This month’s theme for the blog circle is LIFE. As my sweet baby girl turned 1 this month, I now, more than ever, realize how precious and fleeting is this gift of life. As I look back at her very first pictures through the most recent, I honestly don’t know where the time went. Her tiny little lips, her sweet little sounds, tiny little onesies that now wouldn’t even fit one of her chunky little thighs. I started photographing children before I had my own, which is backwards of most children photographers, and I now have such a greater appreciation for what these images create for us, what they can bring back. No single other tangible thing can give me the feeling that these images can and I wouldn’t trade them for the world! I encourage every mom out there to take as many pictures as you can with whatever camera you have be it a top of the line dslr or a 3 year old phone. No one ever said “I wish I hadn’t taken so many photographs of my children.”

She’s adorable! I almost blogged about my littlest guy too..he turns one in June. They just grow way too fast. 
Happy Birthday gorgeous girl! She’ll be a teenager in the blink of an eye!
I just want to squeeze that dolly of yours. She is so stinking cute. Can’t we just freeze these little ones at this innocent age?!?
Such a beautiful baby, and such a great message. Our babies grow too fast!!
Erin, She’s so cute, I can hardly stand it! Seeing that hospital hat and blanket brings back so many memories. And you’re absolutely right, I’ve never regretted taking a million pictures of my children, not even once!
Total awesomeness 
I just love watching kiddo’s grow, one of the special parts of being a photographer. Unfortunately, I’ve been slacking on my own… MUST DO BETTER! Thanks for the inspiration!
Erin she is just beautiful! Happy first birthday sweet girl!
How cute is she! I love her sitting on the table!
