The birthday gift thread got me thinking of starting to think about what to tell people when they ask me what I want for Christmas. I'm notorious for not having a list.

I thought about asking for cash to go towards a family session with M. I never did a maternity or newborn session and I kinda really regret it. So I would love to do a family session either for the holidays or a family/1 year/cake smash session for M.

If you did a 1 year session when did you do it? Before LO's birthday? After? Day of? Her birthday is on a Sunday so we'll be having her party on her actual birthday so day of is out.

Also what do you think would be better? Holiday photos or 1 year? I live up north so the idea of a "winter wonderland" shoot is enticing! She'll be about 8 months around the holidays.

Thanks!
