First birthday sessions are some of the most fun I have behind the camera! This was my very first time photographing sweet Giuliana, and oh my goodness, what a little star she was.

I always try to plan sessions around nap time, because a well-rested baby is a happy baby (and happy babies make the cutest models!).

It’s wild how fast that first year goes by, one minute they’re newborns, the next they’re smashing cake! That’s why I love capturing this big milestone. It’s the perfect way to celebrate all the giggles, growth, and personality that’s blossomed in just one short year.
