Celebrate Your Baby’s One-Year Journey With Artwork That Honors the Love You’re Building
A joyful, guided transformational experience that helps mothers slow down, feel present, and create artwork their children will grow up feeling proud of.
This First Birthday Feels Bigger Than a Milestone
That first year moves in a blur of late nights, laughter, tiny steps, tiny hands, and moments you promise yourself you’ll never forget.
And suddenly… your baby is turning one.
Whether this is your first time celebrating a one-year birthday or you’ve walked this path before, this moment carries its own unique mix of joy, nostalgia, and deep emotion.
You want to honour who your baby is right now — their spark, their growing personality, the connection you’ve built, and the love that fills your home.
This experience was created to help you do exactly that.
The First Year Goes Faster Than Anyone Tells You
You scroll through your phone and find rushed snapshots… tiny glimpses of a year that changed everything.
But you want something more intentional — something that reflects:
- the way your baby looks at you with trust and wonder
- the softness of their cheeks and the wobble in their steps
- their imagination beginning to shine
- the pride, belonging, and connection growing inside your home
Most of all, you want your child to grow up seeing a daily reminder:
“You were so loved. You mattered here.”
What We Believe
We believe every mother deserves to feel profoundly proud of the life she’s building — and to be reminded every day that her children feel deeply loved, seen, and supported.
We believe a first birthday isn’t just a milestone.
It’s a moment to honor the story unfolding inside your home.
That’s why our First Birthday Transformational Experiences help mothers slow down, celebrate their child’s spirit, and create artwork that becomes a living reminder of the love that carried you both through this first year.
How We Make This Meaningful
This isn’t about taking pictures — it’s about honoring your baby’s story.
Here’s how we guide you:
- We take time to understand your baby’s personality, spark, and the story you want them to grow up believing.
- We create a joyful, supported experience where your child feels celebrated and you feel calm, prepared, and present.
- We design artwork intentionally for your home, so you see connection, pride, and belonging every day.
- We walk with you from start to finish, so you always feel supported, never rushed.
- We celebrate your devotion and your child’s imagination, weaving them together into artwork that becomes more meaningful with each passing year.
3 Simple Steps to Celebrate Your Baby’s First Birthday
Step 1:
Your Connection & Discovery Call
This is a warm, guided phone conversation where we learn about your baby’s personality, the story you want to honor, and the feelings you want reflected in your home.
It’s simply a chance for us to connect, understand what matters most to you, and make sure this experience is the right fit for your family.
Step 2:
The First Birthday Transformational Experience
If the experience feels right for your family, we’ll choose a date together.
This is a joyful, imagination-filled experience where your baby feels celebrated, confident, and free to express who they are.
You get to slow down and be present while we guide the entire journey with care.
Step 3:
Your Artwork Design Process
After the experience, we walk with you through choosing the artwork that feels most meaningful: Wall Art Collections, Treasure Boxes, or an Heirloom Storybook that honors your baby’s one-year story and the love growing inside your home.
What You’ll Feel Afterward
Mothers often describe feeling:
- Present — like they finally slowed time long enough to take in who their baby truly is
- Proud — knowing they honoured a year filled with love, devotion, and growth
- Connected — to their baby, their home, and their story together
- Grounded — with artwork that brings calm and belonging into every room
- Reassured — that their child will grow up seeing visible proof of how deeply they were loved
This experience isn’t about perfection.
It’s about meaning.
Artwork That Lives With You Every Day
Your First Birthday Experience can be brought to life through:
- Custom Wall Art Collections designed for the heart of your home
- Treasure Boxes filled with your baby’s evolving story
- Heirloom Storybooks that honor their personality and imagination
These aren’t decorations.
They are emotional anchors your child will grow up seeing and feeling.

🎂 First Birthday Portraits – FAQ
We recommend booking your session when your baby is around 11 months old. This gives us time to create and deliver your portraits in time for their birthday party, invitations, or keepsakes. But don’t worry—we’ve photographed sessions right before or even after the big day too! The most important thing is to schedule around their nap time!!! A well rested baby is a happy baby!
We suggest 1–3 outfits: something timeless for the classic white scene, something fun for playing with the balloons, and one for the cake smash. We’ll help you plan everything ahead of time so your session feels smooth and stress-free. We also have some props and accessories in the studio to coordinate with your outfits and complete the look!
Absolutely! Our full “Funtabulous” sessions include custom styling with balloons, backgrounds, and themed set pieces. Let us know your vision and we’ll bring it to life.
Yes! This milestone is just as special for you. We’re happy to include a few portraits with parents and siblings at the beginning of the session. Just let us know during your planning call.
Funtabulous First Birthday Sessions usually run around an hour. We’ll go at your baby’s pace, with time for cuddles, snacks, and breaks if needed.
You’ll either stay right after your session or come back to the studio for a relaxed design consultation where we’ll view your portraits together and help you choose your favorites. Whether you want wall art, an album, or digital images, we’ll guide you through everything.
As part of your session fee we provide a 5″ round cake from Publix. However if your baby has special dietary needs or you have a custom cake design you have your heart set on, you can definitely bring your own cake!
Easy! Just click the Let’s Chat or Request a Session button on this page, and we’ll take care of the rest. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
