Last weekend, I met up with one of my favorite families (well favorite families to photograph) to celebrate Caroline’s 1st Birthday. You may remember Caroline from a session I did last fall (click HERE) – it was during that session that Miss Caroline started crawling. To be completely honest, Caroline wasn’t feeling her absolute best last Saturday…but you would never know by these pictures. My mom made her this adorable party hat. She was not a fan. So, while she looks as if she’s laughing…she’s actually trying to pull it off. Can we talk about these...

I continue to be inspired by each of you and I look forward to another year of photography…and another year of learning in community together. With that said, we’ll go back to your previously scheduled ramblings. On Tuesday, I shared with you the Christmas present that we gave Carter – the Chicken Dance Elmo.
