I photographed little T for his newborn portraits and I can’t believe how much he has grown. I feel so honored to photograph him for his one year portraits too! Thanks so much Christie and Joe for trusting me to document this special time! I had so much fun playing with him during the session…but I think he enjoyed the part where he got to eat his smash cake the most!! 🙂 I’ve never seen a baby devour a cake like he did. Talk about CUTE!!! I had to try to remember to keep shooting because I was just so tickled by him! Hope you enjoy the peek of your precious little boy!

Look at that face!!! He is so precious! And yes, that is the plate the cake came on…he was licking it clean! 🙂

I am so lucky that I get to photograph the most gorgeous clients ever!! Just look at the H family. Miss M and Miss A were quite the little models too. 🙂 They must get their looks from mommy and daddy… Jeannette and Mark, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your beautiful family! Looking through the images I can see the love you all share for one another and it is such a beautiful thing. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

I had the best time with Miss A at her second birthday photo session! She’s grown so much since last year and keeps getting more gorgeous each time I see her! She’s such a sweetheart and I had so much fun playing during our session. Thank you Erika and Max for asking me to capture your beautiful daughter again! I LOVE these images and think they capture her sweet spirit so perfectly…reading her book…playing with her cute curls…and having fun exploring!! 🙂 I hope you love them too!

One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is getting to watch the tiny newborns that I photograph grow up! It means so much to me that parents not only trust me with their precious newborn memories, but also want me to capture those other childhood milestones…like turning the big ONE! Today is M’s actual birthday. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY from your favorite photographer! 😉 He has the cutest smile!! I had so much fun at his session. We just let him do his thing and play and he was such a trooper! Thanks so much Melinda and Mark for trusting me to photograph your little one again. I know you are so proud of your precious boy! And, because it’s his birthday today, he gets a special BIG sneak peek! 🙂
