MY OH MY…how I love watching my “babies” grow during their first year. And, this little one is the second in her family that I’ve been photographing since she was born…what a darling she is, as is her sister! Beautiful Ava turned one at the end of June and it was a little later than her birthday when we had her one year session scheduled. It was a delight to see how she’d grown as well as to see her big sister, Brylee, and their parents…this family has become friends over the years and I SO enjoy seeing them and catching up on what they’ve been up to! Ava wasn’t quite walking, but I would imagine she probably is by now…and her personality was TOO cute…I loved watching her, especially with her big sister! The dynamics between siblings is always interesting and I can see that Ava is certainly not going to be left behind and will whatever it takes to keep up with Brylee…she’s a determined and bright baby who knows just what she wants…I LOVE that about babies!!!
Brylee couldn’t wait to show me her new swing/playset in the back yard and boy, does she love it…and is not at all afraid of the slide…as you can see!!
And she loves swinging as well and wanted to show me how well she swings and pumps her legs.
Look at this BEAUTIFUL one year old…such pretty eyes and a smile that most certainly shines…
LOVED watching them with their little tea set…of course, Ava seemed to enjoy the “drop the cup” game more than “sipping” her tea…it was so cute!
I”m sure that Ava is trying to tell me…ENOUGH, no more photos! Or maybe she’s reaching for the blue feather duster…LOL
Cupcake smash…she was a bit unsure to start off, but then seemed to enjoy creating a mess and showing us just all that she had done…one of my favorite parts of a one year session!
A little time “daddy time” which as you can see is priceless…melts my heart when I see photos like this…so sweet!
We didn’t want Brylee to feel left out, and since she’s 3 1/2, it was a great chance to capture some special photos of just her!!
LOVE this one on the right…the expression just cracks me up!!!
Oh, the giggles are about the BEST part of babies…and this little cutie was really flirting with my hubby…it was so stinking cute!!
LOVE ~ LOVE ~ LOVE
I am in love with these photos…this family is so delightful, sweet and kind…and capturing some special memories for their family makes me realize this is JUST why I do what I do…I love capturing “life” for a family to cherish and share for a lifetime! Rick and Jessica…your girls are the sweetest, you know how much I love them and photographing them! Thank you for opening your home to us for each session…I can’t wait until the next time…Is it January yet?!!
