Addison's Cake Smash!

Everyone will warn you that it will go by so fast. They will comfort you on the hard days by reminding you of how soon it will be over and how you'll be begging for those baby days again. It's hard to believe, but then you blink and your baby is one.
I can't even believe that one year ago we were celebrating her arrival with a birth story and a newborn session and now here she is 365 days later embracing baby life while dipping her feet feet in to toddlerhood! That little squishy baby that could easily lay in one of your arms becomes hard to hold with two hands let alone one because one year olds are here there and everywhere.
The next year will likely go faster and the milestones just as epic as you say goodbye to the baby days and hello to the days of strong willed independence. But my goooodness aren't they just the cutest little cheeky monkeys at this stage!?

We ended the session by sending a balloon up to Addi's twin sister. It was really really lovely.

A couple days after this, I documented Addi's first birthday party!

Baby Fiona

To document a family in their home as they have just added a new member which changes the dynamics in the house, is quite special. Life with little ones is crazy precious! I love how the family themselves are still getting used to their new normal, so I love documenting all the wonder and amazement and joy that come with those first few weeks. You can clearly see what I am talking about in the images from this family session. Baby Fiona will never be that tiny again, the newborn stage is over so fast! And the way big sister interacts with her new baby sister is so darling!! And during the many feedings, outfit changes, and adorable cuddles that mom is busy with, dad is with big sister because when a new baby comes along, the older siblings naturally rely more on dad for their needs. I love photographing those moments a lot! They're the real life moments that are worth capturing because looking back at these days will be something you do throughout your entire life.
