I got to see this beautiful baby on her actual first birthday, and I was so excited to work with her again for her 1st birthday cake smash! Her newborn session was filled to the brim with favorites, and her first birthday photos were just as fun.

Mari visited for her first birthday!

February 17, 2021

Looking for a first birthday photographer? Even though Mari’s family moved out of state, I got to document her first birthday when they came to town to visit. She was such an adorably tiny newborn, it was so fun to see how much she has grown. She was so funny about her cake and much more interested in trying to eat the flowers!

Rhees’ 9 month photos | Murrieta baby photographer

September 15, 2020

If this little beauty looks familiar, it’s because I’ve been SO lucky to get to photograph her as a newborn, 3 month old, 6 month old, and now 9 months as she is on my 3 month milestone plan! I don’t know if it was the new pigtails she was sporting, but she looked SO much older! Her mom said she started a funny new expression which she kept giving the camera throughout the session. She is always such a blast to photograph…enjoy!
