Gracie was SO serious for nearly her entire photo shoot, that it makes this joyful smile I was able to capture that much more special!

I know it's cold af today, so what better day to start thinking about those warm outside spring & summer vibes?? Outdoor portrait season officially starts in May so if you're in need of maternity, family, or any other outdoor portrait sessions, please contact me soon!

Please share your fave warm weather emoji if you want me to check and make sure you're on my list to get notified when those bookings go live!

Adalynn's Cake Smash is on the blog today! If you love super girly with pinks and purples, this session was all about that! Oh, and Happiest 1-year-old Award for sure! Adalynn Elise gave me all the smiles! https://emilynovakphotography.com//adalynns-1st-birthday-s

Happy 1st Birthday to this little strawberry-lover! Thanks again to my good friend Lara for letting me borrow her little munchkin so I could turn my vision into a reality!

When you tell brother & sister to pose together! Some of the best pictures come from just letting kids be kids.

Lighting + Location! The majority of my maternity sessions are May - October for obvious reasons...but this session proves that mamas whose due dates put their maternity session timeframe between November - April can still get stunning outdoor portraits if you trust my recommendations on timing and location! Granted, we lucked out with a gorgeous March evening, but even if it had been colder, this was a petite session done in just 30 minutes and Andrea got a gorgeous variety in her gallery!

When I heard the word "snow" on the weather forecast this morning. But then 60 degrees for Easter.... Is this an early April Fools joke? ...Not a fan

All snuggled up

Nothing compares to that mother-daughter love.

So...this may come as a shock, but a Lot of my cake smash babies have very little interest in the actual cake. Hamza....definitely not a fan! But even if the beautiful cake and topper simply become a prop in the background of your images, we still get some incredibly adorable photos to capture your baby's first birthday!

Blush and sage green -- a baby girl color combo that's both fun and classic! And as hard as little Adalynn made me work at getting this bucket shot perfect, I'll never get tired of sharing it!

Wow, did Easter just sneak up on me this year! How precious is this little one?? This session with Adalynn was so fun, it's making me consider the possibility of offering Easter minis next year! Have an egg-cellent day with your little ones!

Love capturing moments for older brother or sisters to be.

It's a Monday, enough said!

Look how handsome this little guy is

The bond between parent and child is unbreakable and unmatchable!

How sweet are these sisters?
