It always surprises me when a first birthday rolls around, even after all these years. Time is a thief, and I feel particularly robbed with this one because of how far apart we are.

I cannot wait to see how she grows at her 9 month session!! It's been so fun to capture this girl's first year, and I'd love to capture your little one as well! I work diligently to make these...
