2nd Birthday Photoshoot | California Kids Photographer

03.27.2026

Birthday Photoshoot: Mini Session vs Deluxe Baby or Child Session:

Birthday mini sessions are perfect for busy families who want beautiful, professional photos without committing to a full session. These sessions are short, simple, and designed to highlight your child’s unique personality. This beautiful family opted for my Deluxe Child Session so they could include a variety of photos including family, parent, and sibling photos for their handsome little man’s 2nd birthday! They made it extra unique because instead of a classic cake smash, they brought PIZZA which he apparently loves to make with his family.

Whether your little one is turning one or ten, a birthday photoshoot is a wonderful way to:

Capture milestone moments
Create keepsake images for family and friends
Document your child’s growth year after year
Celebrate in a fun, relaxed environment

From classic portraits to playful setups, each session is customized to match your child’s personality.

Upgrade Your Experience: Deluxe & Mini Sessions for Any Occasion

While birthday minis are a popular choice, you’re not limited to just one type of session. You can also book:

Mini Sessions
Perfect for quick updates, milestone moments, or seasonal portraits. These are ideal if you want a handful of beautiful images in a short amount of time.

Deluxe Sessions
Looking for something more in-depth? Deluxe sessions allow for more time, outfit changes, and a wider variety of images. These are perfect for:

Cake smash sessions
Sibling and family portraits
Holiday photos
Special milestones and celebrations

No matter the occasion, there’s a session option that fits your needs.

5th Birthday Photos | Golden Birthday {5 on the 5th!}

05.09.2025

This little beauty celebrated her Golden Birthday (5 years old on the 5th of May), and I had so much fun capturing some sweet photos of her with her cutie little sister and beautiful mama.

Rylie’s 4th birthday photoshoot

08.05.2024

Happy birthday Rylie! Rylie’s 4th birthday photoshoot couldn’t have been more perfect because she is an absolute doll. She walked in and said “My name is Rylie. I’m ready for my photos!”. After raising my own 3 kids and working with little ones for many years, I’m confident to say 4 years old is hands down the cutest age ever, and Rylie proved that point in spades.

I started off with taking photos of her beautiful family. Her little brother is two years old, which is always the trickiest age to photograph, but it all worked out! It was also fun getting shots of just Rylie and each of her parents to capture the bond each of them have. She and her brother loved playing with the balloons I had set up, and I made sure to get as many portraits of beautiful Rylie as she’d allow (which were many, because she was so cooperative, expressive, and as cute as can be).

While I mainly work with infants, I always love when clients contact me to schedule photos for their children as they grow! Every child is so special and unique, and a birthday is an especially fun time to book a photoshoot to celebrate. I highly recommend reaching out to discuss scheduling a special photoshoot for your little one(s)! Read more about my Child Photography Sessions here.

Tatum’s 4th birthday | Menifee Child Photographer

04.23.2024

I got meet Tatum last year for her baby sister’s 1st birthday photos, and I was thrilled when her momma reached out again to schedule big sister Tatum’s 4th birthday photoshoot. Tatum’s birthday is coming up in May, and her mom wanted to make sure we captured this special milestone. Her mom also wanted to include some family photos, and what a gorgeous family they are! As the session drew to a close, we let Tatum be herself to dance and have fun — 4 years old is such a fun age!

I love meeting families and their little ones — if you’re looking for a child photographer in the Menifee area, contact me! Read more about my child sessions here.

I’ve been so lucky to photograph sweet H since he was a newborn. Two year olds are notoriously tricky to photograph, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun! I followed this cutie around as he played his little heart out and I enjoyed his toddler photoshoot as much as he loved his cars and trucks!
