Addison's Cake Smash!

Everyone will warn you that it will go by so fast. They will comfort you on the hard days by reminding you of how soon it will be over and how you'll be begging for those baby days again. It's hard to believe, but then you blink and your baby is one.
I can't even believe that one year ago we were celebrating her arrival with a birth story and a newborn session and now here she is 365 days later embracing baby life while dipping her feet feet in to toddlerhood! That little squishy baby that could easily lay in one of your arms becomes hard to hold with two hands let alone one because one year olds are here there and everywhere.
The next year will likely go faster and the milestones just as epic as you say goodbye to the baby days and hello to the days of strong willed independence. But my goooodness aren't they just the cutest little cheeky monkeys at this stage!?

We ended the session by sending a balloon up to Addi's twin sister. It was really really lovely.

A couple days after this, I documented Addi's first birthday party!

Bon Anniversaire Grand-mère!

One of the greatest gifts you can give a parent or a grandparent, is a photoshoot. Portraits really are the gift that keeps on giving because photos are such cherished items that get hung on the wall and placed in photo books for people to look at and reflect back on. So for this Grandma's birthday we hangout for a couple hours and snapped a bunch of pictures around the home and then headed to their local park. It was such a beautiful sunny spring day creating such a pretty scene for us. We got so many sweet pictures! 

It's A...GIRL!

{birth story}

Sometimes births are a real party! The whole family is there cheering! The love and excitement in this room was radiant and this mama was glowing with confidence. It's so lovely to see that kind of support and I really appreciate hospitals that respect the mothers support team by allowing them all in the room! I'm noticing it happen more and more. 
These are some favourite images from this birth. Scroll down to the bottom of this post to watch the full story, it's a tear jerker...aren't they all?!
