It’s The Great Bambino! Little Teddy is turning one soon, and came to the studio for a baseball-themed First Birthday Session. He is adorable, and knocked it out of the park!

Teddy’s mommy, originally from Long Island, NY, had him dressed in the absolute cutest lil’ Yankees jersey, personalized with name and age.

I love all things vintage, so I leaned in to the classic baseball props, decorating with antique baseballs, a mitt, Mickey Mantle kids bat (all courtesy of my parents basement), popcorn, and classic Coca-Cola bottles. My studio is conveniently located next to an antique store, so I was able to find the vintage Coca-Cola crates! That store is quickly becoming my happy place. I could spend hours perusing the rooms.

Thanks for stopping by the studio, Ted! You are the cutest lil’ slugger. Happy 1st Birthday!

It was so wonderful to see Lucy and her sweet parents again! She was such a precious newborn, and has blossomed into the sweetest little almost-one-year-old! Full of personality! I am loving the chunky cable name sweaters that are becoming a trend this year. I think they pair perfectly with a simple, neutral background to really highlight the little person wearing them.

We then did some shots in her pretty, light pink birthday dress while having a tea party with a few friends she brought along. Her birthday party theme is a tea party, so I, of course, had to work it into her session. She was making us laugh while using her teapot spout as a straw!

She gave us lots of big smiles, showing off her six little teeth.

Then it was time to bring out the treat she had been waiting for - her smash cake! She went straight for it, and kept shoveling handfuls of cake into her mouth. So cute and silly! I just adore this little sweetheart, and hope to work with her again in the future. Wishing you a very Happy 1st Birthday!
