Celebrating your little one's first birthday is such a special milestone in life.
It all goes by so quickly, but is filled with so many memories. As a family photographer, being able to capture those special moments and all the love is a blessing.
I was lucky enough to capture this sweet family for a maternity photoshoot, then an outdoor newborn session once their sweet babe arrived.
So meeting again, a year later, where we met for their maternity photos only made all the smiles, and all the love even better.
So keep on scrolling and see a few of my favorites from this sweet first birthday session OR to book your own session, CLICK HERE for all the information.
