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!

✨ The love that filled your home
📸 Moments of connection and joy 
💛 Your family's unique story

These aren't just photos for today — they're legacy images your kids will always look back on. Photos they'll treasure. Photos they'll show their own children someday.

I hear it all the time… ⬇️

“I want to lose a little weight first.”
“I’ll do it after I get my hair done.”
“I just don’t feel ready yet.”

But the truth is… most people never feel 100% ready.
And that’s okay.

You don’t need to be “perfect” to show up confidently.
You just need the right space, the right support, and someone behind the camera who sees you as you are—right now.

✨ If this is the sign you’ve been waiting for… I’d love to help.
Here’s the truth 👇🏻

I have two business degrees — everything I’ve learned about photography came from hands-on experience and in-person workshops.

If you’re starting a headshot business or stepping into photography, here’s my biggest advice:

✨ Join local and national photography organizations

✨ Invest in in-person workshops

✨ Learn by doing, not just watching

Online resources are great, but there’s no substitute for seeing another photographer set up lighting, work with models, and handle real scenarios. You figure out what works for you by trying it yourself.

Because at the end of the day, your style is yours — and you only find it through practice.

✨ Seniors — it’s YOUR year! ✨

Your senior portraits should feel like you — not just another cookie-cutter session. That means:

🕶️ Bring your sunglasses
👟 Rock your favorite sneakers
🎸 Grab your instrument, your dog, or even your best friend

Let’s add personality, attitude, and fun so your session is unforgettable. Because these aren’t just photos — they’re memories you’ll look back on for years to come. 💛
