“Little girls with dreams become women with vision”  -author unknown

I am constantly reminded of how lucky I am to have a profession that allows me an intimate look into people’s lives month after month and year after year.  This little one marked many benchmarks for me but by far my favorite one is the fact she was the first little girl I was able to fawn over from newborn status to her graduation into Toddlerhood.  Amazing how much difference a year makes!  Just look at how tiny she was in that bed when she was welcomed by her parents into this world and believe it or not, that is the same bed just a year later.  I’ve always known how special every little one’s journey is during their first year but now that I’ve made the leap into Motherhood myself, I can’t say how much more touching every session I capture is.  Children are living miracles- every single day they are truly MIRACLES!  One moment you think you are striking a rhythm and you have your little peanut all figured out, then they switch up the game and leave you scratching your head.

Harper is such a delightful little girl.  She was so sweet the day of her big shoot and (not surprisingly) only had eyes for my assistant that day (who just happened to be my fantastic husband).  Kids just eat him up!  She is so very laid back and just loves to drink in everything that comes her way.  I can’t wait to see how she grows over the years.  No doubt that one day she will become one of those women of vision my chosen quoted author was thinking of.
