One Year Milestone Portraits

One year milestone portraits are absolutely an occasion to mark. Which is why I couldn’t wait to see this little cutie again!

I have had the joy of photographing her as part of my First-Year Collective Collection and have delighted in our times together. It has been so fun and such a privilege seeing her grow over the year.

Her one year milestone portraits happened to fall in the winter, so we met at a Minneapolis natural light studio.

Easy and comfortable location

We in Minnesota know that winters don’t provide nearly enough light, which is why a natural light studio is always a great alternative during the colder months. It’s also a fun change if you wish to change up your location for your updated portraits.

A natural light studio is always a great alternative during the colder months and also a fun change if you wish to change up your location for portraits. It was a perfect studio setting for her to explore and also get cozy with mom and dad. 

Milestone photos to cherish

I have so many favorites from her one year milestone portraits session but one that stands out is when she is standing up next to the window.

I loved how we were able to capture the awe she has of her parents behind me, her new skill of standing alone, and her little dimple hands. Such a special moment.

Did you know? I have a First-Year Collective Collection designed specifically for parents who don’t want to forget a moment of their baby’s first year.

Let’s connect

If you’re expecting or have a newborn, I’d love to connect with you to see if this collection would work for you. I also have individual sessions, such as the one year milestone portraits, so would be honored to tailor my services to best meet your needs.

For years, I always wanted to be a ‘reader’. But making the space and time to read wasn’t a big priority in my day. Finally, about five years ago, I set a goal to read 10 books in the year. I quickly surpassed my goal and started a small book club with some girlfriends, leading […]
