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!

Had some friends over for a small galentines Favorite things party.
There is no perfect time.

I hear this all the time from parents:
“We should wait until things calm down.”
“We just need to get through this week.”
“Maybe next season…”

But the truth is, there’s always something. Schedules stay full. Kids stay unpredictable. The moments worth remembering rarely wait until everything’s just right.

The beauty of these sessions is that they work with real life - as it is. No matching outfits, no rushing to catch golden hour, no pressure for perfection. Just your child, being themselves. And that? That’s what lasts.

This season is enough. Your child, just like this, is worth remembering.

Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here.
I’m so lucky to be doing life with @briangilmore I love you so much! Happy birthday old man 💕💕💕
