Spotlight: One year old

The first birthday is a great time to have portraits made. It is a classic milestone (I know I had portraits done at that age) but it is classic for a reason. By the time babies are a year old they have started that transition from their baby-selves into their kid-selves.

I have great fun watching a one year old watch the world. They are peeking and creeping and eagle-eyed. It sometimes means they are too busy to watch the lens, but I have tricks. Tricks and songs and rhymes.

This little ones favorite of the day goes like this:

slowly . . . slowly . . . very . . . slowly goes the garden snail
slowly . . . slowly . . . very . . . slowly up the garden rail
quicklyquicklyveryquickly goes the little mouse
quicklyquicklyveryquickly to his little house!

If you decide to schedule a session with your one year old be prepared to be in the pictures. For all the excitement out there to discover, a one year old still thinks her parents are the most exciting thing of all!
