Shanna Chess Photography

A few weeks ago I shared a picture from another photographer's Facebook page who did an adorable adult cake smash for a 40 year old woman.  Her spunk just poured from the photos and I fell in love.  Adult cake smashes are not a new concept--I have seen quite a few over the years, but this one was awesome.  And her photos went viral!  I got a ton of comments on my business page when I shared it (with the caption: "Who wants to schedule one?!?!") and then Sandra contacted me and said she really wanted to do it!  I don't like duplicating other photographer's work, so we chatted and found a setup that Sandra enjoyed and was more like how I do my normal cake smashes with 1 year olds.  We both just loved how it turned out and had so much fun!  Enjoy!!

I'm so excited for this family's new baby!  I took Lane's newborn photos about 2 years ago and I love seeing families again and watching them grow.  He is going to be such a great big brother to his new little sister :)  Enjoy!

Joslyn came to see me when she was almost 3 months old but we really wanted to try to get some sleepy newborn shots.  She took a little cat nap where I was able to get a few sleepy shots and then she woke up refreshed and gave me some great eye contact.  Such a beautiful family!  Enjoy :)

Henry's parents came all the way from Albany for his modeling debut!  And I don't think he is a fan of traveling for work because he gave me a bit of a hard time ;)  But patience and persistence paid off and we got a gallery full of gorgeous images for his family.  Enjoy!

Michael was one of those babies that I wanted to keep!  He was so sleepy and had the most gorgeous skin and just let me pose him to my heart content!  This was a newborn mini session and I got almost as many poses and setups as I do with a full session since he was such an amazing sleeper.  Enjoy!

Sweet Miss Shiloh is so loved!  She has 4 gorgeous older brothers that love her SO much.  And of course her wonderful parents as well!  She was a good little sleeper and just absolutely gorgeous!  I can't get enough of this family :)  Welcome to the World sweet girl!  Enjoy :)
