Happy 1st Birthday to Cameron! | Sussex, WI Baby Milestone Photographer | Michelle Alyce Photography

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Cameron’s mama since she was pregnant with his big bro, Aiden. I was honored to have the opportunity to document Aiden’s first year and was SO excited to hear another little one was on their way so I could photograph them, too!

We immediately planned a maternity family session, one that would not only capture mama’s growing baby bump, but that would also show the love between this beautiful little family. We had the most beautiful summer night for our session at the lakefront!

It wasn’t too long after our maternity session that little Cam raced his way into this world! We gave him a little time to grow before bringing him to the studio for his newborn session. He was pretty alert and didn’t love being messed with but he did a great job and we created some beautiful memories!

After his newborn session, we waited until Cameron was sitting completely unassisted (yay, Cam!) before bringing him in for his next Milestone Session!

What seemed like only weeks later (time flies!) we were planning Cameron’s 1st Birthday Smash & Splash session!! Mom wanted a Wild One theme with animals so I ran with it. :) She brought a cute little crown from his birthday party and he actually kept it on for a minute so we could get it in photos!! I’m so happy with how well the set turned out (despite my finger burning incident while cutting out the animals) and LOVE Cam’s photos!
