One of the best parts of being a newborn photographer is getting to see these sweet babies grow. Not long ago, I welcomed this beautiful baby boy into my studio for his newborn session. He was just a couple of weeks old, peacefully curled up with tiny bears, and cradled by adoring parents. Those tiny hands, sweet cuddles, and quiet moments were such a dream to capture.

Fast forward one year, and he was back in the studio—this time full of giggles, personality, and ready to dive into his first birthday cake smash! Seeing his curiosity as he explored his cake and his sweet little grin as frosting covered his hands (and face!) was awesome!

What makes these milestone sessions so special is the story they tell. From the very beginning to that big first birthday celebration, having these moments photographed gives families memories they’ll hold onto forever. And trust me—those side-by-side images from newborn to one year are always a favorite!

If you’re thinking about documenting your baby’s first year, there’s nothing more meaningful than watching their story unfold through photos. I’d love to help you preserve every stage—because as any parent knows, it all goes by far too quickly.
