Just a few short months after photographing this sweet girl in the early days of spring, I was lucky enough to see her again to celebrate her very first birthday! Her huge range of expressions never fails to melt my heart and make me giggle all at the same time. And her parents have the BEST sense of humor, which is the single key to an awesome photo session!

When Miss E got really fixated on her birthday balloon, we had to get a little creative to keep her engaged with the rest of the world – so I had mom & dad take her for a little swing, and we got the cover photo (above)! One of my favorite shots of all time….love, love, love!!! xoxo

PS: If you love mama’s style as much as I do (that romper though!!), be sure to check out her blog here! It’s called Iced Coffee Mom, which makes it an automatic win in my book 😉
