First Birthday Photos

Baby’s first birthday is an exciting celebration!  He is just beginning little bits of independence like walking and trying different foods.  Parents are seeing a glimpse of a little person developing instead of the baby that they have known for this past year.  Whether you’re celebrating with a full party or just family, baby’s first birthday is a milestone to document.  You’ll want to remember this age and stage – still tiny but growing so fast right before your eyes.  Hire a professional photographer to capture baby and the family so you can hold onto these memories.  Years from now (maybe when he’s grown), he will thank you for making him feel so special and loved.

First Birthday Photoshoot with Trystyn

Oh my, the cuteness!  Trystyn’s first birthday photos were an absolute blast to photograph!  I told his Moms that we would have access to a tiny John Deere tractor for the photoshoot.  Trystyn came dressed in tiny Wrangler jeans, button-down shirt, belt, cowboy boots, and cowboy hat.  Perfection!  In one of the images, it actually looks like Trystyn is fixing his tractor.  He had a great time playing with it too.  He was all smiles and clapping for our photos!  Trystyn was ready for everything from the tractor to the fire engine to the airplane.  They all needed to be fixed and he could play with them while I photographed him.  Let’s do that again sometime, buddy!

One day, this will be a memory. Don’t miss capturing it.

Senior year has a way of slipping by faster than you expect… and before you know it, they’re graduating.

These photos aren’t just for now—they’re something you’ll look back on for years to come, remembering exactly who they were in this moment.

If you’ve been putting it off, this is your reminder—time is running out and spots are limited.

Shutter speed is one of those things that feels confusing… until it clicks. 😉📸

For headshots, you don’t need anything complicated — just a solid, consistent range and an understanding of how your lighting plays into it.

If you’re a new photographer trying to figure all of this out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you get started — from gear to posing and more.

Most people step in front of the camera thinking, “I have no idea what to do.”

That’s where I come in.

Every small adjustment you see here — posture, hands, angles — is intentional. It’s what turns a quick headshot into something confident and professional.

If you want to learn the poses I rely on most, I put together a guide breaking them down.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.

You don’t.

A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.

📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.

It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.
