A year ago I held this little piece of heaven in my arms…

And now she is walking, and babbling, and full of life, and we love her dearly…
even though she didn’t know she was supposed to be happy for her 1 year photo shoot.
It’s a good thing she happens to be a cute ornery baby. Not a lot of people can pull off a cute cry.

And a little behind the scenes shot.
It’s pretty red neck. We just moved the kitchen table, swept up a few crumbs (perhaps more than a few), and laid out some flooring.We used direct natural lighting coming from our french doors. Camera info: shot with Canon 50D & 24-70mm lens. ISO 200, SS 1/125, AV 2.8

A special thanks to my friend who made the adorable banner and cake… and who also ended up getting more frosting on herself than Eden did. It’s all about sacrificing to get the perfect picture

This last week was a crazy one, that’s for sure. My baby was in the hospital for a nasty kidney infection. I’ve kind of put life on hold right now which includes cooking, cleaning, dressing, showering… (and really anything that requires effort) in order to focus on my babe and get her feeling better. Unfortunately, that includes editing. I will get to everything soon enough (including showering, my husbands probably the most excited about this one). In the meantime, thank you so much for your patience.
