When your birthday falls in December, how can you NOT incorporate the holidays, snowflakes, sparkling lights and reindeer? I love this set so much and it is actually the second time I got to use it, with a few tweaks to bring in the reindeer that are part of her first birthday party theme. It is a Winter ONEderland First Birthday! How gorgeous is this cake from Concord Cake Company? If you are looking for a cake, cookies, cupcakes, or cake pops definitely check them out. Emily, the owner, never disappoints!

And no photo shoot taking place right before the holidays would be complete without some Christmas themed pictures. I am so into all the greens that are popular now. Sage, olive, and now this beautiful emerald green that is perfect for the winter. Photographer tip: jewel tones photograph beautifully and compliment just about every skin tone!

I always try to do a minimum of two outfits plus the cake smash outfit at first birthday sessions so we have a nice variety in the gallery and can show off different looks. <— As long as the birthday boy or girl is into it. As they celebrate their first birthdays, these babies are transitioning to on the go toddlers! How adorable is this outfit that mom picked out for her session? I’m obsessed with that boho look!

Showing off her new standing supported milestone! She looks so proud. Happy birthday baby girl! If you want to book your own Winter Onederland first birthday session, contact me to set it up.
