A Birthday in the Woods

A little birthday celebration, tucked away among the trees.

These sessions are designed around your child’s first few birthdays — a simple, playful morning or afternoon in nature, with plenty of room for them to explore, play, and simply be themselves.

Before the session, we’ll work together to create a simple theme or idea that feels special to your child. We might bring along a small collection of their favorite stuffed animals dressed for the occasion, a few balloons, a favorite toy, or simply let the cake and the natural surroundings take center stage.

The session is centered on your child, with a handful of photographs with parents woven naturally into the story.

• 30-minute outdoor birthday session
• A simple birthday theme planned together
• A few carefully chosen props provided
• Gently guided, natural posing
• One carefully chosen outdoor location in Reston, Leesburg or Falls Church
• A small selection of photographs with parents
• You’ll receive at least 15 carefully edited images within 2 weeks

$250 per session

A limited number of sessions are offered at this initial rate as part of the first release of this series.

The Cake

Cake is not included with the session, but I have a wonderful baker friend who can create a small birthday cake especially for your child. She can work with you on the ingredients, including no-sugar options, and accommodate your preferences and specifications.

Cakes are approximately $30–$50, depending on the size, ingredients, and design. The cake is arranged and purchased directly from the baker.
