Charlie Marie | Turns Two | Orange County

Charlie Marie is as spunky as her adorable name! She is turning two this June and I couldn’t have asked for a cuter way to photograph this special occasion for her. I blushed a million times over when her mom contacted me and wanted to mimic Charlie’s second birthday photo session after my daughter’s first birthday. She even wanted to do a two-year old cake smash…how cute is that, right?! She definitely tweaked the session’s decor to fit Charlie Marie’s style and personality. Her mom spray painted gold eucalyptus leaves and added some pretty greens and white roses. The cake was a beauty as well. They ordered a yellow ruffled buttercream cake that complimented her black and white romper (etsy purchase) and gold headband. I love it when parents make a little and buy a little. It’s a perfect combination if you ask me. And then these yellow wildflowers appeared and it was like the heavens parted and I sang a sweet “ahhhh” song of praise to the photography gods. Ha! Happy Birthday to sweet sweet Charlie Marie that doesn’t really do dresses but loves rompers and cake!
