Happy Birthday my little Nater! This guy is my nephew so I was super exited to get him in front of the camera for some Mommy & Me portraits with my sister in Law and celebrate 1 year of life! He just moved back to DFW and my family and I are so excited to have him nearby. Nathan is such a joyful spirt, loves to explore, play and smile tons! Can’t wait to watch this guy grow up along side my three crazies. Love you little man!

Check out this daper young man all decked out in winter white for his one year! Oliver is styling and it is not an accident as his Mom, Abbie, is one of the most stylish women I know. This little guy is amused by the silliest things – like an air pump blowing his Daddy’s beard. I must say, I sometimes want a secret behind the scenes camera capturing the parents shenanigans to get their littles to laugh and smile for the camera! That would be a reel to watch!
After some fun park photos and family shots we headed inside to warm up and to get dirty with a smash cake! Oliver wore a cute little denim diaper cover and bandana with his sprinkle cake to celebrate the BIG ONE! Happy Birthday Oliver – I have loved going on this journey with you over the past year.

Look at this cutie! Jacob should be in an ad with his sweet smile and styling outfit. This kid just steals my heart every single time! We had a beautiful and surprisingly warm winter day for this session with some oh so perfect golden light. I am in love! This boy cheesed it up for me and devoured his smash cake – like I think he would have ate the entire thing if Mommy and me didn’t take it away. Good thing they were taking this kid to dinner afterwards – he is a hungry growing man! Big Sister Maddie was a ham as always and given the chance would have totally stolen the spotlight from her baby brother. Of course we had to get some family pics in – so glad Dad could be there! Happy Birthday Jacob!

How time has flown since this little guy was born. He turned one a bit ago but we waited to do this session until we could get Daddy to join us for some family photos. I was excited to finally get them all together, get photos with Dad and we even had the chance to get a few cousin photos and grandparents in on the game! Jay is just darling and looks so much like his Mama! He was so excited to play and is definitely a spirt filled one year old now. His entire motto for the session was fun fun fun! He was pretty excited with his treat though, smashing a cake is always the best! Happy Birthday big guy!

Jacks is ONE! I can’t believe this year has flown by so fast! He is such a sweetie and I have loved following him on this journey with Morgan & Jason his parents. They joined us at the Botanic Gardens last week for some family photos and of course a smash cake! Jacks was ready for his cake! Carrying it around all session I think his eyes were pretty consistently trained on that box. He was happy to finally get a taste and I don’t blame him – Mom picked it up from Leah’s Sweet Treats, a fabulous Fort Worth bakery. He enjoyed it until it got a bit too messy for him. Happy Birthday Jacks!
These kiddos are SO CUTE! I loved hanging out with them and their little brother, Nathan who is about to turn the big ONE! Nathan went a little crazy with his Stir Crazy Baked Goods cake, MMMMmmmmm! Happy Birthday little man!

Oh my goodness how time has flown!!! It seems like just yesterday I was hanging out at this little guys house for his newborn photos. Now he is a big boy and ONE! He is definitely a Super Cooper (his birthday theme.) It has been so amazing to be a part of his first year and I know he will continue to blossom into an amazing little boy.

This little bug is PRECIOUS!!! Vivi turned one last Wednesday and I got to spend time with her on her birthday to take these sweet pictures to show how BIG she is getting. We played indoors because it was chilly outside but she warmed up the room with her bright spirit. I can’t get enough of her, read on to see her pure prettiness.
What, me?
With Mommy.
She refused to wear the hat but I loved the movement and spirit of this image.
This was Mommy’s favorite book when she was little, it was just introduced to Vivi but I have a feeling she will hear it allot and it will soon be one of her favorites too!
On the MOVE! She may not be stepping yet but this girl is quite proficient at crawling.
Pretty and proud, I love this photograph.
her eyes just sparkle in the right light.
Mmmmm, My Mommy makes the best cake.
Her Mommy makes fabulous cakes actually, she is the owner of Sugar Bee Sweets in Arlington. Haven’t heard of them, well then you must stop in for an amazing cake ball or cupcake. They are stocked daily and DELISH!
A little family time for our indoor campers.
Yesterday my little baby boy turned ONE! I can’t believe it has already been a year, it flew by! This last year has brought SO many blessings in all areas of my life and I wanted to share the best one with my clients and readers. Gideon will be having a Circus themed birthday today but yesterday we headed outside for some priceless portraits. I made this awesome A-Frame tent from a tutorial I found on pinterest and then made a little bunting of paper flowers to add some color. Giddy smashed a sweet cake from Creme de la Creme. The cake they made for his birthday today is AH-Mazingly cute. Like so cute I don’t want to eat it! His sweet bow tie was from etsy and other odds and ends from our studio prop closet. I love my boy and adore how his first birthday photos came out. It was fun playing with a theme and creating something special for him.
Carson is ONE! I love photographing this awesome milestone. We played with balloons, smashed a cake and I had a work out chasing this rambunctious toddler around our studio. Happy Birthday Carson!
