I love being there to capture all of a baby’s first year milestones – the sweet smooshiness at the newborn session, smiles and pushing up at 3 months, giggles and feet-grabbing at 6 month, and sitting, standing and getting busy at 9 months! But we pull out all the stops for baby’s first birthday session. Here’s how it breaks down… just like a party. We keep it fun and keep it moving – your one year old will love it.

Step 1. Get Balloons

Balloons are of course necessary for any birthday celebration. I always make sure they’ll match the birthday outfit!

Step 2. Play, play, play

It’s your party – play peekaboo, dance to your favorite music and charm everyone with your cuteness.

Step 3. Eat Cake

What’s a party without cake? And this time, the guest of honor gets to devour it all by herself!

Step 4. Clean Up

Cake, cake everywhere – what’s a girl to do? Time for a bath with a rubber ducky or two!

Step 5. Preserve the Memories

There are lots of great ways to remember your baby’s first birthday. We can create a custom album with shots from the whole session, or a storyboard like this, with the progression of the cake smash.

Mark this important milestone with a fun photo session, and have a very very Happy First Birthday!
