First Birthday Photography Philadelphia – A first birthday photo session is much more then just getting your photos done! It’s a true family experience where we celebrate the first year of your little one.

I photographed this neat little guy last year at the Kids Christmas Event at the studio. He was 8 month and full of smiles. For his first birthday photo shoot , we moved around this great interactive location to give him a chance to explore each area while I captured his different expressions and his truly fun personality. My favorite part about this age is their ability to really engage with their environment and simply enjoy doing it. I sometimes will add a fun prop to the mix, but often will follow their lead and show me what they are most interested in working with.

The photo session started with the family portraits and finished with special portraits of just the birthday boy. I can’t get over the purple flowers that added a nice touch to the spring portraits. Mom and dad definitely wanted an updated family portrait to hang in their home of that one!

The balloons were a huge hit and he was a scared as I was about them popping. Those baby blues really stood out with his fun ONE birthday shirt.
