Granger, Indiana Photographer | Family Pictures at Home for William's First Birthday

This sweet little guy just turned ONE! William is the happiest little boy, full of giggles, showing off those bright blue eyes and those perfectly spaced, Chiclet-style baby teeth. I swear there is nothing cuter than the way a one-year-old’s smile lights up a room. Honestly, those teeth alone deserve their own photo session.


Why Home Sessions Make Magic

Mom chose their home for this milestone session, and I couldn’t agree more with her decision. When families choose their home as the backdrop, it instantly puts everyone at ease. No rushing out the door, no stiff outfits, no trying to get kids to behave in unfamiliar places. Just real life, exactly how you want to remember it.

Kids especially thrive at home. They know the smells, the spaces, and the comfort of their own routines. And when you’re celebrating a milestone as precious as a first birthday, why not make it stress-free for everyone?


Details I’m Loving

One of this family’s favorite things to do is sit on their back deck and just be together. Simple, right? But it’s in those quiet moments, when the sun dips low and the air feels warm, that the best memories are made. That’s what we captured here — real connection, real laughter, and the unique story of William at one.

Some of my favorite shots from this evening were of William snuggled up with mom and dad, giggling on the deck, and flashing that toothy grin that makes your heart melt. Every click of the shutter felt like a little time capsule.


As a photographer, that’s my ultimate goal — to capture not just faces, but feelings. I hope that every time this family looks back at these images, they’re transported right back to William’s first birthday season, to those cozy evenings on the deck, and to the sweet comfort of home.

If you’re considering a milestone session for your little one, think about keeping it simple. Sometimes the best backdrop is right outside your back door.


📩 Let’s chat! I’d love to help you capture your family’s next milestone in a way that feels natural, fun, and perfectly you.
