There's Nothing Like a Chunky, Squishy Baby | First Birthday Photos

 Houston Baby Photographer: Outdoor One Year Old Cake Smash Photoshoot

There's something incredibly special about a being a baby photographer. As a mama, I adore working with little ones. Their personalities are contagious and I always leave the session in a great mood. Little ones are simply a joy to work with because they're so purposeful in all that they do. Whether they're crawling, standing, or giving a big 'ol belly laugh there is purpose behind it.

For my time with beautiful Baby Ellie, I had her sweet mama meet me at a location I adore using for small children. It's in Cypress and is a historic park area. I like this location mainly because it provides a variety of options for each session type, but it's also safe and has easy parking. One year old child sessions are a blast here because the little one can explore, too!

In the beginning of Ellie's cake smash session I focused on simple child portraits. I enjoy images in which the little one is both playing candidly but also smiling at the camera. Your gallery should be diverse and filled with moments of happiness. The little one's huge grins, soulful eyes and tiny toes is simply wonderful!

Mom made this cake! She is quite the baker, huh? It's simple and chic and timeless. 

Once I introduced the actual cake to Ellie, she dug right in! During this portion of the one year old photos I take photos of everything from the child in the high chair (which I provide), from her reaching for the cake, her hands in the cake, etc. All of those tiny details really make the gallery shine and provide you with a classic collection of images you'll treasure forever.

After the cake smash portion, we cleaned Ellie up and let her play in her diaper. This is a wonderful way to end the session - to create an organic atmosphere in which the baby simply enjoys being outside and we can show all the cuteness of a newly turned one year old such as their little chunky arms, locks of hair, or chubby feet.

When it comes to photography and documenting the lives of my little ones, it's best to let them be who they are and embrace the chaos. Motherhood is thrilling, terrifying, ever so joyful and at times a little crazy...and I don't mind one single bit!

If you follow my work or occasionally check into the blog, you may know I have three little girls named Emma, Lucy and Amelia. They're all quite different and have their own personalities though one common trend runs through their DNA: They love to have fun! And as their mama, I adore documenting their childhood. I have three camera bodies often lying around my house, memory card inserted, ready to go so that throughout the day I can capture who they are. These images are my love letters to them. Here are some of our summer shots! I make an appearance in some of these too thanks to the hubby! :p

Ayan's First Birthday Session | Cake Smash & Splash in the Morning Light

A cake smash and splash is the cutest way to preserve your baby's first birthday! Check out highlights below!

Good morning, everyone! Thank you for stopping by my blog to view one of the latest precious little one's I had in front of my handy dandy camera. As a Houston photographer (and mama!), I know how special turning the big one is. It's where your baby is right on the edge of entering toddler-hood; they're hitting new milestones such as standing, walking, and even saying new words. A photography session is a wonderful way to celebrate this new age! For instance, all of my sessions begin at golden hour. This is when the light is most soft. While session times vary depending on Daylight Savings Time, they generally begin right as the sun rises and right when it's beginning to set. For A's outdoor first year birthday portraits, we chose a location in Cypress - a suburb of Houston Texas. It's a beautiful location featuring a winding dirt trail, over-hanging oak trees, ample parking, and warm, golden light that rises behind the subject. It's a fantastic spot for nearly any type of photography and I always enjoy shooting here!

Here are my personal favorites from my time with this sweet baby boy! Thanks again for stopping by. I hope you enjoy viewing this session. Enjoy your day! xoxo!
