“C” was so cute during her cake shots, she kept saying “mmm” the entire time she ate her cupcake. It must have been good! =)
It’s so fun to see one of my newborn clients turn 1! Just seeing how they’ve grown and their new budding personality. One year olds really are so sweet. They are just so happy to be hanging out… Some also are also constantly on the move, but “C” was content with staying wherever we put her. So, it made for an easy shoot.
Do you happen to remember this little one? Here’s a shot we did with her grandfather’s hat this year…. And here she is last year in a similar set up… Also, here’s a link to her newborn blog post.
I’ve had a few camera cards with family candids laying on my desk since this past summer, knowing I needed to get them onto my computer still. I finally got around to it on Friday. Last summer, I got to spend my days hanging out with my little cousins every other week. We spent a lot of time outside, swimming, having water balloon fights, doing sidewalk chalk art, picking flowers, and probably the most time was spent up in our woods on a fallen tree. They just loved climbing it and jumping off it into the wildflowers we have planted by it. It’s pretty cool that they are the 6th generation of McGill-McGhie-Millet’s to run around our farm. Can wait to be doing this again in four months or so….
These photos also make me laugh because I remember asking “C” “is it winter, today?” To which he replied, “No, it’s summer”, I then said “are you sure, because I think you may roast today with the temp being 80 something and hot. ” He looked at me like, “oh, man” and asked, “really?”. “Yep!” I believe he ended up putting his swimming trunks on at some point. The picture above blows me away because he looks exactly like his Dad, which I usually don’t always see because I can see his Mom in him as well, but in this photo all I see is his Dad. LOVE her laugh, it makes my heart smile. =)
