Birthday Sessions in Newport Beach | Beyond Baby Milestones

Jun

I loved catching up with precious Aleks and Maja (and their darling Mama) during their birthday sessions in Newport Beach. I have been photographing these two since they were born, and I’ve loved seeing them grow into the most adorable little people with their own thoughts and ideas.

Aleks and Maja | Story Book Collective Graduates

If you’re a regular reader of the blog, you may recognize these sweet faces. I’ve had the honor of documenting both of these collective graduates from their first steps to their first year of kindergarten. It’s an honor to have clients return year after year, and it means so much to the entire HHP team.

I get to photograph this family two times a year! Their mother, who is a fantastic surgeon, has invested in a library of memories for her family to cherish, and each session with them is just as fun-filled as the last!

Annually, they do a fall session with their whole crew. Then, they each have a mommy-and-me session for their birthdays. This year, they turned six and four, and the albums from this session will be number 18 and 19 in their collection! This year, for their birthday sessions, we incorporated their favorite things: mermaids for Maja and dinosaurs for Aleks.

Birthday Sessions in Newport Beach | Beyond Baby Milestones

Did you know that milestone sessions don’t have to end once your baby turns a year old? Of course, you likely won’t be dropping into our Newport photo studio every few months, like during your baby’s Story Book Collective membership. But we love it when clients bring their kiddos back year after year to document their growth.

One perk of returning each year is that your kids already know us and typically take less time to warm up to the camera during their session. This means more authentic moments in front of the camera where they get to be themselves. Say goodbye to stiff, uncomfortable portraits where your kids feel shy and on the spot. We love making the experience fun for them, and it always shines through in their final portraits!
