Kelly and Chase purchased my Baby Package and this was their third session with me to celebrate their daughter, Makena’s, first birthday. You can see her newborn photos here and her 5-month session here. Wow, how time flies!
Makena was super cute as the birthday princess in her little pink tutu, prancing around Larsen’s Apple Barn, in Camino. Meanwhile mom had fun swapping out outfits, ribbons, and accessories.
Unfortunately, Makena was also teething, poor thing, which meant she wasn’t all smiles. Mom, Dad, and I spent some time holding her, distracting her with new activities, and, finally, soothing her with a welcome bottle of milk. It’s all part of the story of Makena, which is why I took some time to capture those moments too. Cute smiles for the camera are great but real life gives us the stories we end up sharing in 20, 30 years.
Finally, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to snag a photo with the birthday girl myself. It’s such an awesome privilege to watch a child grow through these sessions and I look forward to seeing more of Makena and her family in the future.
