One year old

Having a birthday on the 4th of July comes with unique perks. There are always fireworks, and celebrating your birthday with a sky full of bright colors and explosions is unbeatable. The whole country is in a festive mood, making your birthday feel even more special. Plus, there’s always a BBQ or picnic happening. Enjoy delicious food with friends and family as your birthday party blends seamlessly into the holiday festivities. The red, white, and blue theme is perfect for decorations, making it easy to find festive decor for your celebration.

As I reflect on this session, I can’t help but feel grateful for moments like these. It’s a reminder of why I do what I do – to freeze these fleeting moments in time, to tell stories through my lens, and to celebrate the beauty of family in all its forms.
