Baby Reatlegile came to the studio with her mom, dad, and 13-year-old sister to celebrate her first birthday. She explored her cake slowly and confidently — not very smiley, but full of the sweetest, dapper little expressions.
She ended her session with a warm bubble bath, splashing and relaxing like a pro. Simple, soft and absolutely adorable.
We’ve been celebrating this beautiful family for years — from big sister Aarya’s cake smash, to Ayan’s newborn photoshoot, and now his adorable Winnie-the-Pooh first birthday session.
Ayan may not be walking yet, but he definitely explored every bit of his set with curiosity and charm. He tasted, poked, and played with his cake, and big sister proudly joined in the fun.
It was a sweet, simple session filled with gentle smiles, warm family moments, and the cutest little birthday boy at the centre of it all.

This little one thoroughly enjoyed his cake smash — the giggles were endless! From the first curious poke to full-on laughter, he made every moment joyful and full of personality. A happy, messy celebration for his very first birthday.

Service was truly top notch. They were ready for us when we got there and the patience Jenna and her husband have with the kids is just amazing. My son is not much of a smiling type, especially in new surroundings, but they managed to get a couple of smiley pictures of him. Their work is just absolutely gorgeous and both my babies came out looking amazing! Definitely going back for more special moments to be captured by them.
KIND WORDS
The photoshoot was honestly such a great experience — we enjoyed every minute of it! Jenna was friendly, warm, and she works fast (which is exactly what you need with little ones). She kept things fun and relaxed, and even when the kids got a bit fussy, she handled it calmly and confidently. We left feeling happy and looked after, and the photos turned out beautiful. Highly recommend!

KIND WORDS
We used Jenna D Photography for our newborn photo session and were so impressed with their work, we upgraded to a full first year package (4 sessions). They captured all of the precious moments, are great with young kids and their high quality photos will be on our mantel forever.
