Romy's First Birthday Sneak Peek

This sweet girl was in the studio last week to celebrate her very first birthday! I have had the honor of photographing both her and her older brother’s baby milestones and it’s always fun to see these babies grow up and visit with their parents over the years. Romy was a bit shy and needed some extra time with her mama during our session but I think we still captured some precious photos of her and her cake smash.

Romy’s brother did a simple white background with blue decor for his first birthday and mom wanted something to match and coordinate for Romy’s big day. I had several of the same props as before that I set up, plus matching lanterns but this time in pink instead of blue.

Romy had two adorable outfits and started with a frilly purple shirt and white pants. She wasn’t too sure about the new space or me (the new person) but we worked hard to get her comfortable and it seems that bubbles were the magic trick. We even got a few quick smiles while her mom played hide and seek behind me - yay!

The cake smash was not a big hit with Romy but truly that’s the case for so many babies. Many don’t understand what makes cake so great and Romy decided she would much prefer mom snuggles to sugar. I think we still got some great photos of her to commemorate the occasion and I always like to tell parents that if anything, you come away with a few “blackmail” photos during your kid’s teenage years.

It really was so wonderful to see Romy and her mom again even if Romy didn’t have her most smiley day. I know babies are just that, babies, and I still enjoy these special photo sessions and getting to capture those memories.
