Pretty Dresses, Messy Cake – 1st Birthday

Last year, when baby “O” was born, she was scheduled to have her newborn session with me. But, I got into a little accident and severely injured my ankle, leaving me on crutches and unable to walk. I wasn’t even able to sit comfortably. I was so saddened that her session was one of the few that had to be canceled. But we were able to get her entire family in a few months later when I reopened. And mom quickly scheduled her 1st birthday session at the same time. This time around, it wasn’t me who had an ouchy. Baby “O” had got the chicken pox, but she healed up just in time for her session. We only postponed it by a few days. 🙂 She was happy as can be when she came in. A little nervous of heights (chairs), but she was quickly making her way all over with her speed-crawling! As always, I had lots of fun coming up with silly ways to get her attention. She didn’t want silly ol’ toys, she made me work to get those smiles! But I don’t mind! I can’t wait for her to come in again and make me “work” even more! To see one more image from this session, click HERE to view it on my Facebook page.

(I decided to make a few customizations for this session. Each set had something made by hand. I have done this a few times before and have decided that I will continue to create these small little handmade touches to give each session an extra unique look and feel. What do you think?)
