Payton could not have been sweeter for her First Birthday Session! She was so happy, friendly, and content. I so enjoyed meeting her, and photographing her in her various looks - such a fashionista! Her session was a lot of fun, and a great way to kick off 2021!
Lakyn & Luca are One! - First Birthday Session
These two never disappoint! They bring the cuteness and the smiles every time. It has been a joy to photograph their first year of life, from newborns to one-year-olds bursting with personality. Lakyn & Luca, I wish you the very best and most fun Mickey and Minnie 1st birthday party! And to mom and dad, congrats on surviving year one x 2!
Clare is One! - First Birthday Session
The last time I saw Clare, she was sound asleep in a bucket of pumpkins, a few days new. She has blossomed into such a sweet, charming one-year-old. I mean, look at that personality just shining right through! She was a joy to photograph. I wish her a very Happy 1st Birthday!
Knox is One! - First Birthday Photography
It’s been 2 months since I’ve photographed anyone, and it felt so good to be back at it with sweet Baby Knox as my first client since our “new normal” began. I last photographed Knox as a newborn in his home. For his First Birthday session, we ultimately planned for an outdoor location due to the new restrictions, and we had such a lovely evening for the session with beautiful purple blossoms and streams of golden sunlight. Knox was super smiley, and thankfully, wasn’t at all afraid of the lady in the mask photographing him.
Happy 1st Birthday, Knox!
Adelyn is One! - First Birthday Photography
Adelyn is One! This girl knows how to celebrate! She prefers to just dive right in to her cake, and savor each bit. A metaphor for life! Sometimes we can learn a lot from babies. :) Happy 1st Birthday, Adelyn! It was a pleasure having you in the studio!
Peyton is One! - First Birthday Photography
Sweet Little Peyton brought the smiles for her First Birthday Session, and my favorite part of it was the one singular tooth poking through her gums. Sooo cute! A moment in time her parents are sure to want to look back on forever. It was a pleasure capturing this sweetie and her sweet-tooth!
Happy 1st Birthday, Peyton!
Connor is One! - First Birthday Photography
First Birthday sessions are some of my favorite sessions! One-year-olds are always filled with so much personality, and it’s always fun to see where that will take the session. Connor’s bright blue eyes are so dreamy to capture in photographs! Happy 1st Birthday, Little Guy! I hope to see more of you in the next year too!
Grayson is One! - First Birthday Photography
Before Christmas, and in the midst of Holiday Session madness, this little guy turned one! I got to spend some time with him in the studio for his fun little cake smash. He was on the move, crawling all over the place, but the cake caught his interest, and he very calmly examined the icing. Grayson had a First Year Special package with me, so I was able to photograph him as a newborn, 6-month-old, and 1-year-old! It’s been a pleasure watching him grow!
Happy 1st Birthday, Grayson!
Madeline is One! - First Birthday Photography
It’s almost Monday, so I figured what better time to share Miss Madeline’s First Birthday Session, which is guaranteed to put a smile on the face of anyone who views it. Madeline’s session was a blast to photograph. Her parents wanted three distinct looks for her pictures; candid playtime, posed cake smash, and outdoors with family. They were kind enough to let me know what they were looking for, but also let me be creative, which I so appreciate! Her birthday theme is “Some-Bunny is One!” which I absolutely love! Her mom brought the cutest props and outfits for Baby Maddie, including a bunny ear headband, and a perfect bunny ear cake topper! I just love the attention to detail. Plus they brought along the most important thing…Grandma! Grandparents always seem to get the biggest smiles from the babies! Grandma certainly did her job, and I was able to get some adorable smiles from this sweetheart!
These photos are only some of the amazing shots we were able to get from Miss Maddie. She was a complete joy to photograph, and I hope to work with her again! Happy 1st Birthday, Maddie!
Adelyn is 1! - First Birthday Photography
I first met Adelyn when she was still in her mommy’s tummy for her maternity session. I then got to photograph her as a newborn, six-month-old, and now as a sweet one-year-old. I’m sure her parents would agree, the time has flown by! It has been great getting to know her and her family. Adelyn is always dressed so beautifully for her sessions, and never forgets her best accessory…her smile!
