My Rookie Year Cake Smash | Canyon Lake 1st Birthday Photography

I first met this cute boy's big sister for her first birthday photoshoot. It was such a fun session, and I was honored when their momma contacted me again to photograph this sweet boy's newborn session. His dad is a firefighter, so I loved getting to incorporate his firefighter gear into the newborn session. Fast forward one year, and it was time to celebrate his very first birthday with an adorable baseball-themed "My Rookie Year" cake smash session. He knocked it out of the park!


If you're looking for a Canyon Lake 1st birthday photographer, I'd love to help you celebrate your little one's milestone. My studio is located on the border of Menifee in a community called Audie Murphy Ranch, just a stone's throw away from Canyon Lake. Whether you're planning a themed cake smash session, family portraits, or a simple birthday photoshoot, I can help you preserve these memories with beautiful portraits of your little one and family.


Many families begin with newborn photos and return to celebrate with first birthday photos, the perfect way to capture how much your little one changes during that first year. It’s always so special and surreal to see newborn clients return for their one-year photoshoot—the change in just twelve months is truly amazing.


Ready to book your little one's newborn or first birthday photos? I specialize in newborn, baby milestone, cake smash, and child photography for families throughout Canyon Lake, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Murrieta, Temecula, Wildomar, and surrounding Southern California communities.
