Last week, I shared Bellamy’s “smash cake” photos. This week, I wanted to share her lifestyle session celebrating her first birthday. Her mother and I have been going back and forth for a few months discussing the best way to capture Bellamy turning one…during the cold month of January. I searched Pinterest and suggested we stay at home and recreate some of the scenes we started with when I shot Bellamy as a newborn. Between balloons and bouncing on the bed, we had more fun than I think we’ve had with any of our other sessions. In fact, I’ve decided that all of my clients should do a “bouncing on the bed” session as part of their “watch me grow package.” Okay…just a suggestion, but they are fun! Notice how much Miss Bellamy has grown between the shot on the left and the one on the right. I’m actually kind of sad that Bellamy’s first year is over. The first year of any baby’s life is a joy to photograph, but Bellamy has really been a ray of sunshine. Luckily, Bellamy’s mom reminded me that “we’re not done growing yet.” Yay! But enough of my commentary. Enjoy the photos! Thanks again Kristie, Todd and Bellamy for all the giggles and wiggles. Your family is always such a joy to photograph and I look forward to seeing you all again in a few months.
