This baby girl recently celebrated 1st birthday, and we cannot believe it’s already been a full year since we took her newborn photos!

There’s something truly magical about a child’s first birthday. It marks a significant milestone in their life, and as parents, we want to cherish and celebrate this momentous occasion. While traditionally a first birthday party is held on the actual day, sometimes circumstances call for a little flexibility.

Every parent knows that time seems to fly by, especially during the first year of a child’s life. It’s no wonder then that many parents opt to schedule their child’s first birthday session before the actual day. In the case of the little one we recently photographed, her parents wanted to have the images ready and printed for the party. And that’s completely okay! The joy of capturing those precious moments can happy on any date! So whether you choose to celebrate on the day itself or a little earlier, the memories captured will be just as special. Shhh, they won’t know and we won’t tell.

Cake Smash

One of my favorite things to capture for a 1st birthday is the cake smash! It is always so much fun to watch the reaction as they dig into the delicious sugary cake. It’s a moment that’s both hilarious and heartwarming, and it makes for some truly priceless photographs. They encapsulate your child’s genuine expressions of pure joy and happiness as they savor the taste of the cake. It’s an opportunity to freeze time and capture the delight that comes with this milestone event.
