Wild One First Birthday Studio Session | Frankfort | Christina Bailitz Photographer

It’s been a wild year since this sweet boy entered the world last winter.


It is time to celebrate his first year with a WILD ONE first birthday photo session. He loved exploring the studio, showing off how fast is moving around. I always say after they learn to crawl, photo sessions become a little busier getting them to be in the frame and facing a camera angle. But with the help of mom and dad we make it happen. I love the connections I see each session between babes and their parents - as much as I want to say they are smiling at me, often it is mom/dads voice that is working.

We ended this session with a smash cake session! I LOVE these moments, as being a mom of three, I know how fast the first birthday parties go and this is a way to get some pictures and enjoy the moment when not being a host. Some dive in, some don’t touch the cake, and some explore trying to figure out what this is. And this session by the end we had cake on our clothes, face, floor and hair - it was his party time.

First Birthday Photoshoot was a success and documented for the books!!!
