First Birthday

Lifestyle Photographer Columbus Ohio | Grove City Family Session

My newborn clients are coming back to me as ONE year olds and it is too much to handle. This adorable little guy was one of my first newborn clients last year and he has grown into the sweetest little guy. I always love seeing him and his family.

We planned a sunset session on a beautiful farm and it was perfect. Thank you again to this amazing family for being so great!

Turning 1 is a big deal... Ok it's HUGE! You graduate to "toddler" status, get a delicious cake (which you get to smash!), party, and presents! What more could a kid ask for?! 

For parents, turning one means their baby isn't a little baby anymore.. They are growing up!

The first year is so awesome and challenging.. BUT even more amazing and full of love than you could have ever imagined! It goes by at the speed of light.. Everyone warns you it does.. And it really does.

This tiny little human that you once swaddled and could carry around like a football (safely lol) is now a toddling, babbling, super active mini you! And if this is your first child, you have survived  your first year of parenthood and should pat yourself on the back! 

Baby Boy First Birthday

Smash cake sessions are all about celebrating that first year..

Among the many "firsts" that happen during a baby's first 12 months, capturing that FIRST dive into the birthday cake is one of my favorite moments to capture.

I thoroughly enjoyed photographing adorable little Luke as he curiously poked the cake..

Then after a little encouragement, we were rolling!

Nothing like a handful of birthday cake!
