Whimsical First Birthday Photos with a Balloon Basket in Austin

Looking for a creative way to celebrate your baby’s first year? This whimsical milestone session features a custom balloon basket setup, natural light, and a baby girl full of personality. I love helping families document birthdays in a way that’s playful, imaginative, and still true to who your child is at this age.

Balloon Basket to Celebrate One Year Around the Sun

This colorful setup brought major adventure vibes to the session… complete with a DIY basket set-up, pastel balloons, and an outdoor backdrop. It was the perfect nod to a baby girl’s first trip around the sun.

Sweet Simplicity for a Second Look

After the balloon setup, we kept things classic with a white chair, soft outfit, and plenty of space to let her personality shine. Milestone sessions don’t have to be elaborate… sometimes all you need is good light and a baby doing their thing.
