We then brought it inside to capture some images before getting too messy in with the cake smash. The basket in the top picture is the same basket we put her in for her newborn photos. I always love doing this because you can really see how much they have grown and changed over the past year.

Celebrating little Hanna on her 1st birthday was so fun! She was full of smiles and silly faces. We did 2 outfits before her “Donut Smash” and a bubble bath after to clean up. This is quite typical of how my one-year sessions flow. I love the variety it gives and it keeps the babies interested!

For Henry’s big day, he got to take over the JNP Studio—both inside and out.  Although his official first birthday fell last March, we waited for the perfect spring day to schedule his photoshoot.  (Fortunately, that didn’t take too long.)  On April 28th, we had sunny, warm weather; just right for a Cake Smash and cleanup.

Watching Nora grow through her First Year Plan has been a joy for everyone around her!  (Myself included.)  For those of you who may not be familiar with this program, it’s basically something I developed a few years ago to help parents capture the many milestones newborns experience.  The Deibler family decided to participate when baby Nora was born and we celebrated her first birthday last summer with a super sweet Cake Smash!

Can you believe the New Year is less than 2 weeks away?  Although winter is just getting started here, my photographer brain is already planning ahead for spring sessions!  Maybe I’m just feeling inspired by one of my favorite photoshoots from 2019.  Featuring the Chandra-Lee family, who’s been with me since the beginning of Jessica Neumann Photography.  Honestly, these portraits remind me why I started this small business in the first place.
