I’m so in love with every aspect of this session. First off, Miss Cambria is too sweet for words. Her mama did SUCH a good job of picking out her outfits for her session and we had a LOT of fun. :) I narrowed it down as much as possible.. ;) but it’s still a huge post. Here are a FEW favorites.

Kristen Soileau: This is four shoots all in one! You truly out did yourself. Beautiful (16.05.12, 02:24PM)

Clancy is turning 1 year old!! Hard to believe that it was just a year ago that I was photographing him as a newborn. His sweet mom and dad brought him to see me a couple of weeks ago. He’s gotten so big. He was such a ham at his session.. grinning and being silly.. and wanting to get into everything.. especially the dirt!! He is all boy. :) A few favorites from his 1 year session.. (smash cake by GirlsandCake!)

Elise Ellexson: SOO cute!!! Amazing job as always, Tara! :)) (15.05.12, 12:58PM)

It’s safe to say that this was one of my favorite sessions.. of all time. I love the love in this session.. and between this beautiful mama and her precious little girl. Miss Avery made me laugh so much. She is such a smart, independent little thing and we made fast friends. Lauren told me that Avery is definitely a Daddy’s girl.. but she has mama’s taste and still loves to be girly. This was a session for just these 2 girls. A session to document this exact time in their lives and how big of a personality this little girl already has. When Lauren contacted me last year and we started planning the session, I could not wait.. I knew it would be SO much fun.. and it did not disappoint. A few favorites from this session..
