I first met Walker when he came to my Rio, WI studio for a milestone session. This sweet boy has been a superhero for his entire first year of life. Walker was diagnosed with a Congenital Heart Defect and has faced challenges from the very beginning of life.

When Walker’s mama had reached out about wanting to do his One Year Portraits + Cake Smash, I was absolutely thrilled. His mama had provided his wardrobe for his session and they were the perfect pieces to not only showcase his personality but his scar from heart surgery.

My brave little friend is the definition of courageous!

One Year Portraits + Cake Smash is one of my most favorite sessions that I host in the studio. Not every kid loves their cake and others cannot get enough.

One Year Portraits can be done with or without a cake smash added onto. Majority of parents that book sessions choose to do the One Year Portraits with Cake Smash however some parents do choose 12 Month Milestone Portraits instead.

Finch & Mae Studio does offer a full Mini Client Wardrobe that can be used with your baby’s portrait session. The pieces in the Mini Client Wardrobe have been hand selected by me to ensure that they flow well, are not distracting and are timeless for your portraits.

One Year Portraits + Cake Smash sessions are without balloons and themes to help keep your gallery, portraits and wall art timeless and classic.
