Cowgirl 1st Birthday Cake Smash

Willa’s Cowgirl 1st Birthday Cake Smash

We can always count on this awesome family for the cutest themes! The Cowgirl 1st Birthday theme is sure to be a favorite on Pinterest. We keep saying we should hire her for set design but she’s got her hands full these days 🙂 We loved big brother and sister jumping in to help out with the cake.

Set #2: Giant Birthday Party Balloons

One thing we learned the hard way is there is a helium shortage in SoCal right now! We had to go all over town to find enough helium for these balloons! This set was awesome. I think we will eventually turn it into a custom backdrop 😉

Simple Sophistication

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.

I loved seeing this sweet couple again and their little dog. This year we did the session at  the San Juan Capistrano Mission.

It is such a good reminder to make photos part of your yearly routine. Life changes quickly, and having a collection of portraits over the years tells your story in the best way.
