Ballerina Cake Smash Session – 1st Birthday

Ballerina Cake Smash Session – 1st Birthday

This little ballerina was so much fun to have in our studio! Her ballerina cake smash session was amazing, as well as the family portrait session we got to do with her big brothers and mom and dad afterwards. It’s always a great session when the entire family gets involved! Everyone’s outfits were spectacular, especially the one year old birthday girl in her tutu and headband!

I love personality portraits.

Classic outfits, clean backdrops, and each child’s personality shining through in their own way. These sessions feel timeless and are some of my favorites because they capture who your kids are right now, their smiles, their expressions, their quirks.

These are the photos that never go out of style and will mean even more as the years go by.

Six looks so good on her 🎈

We kept this session simple and sweet with a soft pink backdrop and balloons to match her fun personality. Then we brought the whole family in on the white backdrop, even their adorable pup.

I love sessions like this because they show how much personality shines through when the focus stays on your child and the people they love most.

Every one year old is different. Some dive right in, some take their time, and some are not quite sure what to think at first. That is what makes these sessions so fun. You never know what you are going to get.

I love seeing their personalities shine through, especially when parents join in for a few photos at the beginning. It is such a sweet way to celebrate the first year and capture all the joy that comes with it.
