In the warmth of the summer sun, the Dahlberg family met with me to celebrate a special milestone – Brady’s 1st birthday.

As the golden hour bathed the beautiful Lemon Lake Park in a warm, golden glow, I was so excited to capture such fun portraits of this sweet family again!! The photographs captured not just the smiles and laughter but also the genuine love that permeated every moment of this beautiful and fun milestone!

No first birthday is complete without a cake smash, and Brady’s was no exception. A beautifully crafted cake took center stage, tempting the little one to dive in and explore the sugary delight. I loved photographing every giggle, every messy handprint, and the pure joy that radiated from Brady’s face as he indulged in his first taste of birthday cake.

Brady’s first birthday and the accompanying summer family session were a beautiful tapestry of joy, love, and togetherness. In the midst of cake crumbs, laughter, and colorful decorations, the Dahlberg family celebrated not just a birthday but the precious moments that define the essence of family life. As Brady embarks on the journey of childhood, these captured memories will serve as a timeless reminder of a day filled with love, laughter, and the warmth of a summer celebration that will be cherished for generations to come.
