The Sweet Wonder of One: A 1-Year Milestone Session at the Beach | Tasha

There’s something so heartfelt and beautiful about photographing a one-year milestone. It’s a celebration of growth, of love, and of a family who has spent the past year learning, laughing, and finding joy in every “first.” This session was no exception — filled with golden light, salty air, and the kind of laughter that only a one-year-old can spark.

At one year old, everything is an adventure. Every texture, sound, and smile feels brand new. Watching this little one explore the sand between her fingers, snuggle her favorite stuffed animals, and beam up at her parents was pure magic. Her curious eyes and soft giggles reminds us how fleeting this stage is — how quickly those tiny hands and hesitant steps turn into confident runs.

This family celebrated the 1-year milestone of their baby at the beach just before sunset. The warm light wrapped around this family like a soft hug, creating the perfect backdrop for outdoor family photos. Between the cuddles, playful lifts into the air, and the quiet in-between moments, Tasha captured the essence of this family perfectly.

A first birthday isn’t just a celebration for the baby — it’s for the parents, too. It’s the culmination of a year of sleepless nights, first smiles, and overwhelming joy. It’s a time to pause and reflect on how much has changed in twelve short months — and to hold on tightly to this chapter before it slips quietly into the next.

We love sessions like these, they’re not just about capturing milestones, but about preserving the emotion and connection that define them. Because one day, these photographs will remind this family not just what their little one looked like at one — but how it felt to be here together in this beautiful moment.
