few years ago, and was thrilled when they had their first baby last November. Now that their sweet little bundle is now a rumblin', tumblin' toddler, it was time for family portraits!

I was honored to capture these memories for them! The weather looked ominous, but the light remained gorgeous as we shot almost till the sun went down.

Love you guys and thanks for this opportunity!
