First birthdays are such a special milestone! Last month I had the honor of photographing the Daniels family again, and it was EXACTLY on Baby H’s first birthday! We had SO much fun capturing lots of snuggles and smiles, and there were so many cute moments. I love how Baby H would start laughing when his dad, Mitch, would start making a deep, hearty laugh (that’s how we got a lot of these smiles!). I also loved capturing photos of Baby H waving his hand to say hi or bye! I remember my niece doing the same thing around this age, and it’s seriously the CUTEST thing! We also incorporated the blue sweater that Kirah knitted, and also included his stuffed Hobbes in the shoot (you may recall seeing them at their maternity shoot and newborn shoot). I love it when families incorporate special items into the shoot! It makes the photos even more meaningful.

Enjoy scrolling through my favorite highlights below, and happy birthday again to Baby H!

Babies change SO much within the first year, and it’s so important to capture their growth when they’re still little! It’s worth everything to have memories of their development because this time is so fleeting. Ilec got in touch with me to capture nine month photos of Baby S, and it was such an honor to capture this special time! Baby S was a very happy and smiley baby, and it was so endearing to see how happy she was playing with her mom, dad, and Ami the dog! There were so many playful, silly, and fun moments, and one of my favorite photos was capturing Baby S sitting on Ami—she was all smiles and absolutely loved it! Ami was also such a friendly family dog, and seeing the way they all interacted and played with each other was so fun! :) As you may know, I’m all about capturing candid and genuine moments—there’s something so beautiful about capturing the authenticity of the moment. It’s real and honest, and truly showcases your story as a family. Enjoy getting to know this wonderful family and seeing more highlights below!

I had the honor of capturing this sweet girl’s first birthday recently! We had SO much fun capturing her mermaid theme party, which included portraits with her beautiful mommy and a cake smash! Every child reacts so differently when eating their first cake, and this baby girl showed curiosity and excitement! She first poked the cake with her fingers, then went face-first into the cake! It was ADORABLE, hilarious, and oh so cute! When we took the cake away (because we thought she was done eating!) she looked so sad and was about to cry. We gave it back to her and she happily put her face into the cake again! :) See more cute moments and highlights below!

Y’all, even though there is a pandemic happening in our world, memories still need to be captured. As you may be considering doing a photo shoot or not, please know your safety is important to me. I am committed to keeping you and your family safe during sessions, which means we will practice good social distancing and there will be no contact during the photo shoot. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for a complimentary consultation if you’d like to discuss more about my approach and methods!
