Kennedy's 1!!

I just saw sweet little kennedy three months ago at her 9 month session and I was so excited when her Mom Erin asked me to join them for her first birthday party! One of my favorite things about doing photography is watching the children as they get older. A little bittersweet as it seems to go by so fast but, I love capturing the moments at each age!

The birthday party was a big event with many friends and family members there to share in the occasion. It's clear how many people love this family by how many turned out to celebrate! Mom Erin and Dad Steve took advantage of the smash cake special I had running last month and Moonlight Custom Cakes made an amazing customized smash cake just for Kennedy!

Erin, Steve and Kennedy thank you so much for letting me be apart of Kennedy's first birthday...I absolutely love seeing your family and watching Kennedy as she grows from a beautiful baby girl into the beautiful little girl she is becoming!

I had the pleasure of meeting the Harris family this weekend! This was the first session with the family so I was excited to get to know them! They showed up with beautiful 4 year old Larissa and her adorable younger brother Graham. I could immediately tell how close this family was. Even Larissa and Grahm were like two peas in a pod and kept me smiling the entire time. It's rare you see brother and sister hold hands unless they're forced to to cross the street or to pose for a picture but, these two would just lock hands and walk together. It was the cutes thing and I just found myself curious as to what they would do next! Especially Graham...you can tell by the pictures he's the ornery one...he's the kind that just makes you want to laugh! That infectious little smile pretty much says it all : ) His sister Larissa on the other hand is quiet and more reserved...an absolute beautiful little girl and I often found myself curious as to what she was thinking...she had the best expressions! Not always smiling but most of my favorites aren't smiling but that look of just inner peace and happiness.

Thank you guys for spending your Sunday morning with me I really enjoyed getting to know your family!

This little Italian Princess was my most recent newborn session! Baby Gianna is 11 days old in these shots and already a little model! She of course didn't want to sleep at first but, with some help from Mom and Dad we were able to get her warm and sleepy! Big brother Dawson went on a walk with Dad while Mom and I got to work! Gina you were so good with the heater and staying out of the shot I may have to have you come along with me on all my newborn sessions...lol. I had so much fun with the family and really enjoyed Dawson and Gianna...they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL children! So happy they have found a home here in Dublin and I really look forward to seeing the kids as they get older!! Thank you for letting me spend a few hours with your family during the hectic time of having a new baby in the house!
