Mom and dad always say that one of their favorite parts of their job is the people they get to meet.  Weslie and her family are so awesome.  We first met them for a newborn session and through their daughter’s first year they’ve become friends of ours.  Their little girl just turned one and came for her first birthday session on Friday.  The changes that occur during the first year of a baby’s life are incredible.  They grow so quickly and every week or two there is a new milestone!  It was so fun for dad to capture that for Weslie and Jeremy’s daughter this past year.

Newborn:

Three Months:

Six Months (and one of mom’s favorite pictures):

Nine Months:

And now her one year pictures!  Dad must have been boring because things started off with a big yawn:

So precious!

And now for the fun to begin.  Time to smash the cake!

Well maybe not smash.  Maybe just pinch the cake.

She didn’t seem too sure about the getting messy part.

Could it be that there is a kid that isn’t sure if she likes cake?

Cake-flavored pacifier is just as yummy.

Happy birthday!  Thank you so much for sharing your first year with us, even after moving out of state!  We are so happy to have met your family and we are excited for all the wonderful blessings you have in your lives right now.  Come back and visit soon!
