Winter Chicago Women’s Park and Gardens Lifestyle Family Photo Session

While snow can be a bother, it sure makes for some fantastic photos. I headed into Chicago last week for {M’s} first birthday photos. We even did them on his actual birthday which made it even more special. We started in their gorgeous Chicago condo, then head out to their outdoor rooftop, then strolled down to Chicago Women’s Park and Gardens and finished it all off with a smash cake!

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!
