Every now and again I step way outside my comfort zone and do something special for a special client. I’ve been photographing little miss Addie since she was born- literally, moments after she was born. We’ve done birth photos, well- her momma had an emergency c-section and I wasn’t allowed in the room, but we did as close to birth photos as we could, then newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and now the big ONE-TWO. For these babies, and maybe parents too, I’m probably just someone who pops in every couple months for an hour or two. I may even be a little bit of a chore 😉 I mean, let’s face it, baby sessions are hard work! For me, I spend countless hours before and after sessions, cleaning, thinking about set ups, and then making sure these babies look just as sweet and soft-skinned in their photos as they do in person. I feel a certain bond with them. So, when Addie’s mom told me she really wanted studio images for Addie’s 12 month session, but also desperately wanted pictures of her birthday party, I couldn’t help but offer both. It’s not something I would normally do. Believe it or not, I’m a bit shy. Birthday parties are not my thing. But sometimes, just sometimes, that’s ok 🙂

Oh my goodness, Heather! I am SO thankful for you!!! Amazing, as always. I just cannot express how much these mean to me. Thank you. 🙂
And again, the pics are wonderful!
Love it! Precious little girl!
Such a cute little grin!
