Sweet Draco is officially ONE, and we wrapped up his first year of sessions with the most precious little milestone mini! His birthday theme was “One Happy Dude,” so his mama wanted to go with a clean and classic black, white, and yellow color palette—and I just love how simple, sweet, and joyful these images turned out.

Draco is such a precious little guy with the cutest cheesy smile that lights up his whole face. He was a little shy during parts of the session and made us work a bit for those grins, but when he did smile? It was everything. He did such a great job, and I absolutely love the mix of sweet and silly moments we captured.

This session felt extra special because I’ve had the joy of photographing Draco throughout his entire first year—from maternity, newborn, and his 6-month Christmas mini, all the way to now. And it all started when I photographed his parents’ wedding just a year and a half ago! It’s been such a gift watching this beautiful family grow and being invited to capture so many of their milestones along the way.

Draco, you truly are one happy dude, and I can’t wait to see all that’s ahead for you and your sweet family! 💛

First birthday sessions are the perfect way to celebrate your little one’s big personality. Let’s plan a milestone session that’s simple, fun, and full of heart!
