one year old

Casey is one! And adorable and adored by her parents, Katrina and Joe, plus older siblings, Jordan and Shayla. The family purchased my baby package to document Casey’s first year, beginning with a maternity session, and this was their last session before I put together their one year memory album. It seems almost impossible that it was a year ago that I arrived 5 minutes late to photograph Casey’s birth. One minute Katrina was 4cms dilated and then the next Casey was already with us. I couldn’t believe how quickly she zoomed into the world and that I had missed…

A pair of denim jackets, a beautiful spring day…Ok. I think I want another one. Serious, look at all the cuteness blossoming out of this session. Stevie Lynn is such a big blue eyed love pumpkin—and to think that I had the honor of being there when she was born just about one year ago. You can feel how loved she is in the way she moves around her world- both connected to her mama and curious and independent too.

They’re also super easy-going which makes them, and Graydon, easy and fun…

This is one of those posts that is going to elicit a chorus of “Awwww!” from everyone who visits it. The rosebud lips, the chubby arms, the strand of pearls, the HUGE smile… How can you not swoon? This little girl is a DOLL!. I have known mom and dad, John and Elisha, for 4 years now. Just 3 years ago, they were married at this same location: the beautiful Fausel Ranch. (Take a peek at their gorgeous wedding here and notice how they don’t look ANY different. Could have been yesterday.) So, it seemed fitting that we return to Fausel…
