Vintage 1st Birthday

May 9, 2025

I’m finally getting a chance to highlight this sweet boy’s first birthday photoshoot! His momma brought some vintage 1st birthday outfits and we started off with some family photos and wrapped up the session with a cake smash. I loved that he kept throwing hands up like he was cheering for himself—he clearly knew we were celebrating him!

Amelia’s Boho Cake Smash

March 28, 2024

Amelia’s first birthday photoshoot was a bit of a boho cake smash with lots of neutrals and earthy tones, and of course an overload of cuteness. Her momma had contacted me several months in advance to book Amelia’s very special 1st birthday session and I was so excited to finally meet this beautiful family! As it often goes with little ones, we never quite know what we’re going to get. I let them take the lead and snapped away. There were some tears, but also lots of the cutest smiles. We started off with family photos, then gave Amelia’s big brothers a break while capturing some parents & baby shots. I cycled through some of my cutest outfits and headbands to add to the variety, then completed her 1st birthday photos with a cake smash and some tub time. After a session packed with a little bit of everything, I hope I captured a gallery her family will cherish forever.

Christmas Birthday Baby | Fallbrook Baby Photographer

December 25, 2023

Being a Christmas Birthday Baby is so special! Adorable Christopher’s momma contacted me several months ago about doing a Christmas themed birthday photoshoot to celebrate his big day — turning one on Christmas! When his session finally rolled around, I couldn’t believe how quickly this year flew by! Getting to incorporate a Christmas theme into this session was so much fun. Christopher got to end the session in my little baby tub which he and every baby LOVES, always making for some cute shots.

Wishing a very happy 1st birthday to Christopher and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Check out Aubrey’s 1st birthday photos! Cutie Aubrey will be turning ONE in January and I loved getting to capture her big milestone!

Isaiah’s 1st birthday! | One and Loved

November 24, 2023

I got to meet adorable little Isaiah last year for his newborn photoshoot, and he has somehow gotten even cuter! He is so handsome with the cutest little smile. His “One and Loved” theme for his one year session and 1st birthday party is one of the best ideas I’ve heard yet.

For one year sessions, I like to start with some portraits, add in some balloons and “ONE” letters, then get to the most fun part with the CAKE! Smashing a cake can get messy, and babies always love it when their parents choose to wrap up the session with some adorable baby tub shots. Isaiah made the whole session a blast and we ended up with so many sweet photos.

Pepper’s Strawberry Cake Smash Photos | Menifee Baby Photographer

October 26, 2023

Pepper’s strawberry cake smash photos were a hit! I was so excited when Penelope aka Pepper’s momma contacted me to schedule her one year photoshoot after getting to do her 6 month photos earlier this year. Her big sis also joined in for some of the fun.

Booking a 1 year photoshoot with me is easy. First, select your session date and time through this link and pay the session fee. Then, fill out my questionnaire so we can work together to customize a session unique to your little one! Cake smash sessions typically start off with portraits (with optional family and/or sibling shots), and end with the cake smash. My favorite way to end a cake smash session is with baby tub photos! Babies absolutely love it. Within two weeks after your session, I’ll email you a password protected gallery from which you’ll select your digital image downloads and/or optional print products. Babies only turn one once — make it extra special with a cake smash photoshoot!

September 15, 2023

Meeting Josie and her parents was such a treat! I had recently bought some butterfly decor for my studio, so I was excited when her momma requested a butterfly theme! This little brown-eyed beauty is so photogenic, and she made creating some beautiful photos for her first birthday a dream.

Dayven’s Lion Wild One Cake Smash

September 14, 2023

Dayven’s Lion Wild One Cake Smash was a hit! Cutie Dayven, his parents and big brother drove to my home studio in Menifee from the Anaheim area for his first birthday cake smash photoshoot. Because he’s a Leo, he had a Wild One lion theme for his session. He was a bit scared of my studio light, and wanted to snuggle his momma a bit, but it all worked out in the end. Enjoy some highlights from this adorable 1st birthday photoshoot!

I had so much fun with Miles’ 1st Birthday Cake Smash! I first met Miles’ family a few years ago when I got to photograph his big sister for HER 1st birthday cake smash. It was so fun to see his momma and big sisters again. Miles is as cute as can be with his blond curls and stunning blue eyes!
