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!
This 6 month session was short and sweet, and this beautiful baby girl was SO expressive I ended up with so many adorable shots. She has grown so much since her newborn photoshoot!
This little dude’s mama came prepared with a custom birthday banner, his dad’s baby blanket, and some of his dad’s motorcycle gear. She also brought some 1st birthday donuts as an alternative to a cake smash. I love when families bring personal touches to make their little one’s 1st birthday photos that much more special and unique to them.
And of course, the icing on the cake (or in this case…donuts!) was capturing the cutest portraits of this happy, growing boy.
A halfway to one photoshoot for this little guy! Actually he’s about 75% on the way to one now, as I’m always behind on posting, but better late than never!
It felt like just yesterday I was photographing this sweet baby boy’s newborn session, and again at six months—and before I knew it he and his parents were back to celebrate his first birthday with a cake smash session!
It’s always such an honor to document these milestones for families, and watching little ones grow from tiny newborns into curious, expressive toddlers is something I never take for granted. Enjoy some highlights from his 1st birthday photoshoot!
This sweet baby boy came in for his 6 month milestone session just shy of the half-year mark—and he was already sitting up like a pro! It’s always so fun to see babies at this stage with their personalities in full swing, and he didn’t disappoint. He gave me so many adorable expressions and smiles to capture lots of great portraits. Check out how much he has grown since his newborn session!
These halfway to one sessions are all about freezing the fleeting baby days before they move on to the next big thing. And since this session was a few months ago, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already crawling everywhere by now—maybe even taking his first steps!
Watching these little ones grow is one of the best parts of what I do. Can’t wait to see what the next milestone brings for him!
There’s something so special about meeting families who have just welcomed a new little one. This post is long overdue, but worth the wait. This little guy’s dad is a firefighter, so I got to incorporate his gear into the session. To add icing on the cake, I also got to capture the sweetest sibling photos. If big sister looks familiar, it’s because I got to capture her 1st birthday photos a couple years ago. She was so cooperative which isn’t usually the case with toddlers! To further the deja vu, I’ve also been so lucky to photograph his cousins’ newborn photos (their daddy is also a firefighter).
Happy Valentine’s Day! I had a blast doing a Valentine Themed 1st Birthday Photoshoot for this beautiful little February baby! Her mini cake smash session turned out so cute.

Why 6 Month Baby Photos Are Worth It
6 months is such an important milestone to capture your baby’s rapid development and unique personality. At this stage of life, babies have become more interactive, mobile, and expressive.
There are so many reasons why you should consider booking a 6-month photo session:
1. Capturing a fleeting stage: Babyhood goes by quickly, just 12 short months. Multiple photo sessions during the first year document growth and provide lasting memories.
2. Emergence of personality: At six months, your baby’s unique personality is shining through in full force. Capturing it is priceless.
3. Gummy grins and giggles: Six-month-olds often have adorable gummy smiles, giggles, and a fascination with their toes. It’s a great time to document those chubby thighs and wrists before they disappear as your baby becomes more mobile. While not all babies sit unsupported at 6 months, it’s a great portrait pose when they can sit upright.
4. Developmental milestones: At this age, babies are often sitting up, rolling over, and may be close to crawling. These milestones make for amazing photos, and at this age, babies are not yet so active that they’re constantly on the move, making them easier to photograph.
A 6-month photo session is an investment in capturing a precious and fleeting time in your baby’s life. You’ll never regret having beautiful images to look back on!
This handsome little guy is a huge fan of The Greatest Showman, and his mom brought him in wearing an adorable circus outfit for his first birthday photoshoot. He especially loved the little chair I sat him in, and his laugh is absolutely adorable!
