First Birthday Cake Smash Session

Among the many life milestones that we celebrate, your first birthday is so fun!  First, it means that you’re probably walking or thinking about it which brings so much joy and accomplishment.  Also, you’re starting to explore the world at your own level and discovering new things all the time.  Your first birthday can include a cake smash where Mom and Dad let you just dig your hands into the cake and go to town.  That first taste of the sweet, sweet icing is something to behold.  It’s amazing to watch the discovery of something new.  And to remember that we’re all discovering things our whole lives, just on different levels.  In the end, it’s all about the journey and the first birthday cake smash is a great way to start!

My session with the Soun Family

Another little cutie in front of my camera.  Brother and sister had portraits together to celebrate Riley’s first birthday.  Then she got to have a cake all on her own.  Since we’re still being cautious with Covid, she didn’t get to have a party but she still got to have cake!  And really, that’s what birthdays are all about – CAKE!  When Mom gave her the cake, she didn’t know what to do with it.  She dipped her fingers in the icing but didn’t like the feeling of being dirty so it was a short discovery.  I’m sure that she enjoyed that cake later though, with proper utensils.

What if your brand photos made people feel something—before you even said a word? ✨

Danielle’s branding session wasn’t just about getting updated headshots. It was about stepping fully into her brand—owning her story, her energy, and the impact she makes every day.

As we worked together, I watched her confidence grow with every click of the shutter. She showed up as herself—and the camera loved her for it.

When she saw her final images, her whole face lit up. Because when your photos reflect who you truly are, something powerful happens. You’re not just seen—you’re remembered.

That’s the transformation I want for YOU.

Can you picture it? Can you imagine what it would feel like to see your brand through this lens?

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

If your brand photos aren’t working… it’s probably because they’re not telling the full story. 📖

So many business owners come to me thinking they just need a good headshot. And while that’s a great pace to start—it’s not enough to truly connect with your audience.

When I work with clients on branding sessions, we create a variety of images that show who you are, how you work, and what it’s like to be in your world. Because that’s what people really want to see.

Here are 5 types of brand photos I recommend for every business owner ⬇️

📸 Classic Headshot – Professional and polished, but with personality. Think confident, approachable, and totally on-brand.

📸 Lifestyle – You doing your thing—working on your laptop, taking client calls, sipping coffee. These shots feel natural and authentic (because they are).

📸 Detail or Flat Lay – The close-ups: your hands writing, your products, your favorite pen and planner. These add texture and storytelling to your visuals.

📸 Environment/Context – Your space, your vibe. Whether it’s a cozy home office or a sleek meeting room, it helps clients imagine being there with you.

📸Team or Interaction Shots – Collaborating, problem-solving, laughing. People want to see connection—these images make your brand feel human.

Every image we create is intentional—designed to help your audience picture themselves working with you and to build that all-important trust before they ever reach out.

✨ Ready to show up with confidence and clarity? Let’s make it happen. DM me today to book your FREE consultation.
