From sweet little portraits to the messiest cake smash moments… documenting your baby’s first birthday is always such a special milestone 🤍
We always begin our sessions with timeless baby portraits before moving into the cake smash portion so you have a beautiful mix of classic memories and playful moments to look back on forever.
One of the questions I get asked most often is - when should I book my baby’s first birthday session?
Truthfully… earlier than you think 🤍
The ideal time is usually when baby is around 10–11 months old to allow enough time for editing and preparing your images before their birthday celebrations.
It’s also the sweetest stage to capture - babies tend to be a little more cooperative before teething, growth spurts, changing nap schedules, and those busy toddler milestones begin ✨
Wondering when is the best time to schedule your child’s first birthday session?
Drop a 🤍 in the comments and I’ll DM you all the info so you can decide with confidence.
