1st Birthday Cake Smash for 2nd Baby Girl | Temecula Valley Photographer

01.18.2026

One of the greatest compliments as a photographer is when families return again and again. I had the privilege of photographing both of these adorable girls as newborns and again for their first birthday photos. Baby T’s mama was worried she wouldn’t cooperate, but she proved us wrong and packed SO much personality into her 1st birthday cake smash!

If you’re searching for a Temecula Valley photographer, whether it’s for newborn photos, baby milestone pics, 1st birthday photos (with or without a cake smash), in-studio family or maternity photos, check out my booking page or contact me! I would love to help capture a piece of your family’s story.

Now back to these sweet sisters — seeing their bond was the cutest thing ever. I got to capture their interactions, individual portraits of each of them, along with classic first birthday cake smash photos to mark this precious milestone. Enjoy some favorites!

3rd Birthday Photos: Portraits, Christmas Magic & Milestone Memories

12.08.2025

I’ve been photographing beautiful Kamila since she was only 2 months old, and I love getting to see her grow each year. Her 3rd birthday photos were packed with a little bit of everything — Christmas pics, portraits, showing off her Halloween costume (her birthday is actually in October), and more.

Celebrate Your Child’s Birthday With a Photoshoot

If your child has a birthday coming up, now is the perfect time to schedule a special photoshoot to celebrate. These sessions beautifully capture who they are right now—before another year of growth and change arrives.

3rd Birthday Photoshoot | Menifee Kids Photographer

12.07.2025

One of my favorite things about my job is getting to watch little ones grow. This cutie celebrated her big day with a 3rd birthday photoshoot, and it’s extra special because I’ve been so lucky to photograph her throughout her first year and every year after that—starting when she was just 4 months old. She has the cutest personality and smile and I’m always so excited to capture new photos for her family.

These milestone sessions are a beautiful way to freeze time before the next stage arrives all too quickly. Any parent knows how fast these early years fly, and documenting them consistently makes the memories even sweeter. And for me, being trusted to document these milestones is such an honor.

This little girl’s yearly sessions have become such a sweet tradition—and I love that I get to help preserve her story one chapter at a time.

Newborn & Family Photos + Big Sister’s 2nd Birthday

09.22.2025

As a newborn and family photographer, one of my greatest joys is getting to watch families grow and celebrate their little ones’ special milestones. This beautiful family welcomed a new baby boy this summer, and to make it even sweeter, we also celebrated big sister’s 2nd birthday during the same photoshoot! Capturing newborn and family photos along with birthday photos was such a treat.

I first photographed this family last year for their little girl’s first birthday session, so it was extra special to see her again and capture how much she’s grown. And now she has a new role as a big sister! She is such a little beauty, and her new baby brother is too cute.

If you’re welcoming a newborn or celebrating a milestone like a little one’s birthday, I’d love to capture these memories for your family!

Big Sister’s 5th Birthday + Baby Brother’s Newborn Photoshoot

09.13.2025

Sharing this session is long overdue, but I couldn’t miss it because it was so special—a newborn photoshoot for their sweet baby boy combined with his big sister’s 5th birthday portraits. I was extra excited for this session after meeting their beautiful family last year for big sister’s 4th birthday photos!

Celebrating Two Milestones in One Session

When families welcome a new baby, it’s also a big moment for siblings. This proud big sister was turning five, and it was the perfect opportunity to celebrate her milestone alongside her baby brother’s first portraits. I loved that their brother in the middle was so extra sweet with his baby brother. It was so precious to see the new bond between them.

Combining sessions is a wonderful way to capture both occasions in one sitting, creating a gallery full of meaningful images you’ll treasure for years to come. For big sister’s 5th birthday photos, we made sure she had her own time in the spotlight. Five is such a fun age!

Sibling & Family Photos

These kinds of sessions go beyond just newborn photography. They capture the growing connections in your family—how siblings welcome the newest member, and how each child’s milestones weave together. In this case, the gallery told a beautiful story of new beginnings and growing up, side by side.

Sisters Photoshoot | Menifee Kids Photographer

There’s something so special about the bond between sisters—and this duo made their sisters photoshoot so much fun from the moment they stepped in front of the camera. Big sister kept telling her little sister how cute she looked — it was so sweet! They both looked absolutely adorable. Big sister is turning 5 this summer, and we couldn’t let the moment pass without snapping a few birthday portraits to celebrate the occasion.
