Birthday

Trying to distract ourselves from the blast of winter going on outside, we flash back to Mia's first birthday shoot. That year went by so quick. We just can't believe it? One of the things you have to get used to as a photographer (but never really do) is how quickly time flies. When you photograph kids as teenagers that you first saw in the studio as toddlers, it’s a reminder of just how fast things change, and how important it is to document life’s special moments and milestones. Don ......

Sarah and Derek brought their 3 year old twins to the studio for birthday photos. The boys are fraternal twins born on St. Patrick's Day. They love the usual boy things like trucks, trains, boats and swimming (sounds like typical boys!). These two also love each other and really stick together. Mom said that when Carter is in a time out, Dylan will go sit with him to keep him company. Carter returns the favor by tucking Dylan in at night and giving him a night night ......

This kid has charm! Jacob was all smiles when he came in for his birthday pictures. He was a joy to work with. Such a fun guy. We had the cloud backdrop up from a previous session that morning and Jacob loved it so that's what we used for his first setting. His Mom had him in a light colored sweater that really worked with the lighter backdrops we decided to utilize thru the session. Of course, we used the plastic number 4 because there is no better way to mark a bi ......

Emma came in for her birthday pictures and was one of the first people to use our brand new songbird backdrop. it was a perfect match for her outfit. We have 100+ backdrops in our studio so its impossible not to find a match for our clients however we were super excited to try out our latest acquisition. We think Emma liked it too. She came in with her Mom, Grandma and little brother Luke. Our studio tends to be a family affair and it was great to see them and ......

Max came into our studio for his first birthday photos and CAKE SMASH!! Disney and Mickey Mouse are a hit with Max. He wore his Mickey ears when he dove into his birthday cake! Max's mom, Heather, filled out a questionaire for us on her experience at our studio. We like it so much that we thought we would share it with you! People read our blogs to check out sample photos but also to learn about the do's/dont's of a photo session. Check out Heather's poin ......

Little Vivienne is ONE! We were lucky to photograph this cutie when she was 6 months old. We are thrilled that she came back for her one-year pictures. It's so nice to see the little ones grow. Her Mom booked a 30 minute studio session which was the perfect amount of time. Vivienne wore her 1st birthday dress and a 2nd outfit that was a bit more casual and cute for fall. She also had a bow and headband which are fun ways to complete a little girl's outfit ......

Disney’s Descendants film was the inspiration behind Serena’s recent 9 year old birthday pictures. This family is big into Disney and we love that about them! The Capture A Moment Studio's extensive backdrop collection (over 100+ to choose from) came in handy for this photo shoot. The castle backdrop was a perfect fit for the Disney theme and matched Serena’s purple & black dress a la Descendants. For the birthday centered photos, we utilized a balloon b ......

Capturing the first year of your child's life is important. These key moments are fleeting and you can't get them back. Little Aubrie is dear to our hearts here at Capture A Moment. Not only did we photograph her parent's wedding but we also documented the first full year of Aubrie's life with our First Year Package. From newborn, we have felt like a part of their family photographing the smiles and changes Aubrie has been through the past 12 months. George Geor ......

Happy First Birthday Connor! We had a fun family photography session this past weekend with little Connor at George George Park. It was a cloudy morning which actually worked out perfectly for us because we could go anywhere we wanted without having to worry about the sun. So we had a great and rare opportunity to utilize the front fountain as a beautiful backdrop for his 1 year photographs. Mom and Dad love spending time outside as a family so they wa ......

Happy Birthday Abby! Little Abby turned one recently and we still can’t believe it. We both remember when we went to Yates Cider Mill to take family pictures when mom let us in on a secret, that she was pregnant! And once Abby was born, they came to us for her newborn pictures and for the last year we have enjoyed watching this beautiful little girl grow and blossom with those beautiful little curls.Baby Abby was such a sweet little girl with us and happy to be ......

Happy 1st Birthday Shawn! As I sit in the studio, looking out at a dark and dreary sky, I’m really missing the longer days and beautifully lit early evenings. This shoot took place on one of those types of days and it is certainly worth sharing. We took the family to one of our secret cool locations and had a lot of fun with Shawn and some of his favorite toys. We photographed Shawn throughout the year and included Hobbes in his images so it was a must on his first birthday!&n ......

Happy 8th Birthday to this lovely lady! A big fan of bright colors, she fit in just right with our fun new backdrops! 8 is sure a great age to be!

7 Month Old Jude! Every month we get to see this little guy and it is so fun to watch him grow! Each month we try harder and harder to get his elusive smile! This month things went a little bit better and we captured a few of his cute smiles!Monthly pictures are definitely commitment! It isn’t always easy to find time once a month to get meet up with us and come up with something new to do but the effort is so very worth it. It is one of the packages offered in ou ......
