First Birthday Photography in New York and New Jersey
Mariela creates warm, expressive portraits to celebrate your baby’s first year. These sessions highlight personality, curiosity, and the little details that make this stage unforgettable. Families can choose simple milestone portraits or a full smash-cake setup, depending on the look they want.
What Families Can Expect
Mariela works with your baby’s energy, giving them time to settle, explore, and respond naturally. She keeps the setup clean and comfortable, guiding the session with gentle direction so parents can relax and enjoy the moment. The result is a gallery that captures expression, movement, and personality at this milestone age.
“She is a master at capturing the smiles of my three all at the same time, a miracle in itself! She has a wonderful balance of being easy-going at the same time as being professional and artistic.”
