A beautiful hanbok, shades of pink, and a birthday girl who absolutely loved her cake! This little girl’s first birthday session was such a fun one to photograph at my downtown Puyallup studio.

First Birthday Photos in Her Beautiful Hanbok


This sweet birthday girl wore a beautiful hanbok for her portraits, bringing a special connection to her Korean heritage into her session. I love when families include outfits or details that are meaningful to them. It makes their photos feel that much more personal, and her hanbok was such a lovely part of celebrating this milestone.


First birthdays are about more than the cake, even if that ends up being baby’s favorite part! These portraits are also a chance to capture your little one’s personality and the details you want to remember as they turn one.

A Pink Cherry Blossom Cake Smash


Her cherry blossom cake smash featured beautiful shades of pink that came together so nicely. The floral theme was such a sweet choice for her first birthday celebration, and I loved how the finished setup looked in her photos.

Of course, a beautiful setup is only part of the fun. You never quite know what a baby will think when a whole cake is placed in front of them!


She Absolutely Loved Her Cake!


This little girl was a fan! She absolutely loved her cake, and watching her enjoy it was one of my favorite parts of the session.


Some babies need a little encouragement during their cake smash, while others are much more interested in tasting than smashing. There’s no right way to do it. I love giving them time to explore and capturing whatever happens. When they enjoy their cake as much as this birthday girl did, it makes for such a fun session!
