Charlotte Paige || Oh How You've Grown || Third Birthday

Our sweet little girl, it’s hard to believe you turn three today.  I just laid you down for your daily nap and while I sit here reflecting on all of the wonderful little things I love about my little girl I find myself thankful that 1. I have you and your brother on the same schedule and 2. That I’m fortunate enough to be here everyday with you watching you learn and grow.

This past weekend we celebrated this little man’s first birthday with family and friends. It was such a great day!

Cooper || Remembering Top Knot || Turning One

When we found out we were having a little boy, I knew even then that milestones like his first haircut would be cherished memories.

So in an effort to preserve those locks just a bit longer, your daddy and I couldn’t help ourselves to do a little styled shoot with you. You’ll look back one day and google search “manbun” and see where we found our inspiration. For just a few more days you’ll be my topknot and someday I’ll get to look back on these playful little images with a smile and all the memories wrapped up into your year with long locks.

Carter James || Turning Two || Mingo Park Lifestyle Session

2-year-olds are fast… I mean really fast. I know I have one myself. Carter was on the go our whole session, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want. You want your little one to feel comfortable and be themselves, and that’s exactly what I aim to capture.

Sometimes life's little challenges bring out the best in us.I never imagined having an urban newborn shoot, and hitting the city streets with a sweet little baby was definitely something unknown for me.... but spending time with this family, this sweet little girl, made for an amazing day out.
