Sneak Peek 1st Birthday Session {St. Louis Baby Photographer} Firefly Universe Fine Portrait Photography

November 23, 2012 · Birthday Shoots, Growing Babies

It only happens about two times per year that I have a chance to actually get a sneak peek posted, so I am very excited to show this one!  1st birthday portraits are definitely one of my favorite sessions, and I just had to get a few photos up of this beautiful baby girl!!  She came from out of town for Thanksgiving, and I was given the amazing honor of photographing her while she was here (I also got to hang with her mom, dad, grandma, and even an uncle during the shoot).  She is even more adorable than she was when I took her 10 week old photos!!

Birthday Photo Shoot {St. Louis Children's Photographer} Firefly Universe Fine Portrait Photography

November 21, 2012 · Birthday Shoots, Kiddos, Snapshots

I had one of my favorite sessions today, a 1 year old birthday shoot! When I got home, who do you think reaped the benefits? My kiddos, of course! “L” was extra excited to bring the balloons inside to show her brother and sister, but I had to grab a few snapshots of her before she ran away with them!!

Adorable Red Headed Brothers! {St. Louis Children's Photographer} Firefly Universe Fine Portrait Photography

November 9, 2012 · Birthday Shoots, Family Bonds, Growing Babies, Kiddos

Here is one of my favorite families!!! They moved away from St. Louis, but continue to come back to visit every three months. I’ve spent the last year taking mostly Baby “O’s” photographs as he grew, and I finally got a chance to have some fun with “L” again too! Look at those adorable red curls! These two are so cute together…

Awesome job on the outfits and accessories Mom!!

Mom brought some cute mason jars, apple cider, and mustache straws from “O’s” birthday party…

“L” didn’t want to sit alone on the bench, especially without that cupcake he was promised for getting his picture taken!

But things got better once he had a fancy straw and a drink with his family.

And here’s the big one year old!!

Happy birthday “O!”  Mom, Dad, and “L,” it was great to see you again!

    They are precious, aren’t they! Even though they are my grandsons and daughter and son-in-law, I am not a bit biased. Truly they are a beautibul family, inside and out. Juju

1st Birthday Girl! {St. Louis Baby Photographer} Firefly Universe Fine Portrait Photography

October 5, 2012 · Birthday Shoots, Growing Babies

I sure love 1st birthday portrait sessions!  And, oh my, do I love little “K” in her vintage style lace outfit!!  I could just gobble up those little cheeks and toes!

I actually started off with TWELVE balloons (two bouquets of six balloons), but five of my balloons popped!!  I still love these photos though!

I think this is my favorite of the whole shoot!!

1st Birthday Girl! {St. Louis Baby Photographer} Firefly Universe Fine Portrait Photography

July 31, 2012 · Birthday Shoots, Growing Babies

Happy 1st birthday “N!”  It was a pleasure and an honor to meet you and your sweet parents, and to be able to take your birthday portraits!

It appears that “N” didn’t like her birthday hat…

Luckily she left this cute hat on for a little longer…

But it wasn’t too much longer.

Accepting Chaos {St. Louis Family Portrait Photographer} Firefly Universe Fine Portrait Photography

July 12, 2012 · Birthday Shoots, Family Bonds, Growing Babies, Kiddos

A few years back, I took some beautiful maternity portraits for this family, and then along came a baby boy.  That baby boy was showered with love and cuddles, and his parents got his photos taken every three months, like good parents should.  A couple years after that, however, their lives were turned upside down.  This adorable little family found out they were having triplets!  Someone bought them a session from a different photographer as a gift, so I, unfortunately, did not get to take the newborn portraits.  Mom called me right away and scheduled a session.  However, when the day came for me to go to their house, Mom had forgotten I was coming!  Everyone in the house was sick…reeeaally sick!!!  I won’t include the details, but it was bad.  Months later, Mom was finally able to get her toddler, three babies, hubby, and two helpers out of the house for another photo shoot.  I’ll admit that this was definitely a challenging session!!  I think I still got some cute shots…

I call this little series “Leaf Thief.”

Meanwhile…big brother needed some hugs from Mommy and Daddy while his sister hashed out who deserved the leaf.

And here are a few 1st birthday shots!

Mom, I love that you’ve learned to “accept chaos,” and wish I knew how to do the same!!  Thanks so much for trusting that I could capture some good memories for you!

“O” Sibling Portraits {St. Louis Children’s Portrait Photographer} Firefly Universe Fine Portrait Photography

May 29, 2012 · Birthday Shoots, Growing Babies, Kiddos

I had a lot of fun running around with these two birthday boys!  “H” was turning 3 and his little brother “L” was turning 1!

I’ve caught this shot at weddings, but this was the first time I’ve ever captured it during a children’s portrait session.  I love “H’s” little hands guarding his eyes while mom fixes his hair!

These balloons were actually for “L’s” 1st birthday, but “H” loved them too, and since he was turning 3, I thought, why not let them share?

And we finished off the shoot with some bubble fun!  “L” was pretty tired at this point, but somehow mustered up the energy to chase a few bubbles!  And, as you can see, “H” still had plenty of energy for bubble smashing!

I had a great time with you guys!  I hope you had wonderful birthdays!!

Sisters {St. Louis Children's Photographer} Firefly Universe Fine Portrait Photography

May 22, 2012 · Birthday Shoots, Growing Babies, Kiddos

Happy 1st birthday to “H!” I can’t believe how fast time has gone by since I last saw you for your 3 month photos!! You are such a sweet, happy girl. I’m both excited and nervous about the next time we see each other because if you are anything like your big sister, I will really have my work cut out for me when you know how to run with her!

April 12, 2012 · Birthday Shoots, Growing Babies

I had such a great time with this little cutie on her 1st birthday photo shoot!  Here are a few of my favorites…

And now for the real fun!

She really had a blast when an audience began to grow…

And even made sure to blow kisses at the end of her performance!
