Holly Turns 30! Grown Up Cake Smash. Toledo Ohio Photography.

Holly contacted me to share her birthday plans and to see if I could help. She was turning thirty and said, “I wanted to treat myself to birthday photos just for a fun experience.” She arranged a personal sized cake from So Many Somethings Desserterie. It was pink and looked absolutely delicious. Holly said it was wonderful when she actually “smashed” into it. Holly had her makeup done by Leah Naveaux from Merle Norman of Toledo and Perrysburg. She picked out an adorable pink tule skirt and wore a “Hello Thirty” top. Holly brought balloons and topped it all off with a bottle of Veuve du Vernay.

Holly is a Nurse Practitioner. When I asked her how she felt about entering a new decade she said, “I’m excited about turning 30! It will be a new adventure”. What a fabulous outlook. Holly was so wonderful to work with. She was positive and completely laid back. We had the session in the studio space at the Big Fab Lab in Bowling Green. Holly decided not to risk the Ohio weather by shooting outdoors. It was the right call because all of those balloons would have been blown away.

I think it is really cool when people document the milestones in their lives. Every year is such a precious gift. Whether you are 5 or 95, be sure to celebrate your special day this year.
