One Year Old Studio Boho Session with Smash Cake

I was so happy to meet Miss Isla and capture some photos of her! We started with the new boho set-up we have at the studio currently! How cute is this new bed setup with all the plants and peacock chair? Then we headed to my favorite darker studio backdrop in her dress. After that we did a few with some other backdrops I had, the turquoise backdrop really made Isla pop! How cute is her hair in these photos? Finally we ended with a smash cake and she went right in for it. I love ending 1 year sessions with a cake smash! Booking a studio session in the winter is the perfect backdrop to any of the milestones you are celebrating with your kids!

One Year Studio Birthday Session with Smash Cake

Happy Birthday Mr. P ! It has been such a wonderful time watching you grow this past year from a tiny sleepy newborn to a little man who knows how to crawl faster than I can jog! The S family came to my studio for his one-year photos. We did a mixture of indoor and outdoor photos and some with a holiday theme and they finished the session with an epic sprinkle-covered smash cake. I love working with families in my studio in downtown Algonquin since it provides so much variety. I have indoor and outdoor space available to shoot in there along with lots of backdrops, furniture, and props.

What is a mini shoot?

A mini shoot is just a taste of what a full session would be. They are perfect for a milestone or special occasions such as a sitter session, prom, school photo, first communion and etc. I host them at my studio at 122 S Main St. Algonquin either inside or right behind my studio since it opens up to a beautiful area filled with trees, a creek, wildflowers, and some cool more urban-looking walls. I do also offer mini-sessions at other locations on select dates. So if you are flexible with location and dates a mini might just be the perfect fit for you. After the session, you will receive a full gallery of images to pick out your 8 that comes with the mini.

All of these images below were taken either in my studio or right behind my studio. There is just so much flexibility for you to choose from in one convenient location.
