This adorable little girl turned one last month and I was fortunate to be asked to do her one year photos as well photographing her first birthday. Who wouldn’t enjoy capturing some special memories for this cute little one?! It hardly seems possible that it had been 9 months since I first met Indy – and to see what she is doing, truly amazing and exceptional! She’s petite, but most certainly makes up for that in nearly every other way possible. She’s been walking for three months and communicates quite well with her parents using sign language. What a great way for both her and her parents to figure out what they are saying. It was quite funny, she used the sign for “please” after her dad gave her her first sip of soda (ginger ale) and she wanted more….and used please – again and again…we couldn’t help but laugh…she knew what she liked and wanted more! This afternoon was beautiful and the yard at their home was perfect to capture some photos to commemorate her first birthday. We had so much fun and I was truly in awe of how good and cooperative Indy was during the session…she was a real trooper and was so good and sweet!!
I absolutely this photo…it wasn’t easy to get Indy to hold still with the umbrella, but we managed to get a couple of shots and this was my favorite…her expressions and those eyes, oh, those eyes…so striking and beautiful!!
Indy certainly enjoys time with her dad and mom and as you can see, whether it be play or snuggle time…she loves being with them….as well as their dogs, Roxy and Lily who are very sweet dogs!
Ahhh, the cupcake smash…I must say, she was the BEST little one with her cupcake of all I’ve ever done. It might be because she’s never had anything like this before or maybe she just knows what is good and who can resist this yummy looking cupcake with the pink icing?!! NO help or encouragement was needed with Indy, all of this “mess” is all her, she totally ROCKED this cupcake smash!!!!!
Naturally, we had to get some of Indy with her parents…we didn’t want to leave them out and besides, Indy will have to share “mom and dad” come next spring, so she might as well get in all the one on one time she can now! What a great family…this is what makes my job the best ever…getting to meet and hang out with such a neat family…I’m truly blessed as is this family…they have one another and being with those you love is what life is all about!
And, I even managed to get Jack out there, and he was having so much fun with the binonculars….he has the BEST eyes and I absolutely LOVE his hair (and Evan’s!)….it’s wonderful!
We managed to get them all looking at the camera for at least one shot…most of the time it was playtime, at least for the boys…I must say, Erin sure has her hands full with the boys (all of them!!).
Trying to get boys and dogs all happy and paying attention, most certainly a challenge – and one that I’m not so sure I was very successful at this day, but here are a couple and I must say, I almost like the one with Jack crying the best…he was not happy about staying put, he just wanted something to drink as he was hot….poor little guy!
