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!

Do you wear glasses all the time? Then they should absolutely be in your headshot.

Because here’s the thing—your headshot should look like you.

If you wear them only sometimes, it’s up to you. But if they’re part of your everyday look, don’t leave them out just because you’re worried about glare.

There are plenty of ways I can minimize reflection—and yes, I’ve got a few creative tricks up my sleeve if needed. 😉

Let’s keep your session real, honest, and true to how you actually show up in the world.

Let’s talk color ⬇️

If your brand photos are going on your website, what you wear matters more than you might think.

We want your outfit to complement your brand—not compete with it. That’s why I always ask:

Is your site mostly white with a bold pop of color? Let’s find an outfit that matches or plays off that palette beautifully.

☑️ Solid colors > busy patterns
☑️ Neutrals + strategic color choices keep the focus on you
☑️ Brand alignment = polished, professional, intentional

Planning a branding session?

Let’s make sure your photos and website tell a cohesive story—from color to composition.
“What should I wear for my headshot?” — it’s one of the most common questions I get before a session.

Here’s my take: Start with your industry standard. What would you wear to meet a client or walk into a networking event? Then, think about how you want to show up—polished, approachable, confident?

Some clients show up in yoga pants (hey, no judgment!), but your headshot should reflect how you want to be seen professionally. A little extra effort goes a long way in making the right first impression. ✨
