This little lady is quickly approaching her first birthday and it’s been too long since I’ve shared her sweet face with you! First a few from her 6 month session last fall at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. They live on a beautiful property we were hoping to incorporate but it was already too cold to venture outside. Darn Indiana!
And three months later, here is Lila hanging out on her home turf. I think she changed a lot since the last time…and she sure got more ornery ;) I just love her squished up smile below!
Miss Lila, I always look forward to seeing you and your big bro, Bear. Looking forward to your Birthday next month and the fabulous hats your mom will no doubt have ready for your session!
So, so hard to believe that an entire year has gone by since Deyton entered this world and made Kelly and Seth parents and also became my first Weeds baby! It has been such a pleasure to return to their home every few months and spend time with them. It really feels like you become a part of someone’s family when they allow you document such a personal milestone. Kelly joked that when I first came, she and Seth were worried about how clean their house was….and when I came for the one year session, she told Seth just to leave things as they are and Erin would move them if she needed to :) Being that I am a “5-minute shove everything into a closet because someone is coming over” gal, I took that as a huge compliment to our friendship (although their home is ALWAYS immaculate!).
Deyton’s little personality was really shining that day! His laughs were constant and got even bigger when Grandma showed up!
At each session, we have photographed Deyton with this same basketball that belongs to Daddy. It’s great to look back and compare Deyton’s size to that of the ball!
Kelly and Seth, thank you so much for sharing your son with me over this first year of his life! I have so enjoyed spending time with all of you and comparing parenting stories! And we’ll always have the memory of the poison ivy from his 9-month session :) Your little man is the sweetest, most adorable thing and I just adore him to pieces!
Here’s a little recap of Deyton over the past year!
Since I last shared Blake with you, he has taken to his feet and become very curious about the world around him. Still the sweet little boy with the big laughs but now he’s FAST! He had both myself and his mom chasing him down and doing absurd things to get one of those big smiles to appear. He is also sporting two new teeth and a big boy haircut!
Oh, Blakers, you just make me smile :) Can’t believe it’s been a year since I photographed your Mom and Dad while they were waiting for you! I expect a good workout when I see you next (as I’m sure you’ll have learned how to run by then)!
