1 Year Old Milestone Session | Family Photography in Gaithersburg MD

I’ve been photographing this family since their oldest was just a baby, and now their youngest is 1 year old! It’s always such a treat to see them again. It’s amazing how much can change in a year, and I loved capturing this milestone with a mix of sweet portraits, family moments, and candid moments of their family interacting.

The sisters are each so expressive in their own way, and it was fun to see how their dynamic is starting to unfold. I’m excited to share some of my favorite images from the session—this gallery is full of warmth, smiles, and the beautiful energy that comes from watching a family grow together.

It’s true what they say—They’ll never be this little again. That first year flies by in the blink of an eye, and before you know it, your tiny newborn is clapping, crawling, and bursting with personality. Our First Year Plan is a sweet way to capture every milestone along the way, from those early cuddles to the curiosity and charm that shines through as they grow.

The plan includes a newborn session, a six-month milestone session, and a one-year session that wraps up with a fun cake smash (messy faces and all!). You’ll also receive a family portrait during all sessions session—because these are the moments you’ll want to look back on forever. If you’re wondering whether the First Year Plan is right for your family, reach out t!—I’d love to walk you through it.
