First birthdays are one of my favorite milestones to photograph. At one year old, little ones are so full of surprises and parents are brimming with excitement to celebrate their baby’s first birthday. It’s such a sweet occasion and it’s hard not to smile when I’m editing the images.

I love the curiosity that this sweet girl has for this book and how mom and dad are so enjoying sharing it with her.

Getting this cutie pie to smile was effortless with her mommy and daddy at her side.

So loved!

kisses!

We started this session at 7:30 a.m., what a great start to the day!

I love moments like these that aren’t real contenders for being framed and hung on the wall, but they show the sweet interaction that happened even when this family wasn’t looking at the camera.
