I sat down to do her sneak peek last night and woke up at 3:24 am with my laptop on my lap. Motherhood kicked my butt yesterday, nonstop. So, I’m posting this a bit late, oops. Sorry for the delay Angela, I hope her party yesterday afternoon was a total blast!
She’s exactly 366 days old in this photo. 1 year, big girl Allison! So much fun yesterday and boy was she a trooper when we had a random cold morning in the middle of spring!
Austin is not exactly known for the changing of the colors…but we managed to find just a little. Want to know the best way to get a very busy one year old’s eye lashes captured? Hand over your iphone set to Tom the Talking Cat. No kidding! He may or may not have downloaded Texas Hold’em but hey, totally worth it to get the shot!! At least he’s got great taste in games! HA!
I usually get all nostalgic and a little sad when one of my baby planners graduates. I get so attached to them and get used to seeing them every couple of months. But not today. Nope, I’ve got this beautiful family on my 2011 calendar 3 times and I couldn’t be more thrilled about that! So today, just a little nostalgia over how fast this first year flew by, about how much she’s grown and changed and then just a bunch of smiles to celebrate being ONE!
Happy birthday sweet girl, it has been a joy to capture you along the way!
Catching up on a long list of sessions that I need to blog. Sweet baby girl turned one this summer. Their 12 month session was a little bittersweet….I’ve been missing her the last few months! A year in review baby plan slideshow….
Thanks for the memories sweet baby girl!
I spent this morning with sweet baby girl. She’s a baby planner and I’ve photographed Audrey every few months since she was in her momma’s belly. Driving to her last session on my calendar was a bit bittersweet. What will I do without my sweet baby girl fix every few months? From her birth day to her birthday, sleepy newborn days, her first pigtails, the pouty lip, sitting up, cuddling, snoozing, laughing, clapping, crawling, standing and birthday cake, so many photos and so many memories. Thanks for an awesome ride sweet baby girl, photographing your first year was an honor.
I’m going to do something tonight I’ve never done before. Usually sweet, thoughtful, emotion filled notes from my clients are kept private. Every now and then I’ll share one with my husband, but that is usually the extent of it. Some are hand written, some are sent via email, some make me cry, some get filed into a happy folder that I go back and read often when I’m feeling tired or burned out, some get printed out and hung above my desk. One from the father-in-law of Alex Laynor is framed and holds it’s place in my heart as one of my most valued possessions. I love these happy notes of excitement, appreciation and ultimate expression of love […]
