We were a little late for this session, but better late than never and life happens, you know? Kids get sick, the holidays start, and before you know it, it's December. This one-year session was an adventure because Evie is walking now! It just makes everything a little more interesting :) Throughout this year, I have loved how family heirlooms have been worked into the sessions. From clothes to blankets to this sled, Evie's photos are a family treasure trove and as someone who loves family memories, I think that is the coolest thing ever! I hope she'll love it too when she's older and can learn about the items in her pictures.
I have loved getting to photograph Evie through this year. It's been fun to see her grow and I love knowing that her parents have these photos to remember this time and freeze little moments of her first year. I only saw her every three months, so I saw the big changes, but they were with her every day, so it was more gradual. I hope these sessions were a blessing to them. Evie was surprising me in this session! We did photos in the living room, which is gated off so the kids don't get into things without an adult in the room. I thought she'd love the Christmas tree, but she wasn't all that interested. We also had all kinds of Christmas toys, some of which she'd never seen before. I thought she'd sit with some of them for a least a few minutes, but no! She just wanted to walk all over! Back and forth, around and around. It was pretty funny. I've never known a kid to not sit with new toys for a minute or two. I was lucky if I got 30 seconds :) It was all good though. I love photographing kids exploring and "doing their thing" in their element. It's real and shows their curious and playful natures and that's what we got of Evie. Sometimes they move themselves into a position that I could never get them to do if I was trying to pose them that way and I get a gem of a photo! Letting kids play and explore can really bring out the best in them! Happy first birthday, Evie!!
