Jayden’s Carnival Cake Smash : Irvine, Ca

Jayden Turns 1!

Baby Jayden just turned 1 and he has the MOST AWESOME carnival themed cake smash to prove it! I drove down to Irvine to meet this little guy and his super spiffy family a couple weeks ago and let me tell you, the set up was just a dream for a photographer. Let me call it Pinterest perfection! Mom, aka Mary, was a referral through a family that I took photos of earlier in the year (which will be featured soon!). Mary wasn’t sure if she wanted to do Dr. Suess or Carnival themed- but as much as I love Cat in the Hat…this was perfect- so many possibilities  and activities for the kids to participate in! Face painting, balloon animals, popcorn, shaved ice, a jumpy topped off by a magic show by the “Handsome Hector” with a live rabbit! Let’s just say the kids were floored by it all! Never a dull moment!

 

Don’t you just LOVE all the vintage details?? For some reason, the elephants kept catching my eye…

I couldn’t resist this kid- he didn’t even want to go in the jumpy at first…I think he definitely changed his mind toward the end

Tamara’s bachelorette in Kings Beach had it all—deck hangs, lake views, and the kind of wild weekend you want to remember.

Mackenzie and Josh’s Valhalla Lake Tahoe wedding was filled with love, music, and stunning florals! As a Lake Tahoe wedding photographer, I captured their magical day with sunset portraits, a floating floral arch, and personal touches like custom cat Vans and hand-knitted shawls. See more of their beautiful day!
