Happy Birthday Baby | Dallas First Birthday Baby Photographer

“Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Going to tell you how much I love you
Though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel
Wrapped in pink, so soft and warm
You've had me wrapped around your finger
Since the day you were born

You're beautiful baby, from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know
The road that will lead you home again
Go on, take on this old world but to me
You know you'll always be my little girl.”

~Tim McGraw


Baby’s first year flies by so amazingly quickly, and it’s unbelievable how little ones evolve from sweet and squishy sleepy babes to interactive tiny people with huge personalities. As a Dallas Baby Photographer, I love capturing your littles loves all throughout their first year. Whether you’re looking to schedule baby’s first photo session as a newborn, a series of several sessions for baby’s first year or a cake smash birthday session, I love capturing every stage and would be honored to be your Dallas baby photographer.

Scroll through to see a sampling of favorite’s from Mikaela’s first birthday session and for more information below.

All of the clothing pictured above was borrowed from the Rachel Friedman Photography studio wardrobe, for baby, mom and grandma. All RFP clients are invited to take advantage of the studio wardrobe, which includes dozens of dresses for moms, outfits for littles up to size 6T and shirts and sweaters for dads.

For birthday sessions, families are always welcome to bring a cake along for the session if you’d like to incorporate a smash cake as part of the session. Cake smashes are a wonderful way to finish up baby’s first birthday photo session.

If you’d like more information about a luxury custom Dallas baby photography session, let’s be in touch. I’d love to share more information about the experience, from wardrobe to hair and makeup referrals for you to planning your session either at my Plano residential studio, outdoors or in your home. Together, we will create beautiful artwork that we’ll design together after your session - everything from heirloom albums to gorgeous framed archival-grade fine art prints, canvases and more.
