St. Louis Cake Smash & First Birthday Photography
The Big ONE.
Can you believe it has been 12 months? You made it through the sleepless nights, the teething, and the endless diaper changes. Now, your tiny newborn is a little person with a huge personality.
First birthday sessions are about more than just sugar. They are a celebration of you making it to this milestone as a family. Let’s capture the joy, the giggles, and yes, the frosting-covered chaos.
THE PROCESS
The Portraits: We start with the "nice" outfit first. Before the mess begins, we capture classic portraits of your little one (and family photos too) while everyone is still clean and smiling.
The Smash: We bring out the cake and let them go wild. Some dive in face-first, some poke it with one finger. It is all normal, and it is all adorable.
The Cleanup: The best part? You grab your sticky baby, and I handle the mess on the floor. You go home to a clean house.
