First Year Fêtes

Let Them Eat Cake!

Congratulations on making it to your Bébé's first year milestone! And what better way to commemorate the event than treating your Little One to a birthday feast! Whether it's a candied confection or something a little less traditional, I'll work with you to design a photoshoot that's tailor-made to your family.

Sessions are $250, and include a mini photoshoot beforehand, so your baby gets used to me and the camera, then followed by a food smash of some kind. Sessions that take place in my home studio also include a bubble or milk bath, so your Little One can be squeaky clean for the ride home. Outdoor sessions are only offered during certain months of the year due to the unpredictability of San Francisco weather. First year celebrations typically last 45-60 minutes and include use of any of my props and outfits, plus 20-30 beautifully-edited watermarked images, with the option to purchase additional prints and/or products.
