Baby Girl's First Year in Photos: From Newborn to First Birthday


A Deluxe Newborn Session: Newborn Photos with Family

Welcoming a new baby into the family is such an incredibly special experience, and I loved meeting this beautiful little one and her family. She was absolutely precious, with the most stunning eyelashes and the sweetest little dimples—so perfect she almost didn't seem real.


In addition to individual newborn portraits, I also captured family photos with her parents and big brother. It was so special to document those early family moments together as they adjusted to life with their newest addition.

I also loved that she was awake for part of the session, allowing me to capture some wide-eyed, sweet expressions that showed off her emerging personality.

Six Month Mini Session

I was so excited when her mama brought her back for a sweet and simple 6-month Mini Baby Session, and she had grown so much! She wasn’t quite sitting independently yet, which is very normal at this age, so I kept her mostly on her tummy and back. She was able to sit briefly with some sort in my little baby chair that is so very popular with my little clients.


Her sweet features and bright smiles made every photo shine...and seriously, those eyes and lashes!!


Six month photos are such a meaningful way to document that special halfway to one milestone, where so much growth and development has taken place since birth. It’s that in-between stage where babies are no longer tiny newborns—just perfectly in the middle of so much change.

Little Princess Celebrating Her First Birthday with a Pink & Gold Cake Smash

I was so happy to welcome this beautiful little girl back to the studio to celebrate her first birthday with a dreamy pink and gold cake smash photoshoot. From her soft curls to her perfectly sweet expressions, she was pure joy to photograph—and those gorgeous, long lashes beautifully frame every little smile.


I began the session with classic birthday portraits, where she showed off just how much she has grown over the past year. The pink and gold theme added the perfect touch of softness and sparkle, creating a timeless and feminine setup that suited her perfectly. One of the most endearing parts of her session was how much she loved snuggling the stuffed animals in the studio. And of course, the session wrapped up with a celebratory cake smash which she absolutely loved.
