Empress Schuck's daughter Athalia turned one this September 27.
The mother and daughter had a pre-birthday photo shoot to mark the day.
On Baby Athalia's special day, the 23-year-old first-time mom kept the celebration intimate and personal.
Together with her partner Vino Guingona, the actress cooked up a Pinoy-style birthday meal: chicken-with-spaghetti combo topped with chocolate birthday cake.
The small party was held at home.
Empress wrote on her Instagram post, "Our pinoy style celebration! Happy Birthday to our favorite person ever!! We love you Athalia! Etu el de miyo alegria. Yes, mommy cooked. Haha."
