I don't think I'll ever tire of capturing milestone moments for families. We always shower the babies and kids with so much love, but the parents deserve a pat on the back too. So much time, love, hope, tears... and the list continues... goes  into passing each milestone- they really are moments to be celebrated. 

The first win of the morning was the sweet sunshine... after raining all evening, I woke up to blue skies and golden sun. Yay!! We actually live in the same neighborhood, so we decided on a park near our homes and it couldn't have worked out better. The T Family was able to bring their dog, Bailey, which I loved. Although she was a little bit of a priss (who likes laying in wet grass anyway) and not thrilled to "sit and stare", she really completed the family picture. 

The birthday girl- lit up whenever her momma and daddy were talking and the moments when she was taking it all in, and quietly looking at the camera are some of my favorites. She was a doll. When it came to cake smash time, she's a gal after my own heart.. diving right in! 

I hope y'all can feel the joy and love this family shared in front of my camera.

...and a big thanks to Jack Johnson for always having the perfect music.  Music: jack Johnson "Better together"
