Cake Smash photo session in Thousand Oaks, California. Outdoor photo shoot as well as indoor cake smash.
Look Who is ONE!
Your baby changes more in the first year after they are born than any other time in their lives. They go from sleeping all day to walking and eating. That first birthday feels like an enormous milestone. All of those sleepless nights, hours walking, rocking, nursing, and holding that baby will bond you to that child like nothing else in their lives. Not that the work is over when they turn one, but it changes. You’ll be worried about what they get into instead of worrying about why they are crying. Their personalities are on full display, and you know what they like for sure you know what they do not like.
I love seeing the newborns that I photograph again when they turn one. The parents are so much more confident, and the stories they tell are so fun to hear. During this session we found out this little heart breaker really doesn’t like cake. He’s so full of love, and I’m the luckiest girl because I got to photograph him. Now I can’t wait to see him when he turns two.

The Milestones of Life
This post has two separate photo sessions for families experiencing big milestones in their lives. The first is a 1st Birthday, and the second is a family session done right before their oldest daughter went away to college. It’s amazing to me how both of them happen so fast, and they can both be emotional. I cried a lot more when my oldest daughter went away to college than on her first birthday, but they both felt monumental. Life goes by so quickly.
You have to enjoy the stage you’re in. You just have to! Stop doing that thing where tell yourself that you'll be happy once the kids are sleeping through the night, or once they start school, or when they move out. The reality is, you WILL miss what you have RIGHT NOW. You will wish you had enjoyed it so much more than you are. Life is messy, and hard, and painful, but it is also beautiful. Look for the beautiful while you’re going through the hard parts.
