Jackie’s Northville first birthday session celebrated this one year old in a colorful way! We did Jackie’s session at Maybury State Park, which is one of my favorites for families and children. The parking lot is close to the places that photograph well, making it an easy in and out.

I was able to not only photograph Jackie’s newborn session the year previous, but also Ashley and Catherine’s maternity session! Talk about full circle. It was lovely to see how Jackie had grown. She did fabulous at this session. It was a little cold for early October but she still dug into her cake.

I have two options for milestone sessions, either on-location like this Northville first birthday session or in studio. Either is a great choice and works well for kids, it just depends on what you envision for your session. I don’t do intricate set ups but a few details here and there really make the session. Catherine put together the big “one” for this session and was planning on using it at Jackie’s first birthday party, which is a fabulous idea!
