Every once in a while I step outside the studio. Not often, but just enough to keep things interesting.
This little guy first came to see me for his newborn session, after we photographed his mama’s maternity portraits. And now here we are celebrating his first birthday. Getting to see babies grow from tiny newborns into curious little humans in just one year is one of the best parts of this work.
For his birthday session we did something a little different and photographed everything right in their living room. Mom created the sweetest backdrop on the wall that said “It’s fun to be 1,” and she even made the cake herself. The whole setup felt so personal and joyful.
And can we talk about the size of him? The last time I saw him he fit perfectly in my arms. Now he’s already wearing 2T clothes. One year moves at lightning speed.
Stepping outside the studio like this is always a fun creative challenge, and getting to celebrate these chapters with families I’ve photographed from the very beginning makes it even more meaningful.
