Riley | First Birthday Session | O'Fallon Illinois and St. louis Milestone Session

First birthday sessions are quickly becoming one of my favorite sessions now that I have been in one place long enough to actually see so many babies through their first year and how their personalities explode. One of the saddest parts of leaving a community that I have been apart of for multiple years is knowing that so many of these babies I would get to see through so many more milestones if I only got to be here longer. Oh how I am going to miss these families when we move to Illinois.

Riley’s mommy and daddy were first photographed last year when they first found out they were pregnant and wanted to share their great news. It was the first time that I had heard people finding out the gender earlier than the 20 week sonogram and man. Jessica and Zach are seriously drop dead gorgeous! You can see their maternity session here and Riley’s newborn session here!

Annnnd for the best part of the first birthday session……. The amazing cake smashhhh! I loveee watching these sweet babies get right into the cake!

And one more little peek at the cutest and most expressive toes around….
