Who’s got a kiddo with a February birthday? I love that we have birthdays throughout the entire year on the Simply Shelby team. We get to celebrate everyone and it seems like we almost have a birthday in every single month of the year. One of my most favorite things to photograph is first birthday sessions. The kiddos are so cute and every single session is always different. We have clients who want simple portraits, others want smash cakes, some want both, and others want to go all out for their first birthday session. Then the cherry on top is the babies themselves. Some one year old’s love the camera, others have major stranger danger radar, and when it comes to a cake smash you’ve got a whole mixed bag of I don’t even want to touch that thing to a mess made in heaven. Its always fun and exciting to see what each session is going to be like. Simply Shelby by Emily Kaye got to be the photographer for both of these first birthday sessions. Each client chose a more simple clean session but one wanted portraits and the other a cake smash. There is no right or wrong way to do a session and I love how each of these ones turned out!
