Earlier this fall, we transformed a corner of my backyard into a magical little cake smash set - complete with fairy lights, lace and a sprinkling of unicorn magic. Saoirse turned one - and this little girl needed all the pretty things. It was a beautiful fall day - one of the last of the season!

Happy Birthday little miss Saoirse. I wish for you to know that you are made of steel and pixie-dust, stardust and fire and that the world is yours for the taking. I cannot wait to see what you do with it.

Amy and Nate - thank you for trusting in my work, it is an honor to photograph the many moments in your lives.

Katie - thank you for putting up with me in building this set - creating with you is always full of bloopers and laughter.
