Darling Benny. I know your parents call you Benjamin, but I can\u2019t help it that every time I hear your name I reminisce of when I used to swoon over Benjamin \u201cThe Jet\u201d Rodriguez (aka Benny) from the Sandlot. I\u2019m sure all the little girly tikes are already making your parents start to think of how they will keep your handsome self safe in your teen-years.<\/p>\n

You can tell that his parents are his everything because no matter where I tried to position my camera, he always seemed to give his parents the first smile. After photographing his baptism<\/a>, I was lucky enough to get a peek at his very modern nursery. This set the stage for his Smash session. \u00a0After\u00a0speaking with his mama, we figured out that we were going to go for a clean, modern, and simple Smash the Cake session. Benjamin\u2019s parents dressed up their little looker in the most fashionable outfits and accessories. I\u00a0love the way the blue ikat fabric complimented his mustard pants. I was also dying over his polkadot bow ties!<\/p>\n

Benjamin\u00a0and his parents\u00a0will celebrate his first birthday (as probably most summer babies do) near the cool water. They are going to have a quaint little birthday party at a remote beach near their home in Long Beach. In some of the photos below, Benjamin is wearing an adorably-orange crab beanie to represent his Zodiac birthday sign, Cancer. Out of curiosity, I looked up his sign and the best traits for this astrological sign are being charitable, loving, and faithful\u2026more and more pluses for the ladies!<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday Benny! I hope all your dreams come true!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been getting a lot of request from potential clients about what my current clients are wearing, so I am going to start to provide you all with the goods (style & swag).<\/p>\n
