First Birthday Pictures | Charlotte Baby Photographer

First birthdays are the best.  I can’t believe this adorable girl is already a big one year old.  It seems like just a few months ago that we captured her as a newborn, a few weeks ago that she turned 6 months old, yesterday that she was 8 months and now, here she is at 365 days young.  Miss Emma has always been the happiest baby and this year she’s the subject in quite a few of my own personal favorites.

Her big brother is pretty darn cute too and he was all kinds of helpful at this shoot – reading to his baby sister, helping her open first birthday gifts and waiting patiently while she smashed {I mean destroyed} the cake.  I’m so happy that her family chose me for her Baby Bundle this year.  I love to celebrate childhood milestones but this one made me a little sad.  I’ve really grown to love this family and have enjoyed every. single. minute. of our sessions this year.  Contact me for more information about my Baby Bundle package and pricing.

Mom says she might just have another baby so that we can start all over again.  How did she read my mind?  I’m ready.

Welcome to my blog! I’m a child and family photographer based in Charlotte NC.

 

Parents always ask, “what if my kid doesn’t listen?” My answer: that’s actually perfect. Don’t tell your children I said so, but personalities shine when listening ears fail. I welcome the silly. I want the giggles. I watch for honest smiles, real connections and stolen family moments.

 

This applies to your big kids and high school seniors too. Wink, Wink.
