As a Seaside Beach Photographer, I so enjoy getting to see what the light will look like for pictures. This sunrise was perfect. This particular session was for one year pictures and a few family photographs. I have known this precious family for a while now so this time together was sweet.

I have had the opportunity to photograph this family for the past four years. The oldest brother John, who is 4, got his newborn, 6 month, and 1 year portraits taken with me. It has been so fun watching this family grow!

Baby boy Charlie was not a fan of the sand. He was being a turkey and didn’t love us trying to get him to smile. But he was all smiles when we went to the garden.

He was all smiles for me sitting here on the bricks and in the chair. Daddy helped me out too, getting some sweet expressions from him. Getting the entire family involved behind the camera trying to make babies laugh is so fun. Sometimes, I think I laugh more at the silly faces than the babies do.

Big brother did an awesome job ! I love Seaside because I can photograph kids in the gardens as well as the beach. They are gorgeous and super accessible. One of the things I so enjoy about being a Seaside Beach Photographer is this accessibility of different locations in the area.

Smash cakes as part of one year pictures are my favorite. Little man was not interested in his cake at first, then we got some sweet smile while playing games with him. I enjoy capturing the many faces babies make as they destroy their cakes.

When doing one year old pictures, I like to capture their little personalities. This little guy is super playful and fun. His expressions cracked me up!

It’s been such a joy over the past 15 years to be able to meet so many one year old kids and their families. However, I especially love when I get to see these families grow, one kid after another. I have more family and one year old sessions in my baby gallery.
