Happy 1st Birthday | Personal Posting

Yesterday was a happy but bittersweet day for me as we celebrated our little girl's first birthday.  Bittersweet in knowing that her baby stages are slowly going to be a distant memory, but also happy in watching her grow.  Happy in seeing the love that her brother has for her grow each and every day, but also bittersweet in knowing that the "sibling fights" will soon be starting.  (I just pray that they have a bond like my brother and I have, despite the "sibling fights" we use to have....sorry for all those headaches we must have given to you mama.)

Lexi.....We hope that you had a wonderful birthday yesterday and can't wait to celebrate it this weekend.  Mama, Daddy and Zak love you very much. 

These are not official birthday pictures, just some pictures throughout the year with her.  Here official birthday/cake smash pictures will be coming soon.

 

His first time holding his baby sister.  He was in love the moment he saw her.

 

 

I have a picture of my dad and Zak just like this....must go dig it up.  Looking at this picture, I can't believe how much Zak and Lexi look alike.

Photographing families is so much fun for me.  I love to see the bond that mothers and fathers have with their children, the way the kids eyes light up when you talk to them and get to know them better as you are asking about their favorite things, and just getting the know the family in general.  

I've know the mother of this family for a while now as we have grown up together, but have had fun getting to know her daughter and husband (and her better) through the past sessions that we've had together.  They are such a sweet loving family and I truly have so much fun with them. 

It turned out to be a chilly morning the day that we met for this session, despite the few days before when it was so warm.  However, we still had a lot of fun.  Kristen you have one beautiful little girl, and she is so much fun to be around.

Enjoy!
