The grand finale for my Watch Me Grow packages are the first birthday sessions.  By now, I consider these families friends, and I’m so happy to celebrate this special milestone with them!

To be honest, this entire session could have been blogged, because there were SO many great ones.  This family always exudes such love with each other, it’s just fun to watch.

For every birthday / 12 month photo shoot I do, I try and spend about half of the session focusing on the birthday boy/girl and the rest on the entire family, because every session of mine is a family session.  Once in a while, I’ll have a potential client inquire about wanting to book a session for their baby but not wanting to be in the shots.  Guess what?  I’ve never done a session like that.  I’ve always managed to convince them to get in there and see the value of the family session.

When is your little one the happiest?  Who can make them laugh the most?  Who do they LOVE the most?  YOU.

Sure we want to capture the cake and show how big they’ve grown, but you’ll also look back and remember them gripping your finger as they learn to walk, flying them in the air, and sweet cuddles that only you know how to give.

Siblings are growing up too!  That’s why every Watch Me Grown Session is a family session.  We’re watching your family bond and grow over an entire year that you won’t get back.  Time marches on whether we want it to or not.  We won’t get these moments back, but at least we’ll have the pictures to look back on.
