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
Most families schedule their First Birthday Experience when their baby is around eleven months old. This gives us time to collaborate on the experience, create artwork, and have everything ready for birthday celebrations, invitations, or family gatherings.
But here’s the truth that matters most:
Your baby doesn’t have to be exactly one.
Some families come in weeks before, some right after, and it’s all beautiful.
During your Discovery Call, we’ll also talk about your baby’s rhythms, especially naps, so the experience unfolds at a time when your child feels rested, playful, and ready to shine.
If you need something sooner, we often have last-minute openings.
Call us today at 813-994-4552 and we’ll always do our best to make space for you.
We make wardrobe simple.
During your Discovery Call, we guide you through choosing outfits that reflect your baby’s personality and also complement the artwork you envision for your home. Most families bring one to three pieces they love: something timeless, something playful, and something that feels like them.
We’ll help you choose colors and textures that feel clean, classic, and beautiful in artwork, so your baby feels comfortable and expressive throughout the experience.
Yes! Our First Birthday Experiences include thoughtful, child-led styling that feels celebratory without overwhelming your baby.
We customize the set with colors, textures, and playful elements that match your artwork vision. Whether you love soft neutrals, gentle pastels, or something bright and joyful, we collaborate with you to create a scene that feels meaningful, fun, and emotionally connected to your family’s story.
Absolutely.
This milestone is just as meaningful for the whole family … especially when this is your last baby.
We begin the experience with a few portraits that include parents and siblings so everyone feels included and celebrated. These moments often become some of the most meaningful artwork families choose for their homes because they reflect the love surrounding this little one every day.
Most First Birthday Experiences unfold over about an hour, but we always follow your baby’s pace.
There’s room for cuddles, snacks, wiggles, warm-ups, and pauses. Nothing is rushed, and everything is designed to help your baby feel relaxed, curious, and confident.
After the experience, you’ll either stay or return for your Design & Ordering Appointment. This is where we view everything together and help you select the artwork that feels most meaningful for your home — Wall Art Collections, Heirloom Storybooks, or a Treasure Box.
We provide a simple 5″ round cake for families who want it.
But if your baby has dietary needs or you’ve already fallen in love with a specific cake design, you’re more than welcome to bring one that feels right for your celebration.
Just let us know during your Discovery Call so we can plan everything beautifully.
It’s easy … just click the Let’s Chat or Request a Session button on this page.
We’ll connect for a Discovery Call, learn about your baby’s personality, and begin planning an experience that celebrates who they are and the love your family shares.
We can’t wait to celebrate this beautiful milestone with you.
