First Birthday Photoshoot at Norfolk Botanical Gardens
Considering a first birthday photoshoot for your baby but not sold to the idea yet?
This blog features a sweet first birthday photoshoot for a baby girl who has been a part of my First Year Collective membership. I was honored to photograph her and her parents 5 times in her first year – and this session was the celebration of her 1st birthday! (Want to see the progression of our 5 sessions and see just how fast a baby grows in the first year? View the Documenting Baby’s First Year blog here.)
We met at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens – an absolutely gorgeous garden in Norfolk, VA that always has a variety of plants blooming no matter what time of year you visit!
This location is great for family photos, milestone photos as well as maternity portraits. Check out a maternity session feature during the Fall months here! As a bonus, if you have a family membership, you get a complimentary photo permit so you don’t have to pay the fee to host your photoshoot there.
Baby’s First Birthday Photoshoot
Let’s start dreaming about your perfect first birthday photoshoot…
Because, it’s important for you to have special first birthday milestone photos including family photos with your sweet little one. Because they will only turn 1 year old once!
The first year goes way too quickly, and you don’t want to miss having a professional capture her smashing a cake (or whatever reaction they have to having their own cake!)
It’s their FIRST birthday and you want to freeze this moment forever.
You want a session that feels natural, relaxed and fun.
At the end? You don’t want to be left with a bunch of work to do, you just want to enjoy the gorgeous photos of your sweet baby.
You want photos that feel true to your family and are joyful… and capture all those little details before they’re all grown.
Because you’ve hired a full-service photographer, like Chelsey Kraus Photography in Virginia Beach, all of this is your reality.
You have been pampered with professional hair and makeup, and your photographer has an awesome client wardrobe of dresses that you can borrow from…
After these photos, your photographer meets with you to design an album to print and preserve all your favorite photos from baby’s first year.
You’ll actually have something tangible to flip through and reminisce alongside your daughter or son as they grow up.
Sounds pretty awesome, right?
Turns out, all your baby’s first birthday photoshoot dreams can come true!
