Birdie’s first year in Dayton | celebrating the big one

August 27, 2022October 7, 2022 baby, cake smash

Celebrating your little one’s first birthday is a big deal. It’s the biggest milestone they have as a baby, and so fun documenting – especially with a smash cake they get all to themself!

happy big one Birdie!

I was so surprised that Birdie’s mom reaching out for a cake smash session. I had done her oldest’s smash cake session over 4 years ago, and I knew they had moved to Oregon. She said when she knew was going o be in town for a week around Birdie’s first birthday, she just had to reach out for another smash cake for her new little one. It was such a pleasure getting to meet sweet Birdie – and boy does she look like her big sis.

Smash cakes are included with smash cake sessions. I have them freshly baked by a local cake artist, Got Cake?. Birdie’s mom wanted a similar look to her oldest daughters one year session – so she brought the balloon, birthday crown, and cake topper.

I’m so thankful you are checking out my work here at my website. A little more about my studio… I have a full studio wardrobe, with of over 60 dresses and robes for moms (size 2 – 24) from a variety of places, along with a collection of choices for babies, children, and shirts for men. Hair and makeup is also available by a local make-up artist that comes right to the studio. It’s the most amazing way for moms to treat themselves before a session to make your session as simple and stress free as possible.

From those first sleepless nights to watching them grow into a little person with big personality… it’s been a year full of love, learning, and unforgettable moments.

✨ Here’s why a one-year session is so special:

💕Marking a Major Milestone💕
It’s not just your baby’s birthday—it’s a celebration of your first year of motherhood. You’ve done so much more than survive. Let’s honor that.

💕Preserving Your Bond💕
Mommy-and-me portraits highlight the connection that words can’t capture. These images tell the story of your love—and become treasured keepsakes for years to come.

💕You Deserve to Be in the Frame💕
Mamas, I see you. Always the one behind the camera. This is your moment to step in front and celebrate everything you’ve poured into this first year.

💕Honoring Your Motherhood Journey💕
This season is fleeting—but powerful. Your first year of motherhood deserves to be remembered, too.

Let’s capture the joy, the growth, and the deep connection between you and your little one.

As a parent, you want to know that your baby is in the safest hands during their session.

That’s why I prioritize your baby’s safety and comfort!

Let’s walk you through the measures I take to ensure your little one is cared for during their session...

✨Safety in Posing Newborns: Newborn photography requires specialized skills to pose babies in ways that are both adorable and safe. I take great care to ensure that with natural baby-led posing.

✨Safety in Secure Props: Every prop, wrap, and accessory I use has been specifically designed or chosen for newborn photography.

✨Parent Posing: I guide you through each pose gently, ensuring that both you and your baby are relaxed and supported.
