Category: Birthday Shoots
I love photographing babies, children, and families, but 1st birthday portraits are definitely one of my favorite times. I had the honor of photographing Gabby and her incredibly cute big sis and parents when she was six months old, and then again shortly after she turned 1 year old! Mom did such a great job on the outfits!! Happy 1st birthday Gabby!

I’m so excited about this baby girl’s 1st birthday studio session! When I get to capture a child’s growth throughout the first year, it is especially fun to reach the one year milestone. As to be expected, Maddie was full of smiles!
Since I hate copying ideas from other photographers and following trends that everyone is doing (I prefer to be unique), I’ve only offered a couple of cake smash sessions within the last few years, and I’ve come up with my own birthday session ideas instead. However, who can resist doing one every once in awhile? Here are some delicious moments of Maddie discovering her sweet, yummy surprise!

My poor little niece, Mollie, was really not feeling well during her 1st birthday session. I had to do a lot of editing to make her appear healthier! At least we still got a few smiles though! It’s been so great to watch you grow up all year sweet Mollie!

Happy 1st birthday to “Q!” This little bundle of fun sure made me exercise during his photo shoot!! I always ask moms if their babies are standing with help, standing alone, or walking before we meet for the session, so I knew I’d be in for some excitement when Q’s mom told me he was actually running! By the end of the shoot, he was pooped, and so was I!
I’m still editing the session, but here’s a (very special) sneak peek!!
Mom told Q she had a surprise, and that she wanted him to help tell everyone about it. He could hardly bear the suspense!
“Hmmm…” he thought. “What could this be?”
“What?!?”
“Surprise! I’m going to be a big brother!!!”
“And now, after all that work, I think I’ll hit the sack…er…the shoulder.”
Congratulations Mom, Dad, and Soon-to-Be Big Brother!! Thanks so much for letting me be part of the surprise reveal!

I had so much fun with “C” and his mom at one of my favorite locations! What a big, infectious smile this little guy has!

My recent 1st birthday session with “S” was officially the windiest day in my professional history of shooting outdoors! The wind was perfect for a balloon ride though!

Since babies and children are my chosen specialties, I get the great honor and joy of photographing a lot of them. However, the most popular ages tend to be between birth and seven years old, twelve years old (before a Bar or Bat Mitzvah), and eighteen (as a high school senior). This time, though, I got to have fun with a cute little girl who is turning ten!! I remember when I turned ten, and how excited I was to be entering the “double digits.” It was nice to see “J’s” nerves slowly melt away as we had fun together. Mom had a great time cuddling and playing with her daughter, and I had a blast boosting “J’s” self-esteem. I hope she knows how adorable she is!

Happy birthday to my adorable niece, Avery!! She is one of the cutest baby girls I know, which isn’t surprising since her parents are both beautiful!
Here are some favorite shots…
This chair is brand new, and I got to see Avery learn how to climb onto it all by herself!!

Once again you’ve brought tears to my eyes and I even haven’t gotten to the gallery. These are AWESOME. Thank you so much for capturing our baby girl’s 1st year! The one picture makes me laugh where it looks like she is holding on to the basket as it is going to lift off. Of course I could comment on all of them as I love them all. What a special time for us and now we have these great pictures. Thanks again!
I’m so happy that I brought tears to your eyes again Jennifer!! 🙂 Thank you so much!
Neshama, the song you choose for her gallery of pictures is just beautiful (and of course brings happy tears to my eyes every time I watch). I love them all and it’s hard to have a favorite but DS2221E1 is just perfect and so glad you were able to capture it. I’ll contact you soon to set up an appt to order and go through options of different prints in the next week, hard decisions here that is for sure. Thanks again and you did an awesome job!
I try to choose the perfect songs! I love that look in 2221 also!! Looking forward to meeting up soon!
Absolutely LOVE!!!
What great pictures of our little Granddaughter, you have captured all of her expressions. They are wonderful! My most prized possessions are pictures of my kids and my grandchildren.
I’m so happy you love the photos Kathy! Thank you!!
