I'm usually pretty decisive when it comes between color and black and white...an image just *is* one or the other. But in this case, I just can't decide. Both have such different moods. Both are so very *her*. Decisions, decisions...
Since her newborn session and at 6 months she's had me wrapped around her adorably chubby little baby fingers. But I've become attached to her parents, too...
...and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring their property, where we decided to commemorate her 1 year birthday.
One year of motherhood. And fatherhood...
One full year as a family of three.
They have big plans for this place. Her daddy says he's going to build her a tree house right here.
They are a wonderfully connected couple.
We were packing up and heading to the car when I noticed this scene...
...and then we headed to the house for a few more...
The one at the top w/ her and her daddy...love (be sure to check out Blake's beautiful work.) I'd say parenthood looks good on them and they've done a wonderful job raising a joyful, charming baby girl.

This may very well have been the most active session I've ever
done...and that's saying a lot because there were only two people
involved. I think it very accurately reflects where he is in his life
right now, which is *exactly* what his mommy wanted to capture.
First we
flew planes and skateboarded...
...then we played piano overlooking the city...
...followed by more skateboarding...
...and snuggles from mom.
Then we practiced some edible spelling...
...football...
(I hope he appreciates his spectacular peepers)
...and of course some baseball:
(omg, LOVE the tongue).
More snuggles from mom and then to cap off the evening, a nice bike ride:
Yup. That covers it. We indeed did it all.

He reminds me so much of my middle son and it's been such a pleasure watching this little guy grow up over the years. He and his family are close to my heart.
I cannot deny that this little beauty takes my breath away on a regular basis. It's been a while since I've picked up the camera and just shot for the fun of it. It felt really good to do that and just hang out with my favorite little girl for a bit tonight.
You can get this dress from my talented sister-in-law 
And this dress
He is the kind of father I always dreamed I would have. She is the kind of daughter already wise enough to appreciate him.
