First Birthday Photos at the Beach

When your little one is approaching their first birthday it is an exciting time for the whole family!


Their first year is filled with so many milestones and growth it's hard not to be excited.


When planning a first birthday photoshoot many families want a little cake smash included. Seeing their sweet babe covered in frosting is a photo many love. Granted, not all one year old's love their first cake as much as parents envisioned, but it still makes for a super sweet session.


This wonderful family started and ended the first year with beach sunrise sessions!


I met them last year, for Mr. A's outdoor newborn photoshoot on a local beach at sunrise and it was GORGEOUS.


So, when they wanted a beach sunrise session for the first birthday photos it just makes sense.


As a family photographer, I love celebrating all these milestones with my family photography clients. I am definitely blessed to be asked by so many to capture such a special time.
