I love 1st birthdays!  There’s something about a baby turning one that just gets me.  This little angel was so adorable trying to figure out this giant cake in front of her.  At first she wouldn’t even touch it, but by the end we couldn’t get her to stop.  I love her cute little poses!  She’s such a natural!  Happy birthday, Scarlett!

This is my long time friend, Jessica’s first baby at about a week old.  I’m always so grateful that people let me into their homes to take photos of and meet their newborn babies so soon after they are born.  I absolutely love and adore newborn sessions.  I don’t care how long it takes or what we have to do to get the babies to sleep, I will wait all day if I have to.  Baby Melvin knew I was there and did not want to miss a moment of my visit so we had to try extra hard to get him to sleep.  Once he did though, we captured all of these amazing photos.

Awww!  I love these people so much!  The first time I ever talked to Tiffany on the phone it felt like we had known each other forever.  Her husband and three kids and the rest of her family behind the camera were so sweet to us!  They invited us out to their property in Newcastle and made us feel at home.  The wine barrel is from a family run vineyard and so cute to use for these photos of their new baby.  A big thank you again to all of them for making this such a great shoot!

Ok, I seriously don’t think I’ve ever met a family funnier than this one.  I could barely take a photo I was laughing so hard.  I had so much fun doing this shoot and hanging out with these wonderful people!  They completely brightened my day and now every time I look at these photos I just smile.  Thank you again Alpha family!

As promised, here are the photos of Renee and Stan’s little angel, Daphne.  She has the cutest little pixie face I have ever seen.  What a sweet baby!  So, instead of worrying about getting your taxes in on time, just stare at her beautiful little face instead.  Love!
