Rebekah Rector Photography

Four generations - all in one place.
That alone is something worth holding onto.

There's something so special about slowing down long enough to capture this - the way she looks at her, the way little hands hold on tight, the quiet, in-between moments that become everything later.

These are the kinds of images I wish I had. I lost my grandparents before most of my kids had the chance to know them and it definitely changed the way I see moments/sessions like this.

So if you've been thinking about taking the photos- this is your reminder to do it!
Even if it's not perfect. Even if it feels like "someday."

Because one day, these won't just be pictures, they'll be part of your family's story!

There's something about that almost-one-year stage that just hits different.

They're not tiny newborns anymore, but they're not quite toddlers either. Their personality is coming out more everyday! And this sweet girl- truly the happiest baby I've ever seen! She smiled through the entire session, and it was impossible not to smile right back!

Sessions like this are a reminder of how fast this season goes. Your first baby only turns one once, and these are the moments you'll want to hold onto! Which is why I always recommend getting family photos at a one year cake smash session. They are only this small, cute and squishy for such a short amount of time.🥹
