1st birthday photos

I love this family. Anyone who has been following me from the beginning knows this, and probably recognizes them. They have been with me from the very beginning, and stayed with.  I’ve gotten to know them and their extended family and am grateful for the opportunity as they are such sweet people.  Mom is super creative, artistic and organized. Every time she schedules a session I know it’s going to be fun. Dad is perhaps the best husband for pictures I have seen. He goes along with all our crazy ideas and does what ever it takes to get the shots.  I am seriously thankful to you Z. for making my job easy, I know it’s torture for you =)  I love the fact that you were even willing to change clothes to reproduce a shot we did at your maternity session, it was worth it. It came out great and I love it!

I headed on up to the “O’s” house in the wee hours this morning. We wanted to start our session with some lifestyle shots of baby “B” in her own surroundings. I LOVE when clients want to personalize a session like this. Baby “B” obviously enjoyed it too as she was full of smiles as she showed me around her room.  We then headed down the street to a local farm where the birthday girls party will be held in a couple of weeks.  It was cold and windy but we managed to get some great shots.  I have to say a huge thank you to Nana who helped me get all the beautiful smiles you see below.

It was great to see you all again. I truly can’t thank you enough for including me in this journey you’ve both taken and for honoring me with the job of capturing it.  I have loved seeing “B” grow up over the past year and getting to know you all both as clients and friends.
