A One-Year-Old, A Barn, and A Pony – What More Could You Ask For?


When a past client reached out to schedule a session for her son’s first birthday, I couldn’t have said “yes” fast enough. There’s something so special about being invited back to capture a new milestone, and this one was extra sweet.


Set on a beautiful farm, the session had all the magic you'd hope for—rustic charm, little ponies meandering in the background, and the birthday boy proudly wearing his dad’s cowboy hat. The sunlight hit just right, the barn doors creaked with character, and the joy on this little guy’s face made every moment picture-perfect.


It was the kind of session that reminds me why I love what I do. Milestones like these aren’t just memories—they’re stories in the making. And I’m so honored to help tell them.
