Luke's 1 year session

Seems like just yesterday I was shooting Luke's 5-month spring mini's and here he is- a 1 year old! What what!! His mom is planning an "Up" themed birthday party and she brought some amazing props! Check out this hot-air balloon prop! And the little gas tank and car! Love it! And I'm a sucker for bright balloons in photo shoots. We ended the session with a smash cake and little Luke wasn't too sure about it! We had to do some coaxing for him to dig into that yummy cake. Isn't it funny how that works? When we don't want them touching stuff... they do. And when we need them to just dig in... they don't. Kids! Happy Birthday Luke!

Sofia's 1st Birthday

Hi friends! It's been a while since I blogged... I was just a little busy having a BABY GIRL! Yes, we have added onto our little family and are now a "party of 4"! So I have quite a few posts to add onto my little blog. First up is Miss Sofia's 1st Birthday party ! I photographed her mom's maternity session (One of my favorites EVER), her newborn session (she was the best baby!) and now.... her 1st birthday. I cannot believe how much she's grown & how quickly the year flew by. Her mom did a "Dora" theme and the highlight of the party was when a "Dora" character walked in.... I have never seen grownups freak out as much over a character... it was kind of funny! However Miss Sofia loved her and that's what matters! Happy First Birthday little lady!

Happy 1st Birthday Austin!

I love 1st birthday sessions and I especially loved doing this one. 1 year olds can be moody and unpredictable but not this little guy! What a happy, happy baby! I mean, he couldn't stop smiling!! He made my job pretty easy this day. The only thing he didn't care for was smashing his cake! Happy Birthday handsome!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Sweet Isabel is ONE! Seems like just yesterday I was doing her newborn shoot! I went to her house loaded down with balloons and a few props- unfortunately Little Miss was not in the best of moods and didn't want to smile too much for me on this hot summer day, but we did the best we could! Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Happy 1st B-day Carter!

Last weekend I photographed a 1st b-day party for a little doll-baby, Carter. Her mother put a lot of effort into the party and no detail was overlooked! The theme was a sort of shabby-chic meets Southern springtime. There was sweet tea and lemondade in mason jars, a sweets table, a candy table, pink pom-poms, rabbits and baby chicks! It was all so sweet and I loved it! Happy 1st Birthday Carter!
