Why Birthday Photography Should Be Your New Favorite Tradition

You know that feeling when you blink, and suddenly your baby isn’t a baby anymore? One minute they’re tiny and snuggly, and the next, they’re running around like little tornadoes with big personalities.


That’s why birthday photography is such an amazing tradition. Every year, your child grows, changes, and becomes even more themselves—why not capture that magic? A birthday photoshoot gives you beautiful memories to look back on, year after year.

Each birthday marks a new chapter—whether it’s your baby’s first birthday cake smash or your teenager’s “sweet 16” glow-up. These milestones deserve more than just a blurry phone picture!

Birthday photography freezes these moments in time, creating keepsakes you’ll cherish forever. Imagine having a beautiful collection of annual birthday portraits to display at their 18th birthday or even their wedding!

Testimonials
I had such a great experience with Marta! Her communication was spot on from start to finish, and she made everything feel so easy and relaxed. She was professional but also super friendly and helped me feel comfortable during the shoot. The photos turned out amazing! Words can’t describe how happy I am with the results. Everyone loved them! I definitely recommend Marta to anyone looking for someone reliable, talented, and easy to work with.

Is your little one into twirly princess dresses at 3? Did they get glasses at 5? Is 8 the year they started looking all grown up?

Annual birthday photography gives you a fresh new portrait for your home every year—and trust me, you’ll love looking back on how much they’ve changed!

Picture this: 18 years of birthday portraits displayed at their graduation party—how amazing would that be?

Trying to decide between a studio session or an outdoor birthday photoshoot? Both have their own unique charm, so it really depends on the vibe you’re going for!

studio birthday photoshoot

A studio birthday photoshoot gives you a timeless, elegant look with perfect lighting and a weather-proof setup. It’s a great option if you want beautifully polished portraits with a controlled environment. Plus, you’ll have access to my client wardrobe, so we can style the perfect outfit for the session.

outdoor birthday photoshoot

On the other hand, an outdoor birthday photoshoot brings a more natural, playful, and relaxed feel. Whether it’s running through a field of wildflowers or capturing the golden hour glow, outdoor sessions allow for more candid, action-packed shots. Seasonal settings like spring blossoms or autumn leaves make for absolutely stunning backdrops.
