One-Year Baby Milestone Sessions are Joyful and Fun!

There are so many milestones in your baby’s first life, and a professional photographer can help you capture some of them. One of my favored baby milestones to photograph is the one-year session! I do one-year sessions either outdoors or in my studio. If you have a baby that likes to move and doesn’t like to sit still, an outdoor session can be playful and fun. Studio sessions are great because with my studio lighting and white background, I can create light, bright, modern images of your baby. I like to make my sessions fun and relaxed.

If you were a fly on the wall of my studio, you would hear me playing peek-a-boo, making all kinds of random animal noises, pretending to cough and sneeze, playing music, literally anything to elicit even a tiny smile from your baby. I never promise smiles, by the way. One year olds are unpredictable! But, I do my absolute best to help your baby feel relaxed, at ease and happy. If I can produce a giggle or a full-blown smile, that’s a home run. These photos are from a recent one-year baby session, and as you can see, this little one had a blast during her studio session!

Outdoor Family Photography Session - Pease Park

There are so many beautiful outdoor spaces in Austin to have your family’s annual photography session. Austin is lucky enough to have the Greenbelt, an area of preserved natural environment with trees, foliage year round, lovely winding creeks, and rock formations. In addition to the Greenbelt, there are parks all over Austin. I photograph families all over Austin and in the surrounding areas. I will come to a family’s home, a park nearby, or to any of a number of locations all over Austin that I can recommend. Have questions about a potential photography location? Contact me! Let’s chat.

I photographed this beautiful family at Pease Park, a lovely park in Austin that was just redone. The entire play area was overhauled, native plants were put in, and a huge spherical play area was erected. If you haven’t visited Pease Park, you should! The park also has tons of trails, and large open grassy areas. We went there in the morning and took advantage of a warm, sunny day to capture and celebrate this little girl turning one. Happy Birthday cutie!

Here are a few of my favorite images from the session. Snow Pixie Photography books family sessions year round. It’s always nice to do them early to avoid the rush of holiday cards.

October 2018 (One Year)

A lovely one year birthday photography session with a lovely family. I have so much fun photographing babies and catching them as they hit all the milestones of the first year: smiling, tummy time, sitting, crawling, walking, and of course turning ONE! This little boy is adorable, and we captured so many sweet moments between him and his parents during our outdoor photography session. I love the photograph of his daddy enveloping him in a hug after he had walked to him, and all the images of him and his beautiful mommy are simply precious. What a beautiful family!
