First Birthday Photoshoot in Toronto Studio – Candid Chaos & Sweet Smiles

I had so much fun with this sweet family at Mint Room Studios! Their almost-1-year-old was full of energy, learning to walk, and excited to show off his new steps in a beautifully decorated floral studio from Mother’s Day. This first birthday photoshoot in Toronto was full of candid moments, laughter, and joy — exactly what I love capturing as a family photographer in Toronto.

Whether you’re planning your first family photo session or just love seeing what other family galleries look like, here’s a peek into what made this one so special.

J was super excited to try and climb the stairs, crawl around curtains and move furniture around the room. We matched his energy by playing kissing and jumping games, playing his favourite music and allowing him to explore and practice his steps!

Near the end we had a quick power break with a snack and some cuddles.


All that running around has him warm, so his mom knew he would feel better to forgo the pants - and so we snuck in some amazing fun smiles at the end when he felt free and cool!
I’m all about rolling with the day and making any scenario work for you and your family :)

These are the moments that go by fast — the little grins, the zooming toddlers, the tiny fingers all wrapped around yours. I’m so grateful I get to capture them for families like yours.
