Birthday Milestones

Each year we celebrate our children with a birthday session. They grow so quickly and it's amazing how much we see that when we look back at the photos. From hairstyles and outfits to missing teeth and a new smile.

We don't always make it happen right on time. It's often the month after - life is busy. The kids always enjoy it so much because it is all about them. Colors they like, outfits they choose, something that shows their personality.


10 is a big milestone and it was
fun to go with what he wanted.

When thinking of the milestones we often just think of their 1st birthday. The cake smash and darling outfits. Chubby little toes and baby teeth sweet little smiles. A cake smash is always worth it but don't stop there. Do one each year. It can be so simple with their favorite thing and just their sweet personality. Or elaborate with balloons and banners. A quick session to commemorate this next year.
