Guess who’s the cover girl for the September issue of WNC Parent? She also happens to be the birthday girl, as she’ll be turning ONE this weekend!

Oh, it’s such a good thing to sleep…

…unencumbered by worries or cares, and able to stretch your feet out as you please. (It’s an amazing thing how much room there is outside the womb!)

Miss Ava was all of 15 days old when I hung out with her and her parents for a little while on Sunday afternoon…

…and as perfect as you please the whole time. I’m certain she’s grown already in both sweetness and stature!

I was so excited to see baby Victoria again! I hadn’t seen her since January, though I think I just might have recognized those blue eyes anywhere! And the curls – oh my!

Seriously. Adorable.

After a few formal portraits (which weren’t really that formal at all, considering we were hanging out on the deck!) we decided to relax and crawl around…and eat flowers…and chase cats. I have to say, Victoria’s world is quite enjoyable!

Hanging out with dad…

…and graciously accepting a few smooches from mom & dad. Thank you, Victoria, for being the best, best, best baby ever!

Miss Lark is 10 months old!

She stopped by to eat…

…and show off her new skills…
Watch out, world, she’s walking now!

I’m not sure she likes me very much…

…which could be because I want her to do things like sit in the grass. Clearly, she objects.

But she does love Cole. Here he’s pointing in the direction he wants her to crawl, which she thinks is a great game.

And she also loves her mama.

I can’t believe she’ll be one year old already in September!

Evie and her family moved down south, but before they left we were able to squeeze in one last family session.

Love it!

It’s amazing to me just how much she’s already changed from last month!

She’s such a sweet, happy, calm baby, and of course I love her little curls!

Thank you, Mike & Karie, for allowing me to document the first 6 months of Evie’s life! It has been such a treat to photograph your family of three.

Knock, knock. Who’s there? Olive. Olive who? Olive you! Meet Olive. She is one week old today! Welcome to this world, sweet girl!

And this is Olive’s big brother, Evansen. He is quite the charmer, and hilarious, too — in fact, he locked me out of his house. I’m pretty sure he’s going to be a perfect, protective big brother.

Congratulations on your new baby girl, Gabby & Mike!
Thanks for letting us stop by!

Seriously smoochable (and smooshable!)

Evie & her mama were kind enough to introduce me to this beautiful little public garden!

Though Evie wasn’t so keen on the grass. I think she’s thinking, “Are you kidding me with this??”

Ahh, a soft blanket…that’s better!

Look at her beautiful dark blue eyes! And that little curl! Sigh….

Don’t mind me — I’m just hanging out in the doorway in the beautiful light, lookin’ cute. It’s a rough life, but somebody has to do it.
