Life never stops. I currently feel like I’m going through a new phase of life myself. I was thinking back over the past few years and how things have changed so much. I have changed so much. It’s amazing to think about, exciting to celebrate, and important to document.
I am thrilled that Megan and Brad decided to document the 4 major phases of their daughter’s first year of life – 3 mos, 6 mos, 9 mos, and 12 mos. Each time we see Charlotte to photograph her life, I can see so many changes that have occurred. Here are the images from Charlotte’s 3 month session. Below you will see her at 6 months; take note of the new things you’ll see. She has two teeth, likes to suck on her toes, and likes to put anything in her mouth for that matter. She’s more alert, has many new facial expressions, and loves to laugh. There are so many ways she has grown and it feels great to be a part of documenting her life.
Megan and Brad – It is amazing to watch your daughter grow and change. As I look at her face, her smiles, her expressions – I’m constantly looking to see if I see Megan or Brad. She is a beautiful blend of the two of you and I just want to thank you again for giving us the opportunity to photograph her.

Starting things off with one of my top favorites from the session.

Doesn’t she look like she’s throwing her hand up in frustration with one of the characters from her book?

I wish I could post every single picture from this series on the chair. She had so many expressions that just melted my heart. But below are the best of the best!


Is she a diva or what!?!



Charlotte: “Can you look at the camera and smile please — I’m trying to take a picture here!” Vitaliy and Candace: “Yes, ma’am.”

Father/Daughter moments are always so sweet to me.


Don’t judge her, the bar tasted very good to her.

So did her toes! I’m working on being able to do this move in my yoga class. You go Charlotte!

Yup, these are the favorites for me — the warm light, the soft baby skin, those gorgeous eyes — that’ll do it!



Watch out Brad! I’m sure all you moms are familiar with the drooling phase.
