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!

I hear this all the time — and the good news is, you don’t need to👇🏻

Guiding you through posing, angles, and expressions is literally my job.

During every session, I give clear, simple direction so you never feel awkward or unsure of what to do next.

My goal is to help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident — because that’s when you look your best. 

You’re never expected to “perform” or figure it out on your own. I’ll position you in ways that highlight your best features and feel natural to you.

All you need to do is show up. I’ll take care of the rest.

Your face is the star of your headshot — and how your hair frames it makes all the difference. ✨

Here's what most people miss: hair should frame your features, not compete with them.

✨ Thicker hair? Pull it back to highlight your face. 

✨ Thinner hair? Bring it forward for balance and dimension.

Small adjustments like this help your headshot truly reflect you — confident, polished, and professional.

The goal is simple: when someone sees your photo, they see YOU. Your personality, your confidence, your energy — all in one image.

📩 Want guidance on how to make your headshot look and feel its absolute best?

— we’re taking you even deeper behind the scenes. 📸

The posing cues, lighting tweaks, and real-time direction aren’t just “nice touches” — they’re what turn great shots into professional branding assets you’ll actually use.

Branding sessions aren’t just about photos. They’re about creating a library of content that elevates your website, social media, and marketing materials — all while staying true to your personality and brand energy.

My clients are always surprised by how effortless it feels when guidance, strategy, and personality come together on camera. 

You don’t need to be a model — you just need to show up. I’ll handle the rest.

Here's why a branding session should be on your 2026 business to-do list:👇🏼

Fresh professional photos aren't just about looking polished (though that's nice too). 

Think about it: Your website needs updated imagery. Your social media needs consistent visuals. Your email signature needs a current headshot. Your speaking proposals need professional photos. Your media kit needs variety.

Without a strategic branding session, you're either:

❌ Using the same 3 photos on repeat (hello, stale feed)

❌ Scrambling with last-minute iPhone selfies that don't match your brand

❌ Wasting time every month trying to create new content

A solid branding session gives you dozens of professional images you can pull from all year long. Different backgrounds, different outfits, different vibes—all ready to go when you need them.

Stop recreating the wheel every time you need a visual. Get it done once, use it everywhere.

Ready to stock your content vault? Let's talk strategy.

Behind every great brand photo is a whole lot of collaboration, laughter, and intention.

You don’t need to be a model—you need a photographer who knows how to guide, coach, and bring out the energy that aligns with your brand.

In Part 2 of Danielle’s mic’d-up session, we’re showing more behind-the-scenes of what it really looks like when strategy and personality come together on camera.

✨ This is branding photography done with purpose.
