So are you noticing a theme this week? This lil man just celebrated his FIRST birthday this past weekend! He’s the first of my March babes turing the big ONE! I love love love working with Laura & Jason & their family! I shot Laura’s lil sister’s wedding a couple of years ago & have been fortunate enough to continue working with the family! Through them I have met some more of my wonderfully awesome families in the Raleigh area! I LOVE traveling & getting out of the area every now & then for shoots! It refreshes & recharges me! My Raleigh clientele has been growing steadily the past year & I LOVE it!

The first time I shot Laura & her family was a few months after her sister’s wedding when they were down in the Outer Banks for a vacay! She had emailed & said they were coming down & wanted to set up a family shoot! A few minutes into the shoot Laura let me in on the secret that she was expecting! Woohoo! So you all get to meet baby L when he was just a tiny pea bump in there! :D Big sister to be looks so tiny & baby in their beach shots! Sorry if I keep boring you with the theme of watching my families grow! But it doesn’t hit me until I look back on past images & see how big “my” kids have gotten!

I was super excited to get the text that lil L was here & it was time to pack up the Commander & head up to Raleigh! I had another baby come a few days after him too so I shot a double header that day! Ummmm, that was exhausting! :D It’s a 3 hour drive there, minimum of 3-4 hours each baby, plus drive to next house 20 minutes away & then 3 hour drive back home! I must have been crazy that day trying to do it all!

Here’s a look back at lil L’s first year…starting with when he was a teeny tiny bump! :D

Big sis always has that sweet smile!

His birthday theme was sock monkeys! 

He looks like he needs to be a on a beach resort somewhere with that hat on! So cute!

Laura & Jason, THANK YOU both for letting me photograph the family growing! It’s been so much fun getting to know y’all & see the kids’ personalities shine! You guys are awesome & such fun, amazing parents & I look forward to documenting many more memories for y’all! Love y’all!

xoxo