Reece is 1! - First Birthday Photography
This little sweetheart is my niece Reece! She was born just a little over two months after her cousin (my son) Dominic, and together they are the sweetest, smiliest, most chill babies ever! They have both taken on that second child mentality of going with the flow because, well, they have no choice with their busy older siblings. It was so fun to be pregnant alongside my sister, and to watch our babies go through their first year together. Now they are both 1, and heading toward many more milestones. The best part is they will reach them side by side. Reece will be celebrating her 1st b-day with a “Bee Day” party this weekend!
I can’t wait to watch you continue to grow, Sweetheart! Aunt C loves you!
Kinsley is 1! - First Birthday Photography
This sweet little darling is ONE, and she is certainly the (pine)apple of Mommy and Daddy’s eye. Kinsley was smiley for her session, and had fun dancing to that hit baby song “Baby Shark!” She also stunned us all when she stood up and took her first steps at the end of the session. So cool to capture such a moment!
Happy 1st Birthday, Kinsley!
Max is One! - First Birthday Photography
Max was so cute for his session, and I love the birthday theme of Curious George! He was so pleasant showing off his adorable teeth with his warm smile. It was fun to work with him! Have a happy birthday, little guy!
Dominic is 1! -First Birthday Photography
Rubber Duckie, you’re the ONE!
The very first time I heard my sweet baby Dominic laugh, he was in the tub laughing at a rubber duck. From that moment on, if we ever needed him to smile for a picture or quit moving so we can change him, we’d quack at him. He finds it hilarious! This led me to plan a “Rubber Duckie” themed first birthday party for him, which I also incorporated into his pictures.
I can’t believe my little big guy is one. Although his first year flew by (second child, right!?), it still hits me hard to know he is graduating from many of the “baby” things, and becoming a curious, head-strong, but oh-so-smiley toddler. He remains extremely easy-going (except when he’s being held still or getting his face wiped), and loves to smile. I mean, this kid smiles at everyone he meets with those 8 adorable chompers. He is such a blessing, and I thank the Lord every day for answering our prayers and giving him to us.
Happy 1st Birthday, Dom! Love you beyond measure!
Ella is One! - First Birthday Photography
I first met Ella when she was still in her mommy’s tummy. It has been such a pleasure to watch her grow from bump, to newborn, to baby, to one-year-old! She served many different looks for her First Birthday Session. She was a boho beauty, pretty in pearls, and precious in her party hat! I love when parents bring a variety of looks to play with for portrait sessions. It makes the pictures so diverse, and gives us a chance to showcase different styles.
Happy Birthday, Sweet Ella!
Harper is One! - First Birthday Photography
It was a Winter ONE-derland with Harper in the studio! The (almost) New Years baby was pretty in her pink tutu fit for the tiniest sugar plum fairy. She is so darling! I’ve enjoyed photographing her brother for the past few years, and am happy to add her to my cute clientele. Happy Birthday, Sweetie!
Louie is One! - First Birthday Photography
Louie’s parents are both teachers, so it was no surprise to me when they came up with the creative First Birthday theme of “Chapter One.” I absolutely love it! I also love the fact that we were able to incorporate Louie’s stuffed wolf into his newborn, six month, and first birthday pictures - especially since Louie’s middle name is Wolfe! So many neat, little details about this shoot. Happy 1st Chapter, Louie! It’s been so fun documenting your first year!
Evelyn is One! - First Birthday Photography
Sweet Evelyn is such a doll! She was the perfect subject for my first session in my new studio space! I love the simple pink, gray, and white color scheme that her mommy chose, and of course, that dress was perfect first birthday attire. Thanks for spending your morning with me, Evie - I hope you have a fun birthday!
Jameson is One! - Adams Twp. First Birthday Photography
It was so fun to document a year of Jameson! His parents opted for the "First Year Special" package, so they were able to get three sessions (Newborn, Six Months, and First Birthday) for the price of two. I always enjoy watching the babies grow throughout their first year. There are always a lot of changes that take place every time I see them, but one thing that remained consistent with Jameson was his adorable red hair and lashes - why do boys always get the good lashes!? He is adorably squeezable, and as sweet as his birthday cake.
Happy 1st Birthday, Jameson!
Braxon is One! - Cranberry Twp. First Birthday Photography
Sweet, little Braxon was so adorable for his First Birthday Session! I first photographed him last summer when he was a little babe who couldn't yet sit up, now he won't sit still! It's so great to see these little ones time and time again growing up to be active and healthy. He was a total cutie for his pictures, and ended the session with a cupcake smash.
Happy 1st Birthday, Braxon!
