Happy birthday, Benjamin! This sweet boy is turning one, and what a cutie pie he is! I had the pleasure of taking this little guy’s newborn photos, so when his mom and dad, Stephanie and Chris, contacted me to do Benjamin’s 12 month session, I was totally looking forward working with them again! This family is absolutely stunning. All three of them have big, friendly smiles that light up any room that they walk into.

Stephanie and Chris wanted Ben’s session to take place at the beach. The weather was perfect for the occasion, and we all had a great time! First, we did a few family photos with all three of them together. Stephanie and Chris had so much fun watching their little guy, and we got some great photos of all three of them playing together. Next, we let Benjamin take off his cute little outfit and play in the water. He enjoyed sitting in the water and playing in the sand. I loved his little sandy toes. So cute! Benjamin was all smiles and giggles, so it’s safe to say that he enjoyed his first year session as much as the rest of us!

Working with Stephanie, Chris, and Benjamin is always a great time. They are some of the nicest people I have met, and their company is always pleasant. I am so glad that I am able to watch Benjamin grow up, and look forward to many more years of documenting his sweet little life. Thank you, Stephanie and Chris, for trusting in me to capture these wonderful memories your family has made! It is so fun to watch little Ben grow! Happy birthday, Benjamin! I hope you are able to play in the sand as soon as the chance comes along! You are such a sweet baby boy!

What a fun time it was spending the day with Ben in the surf and sand as his Tampa, FL First Birthday Portrait Photographer!
