Emma, one year

Meet Emma, another sweet girl celebrating her first birthday. She's a big fan of blocks:

and books:


here she sports a beautiful silver bracelet bearing her name:


Strike a pose and smile for the camera!:


Emma enjoyed holding out her toys and showing us what she was playing with:


Here she shows a more serious face:


While Emma went to change into her next outfit, Rochelle snapped this photo of our set up. For those of you that aren't too familiar with our in house photo shoots, this is generally what we do--set up a studio in your living room or another comfortable room. This is especially helpful for little ones, as it eases those tensions that arise when away from home, and it also ensures that plenty of toys, snacks, and clothes are nearby:


Then Emma was back and ready to smile, set with pumpkins and a beautiful blue dress:


Next we took a few shots with mom and dad:


and then brought in yet another family member! We did get some more traditional posed shots with the dog, but I loved the emotion in this photo:


If was a lot of fun working with both a dog and a baby, but definitely more tricky to pose! Here is one shot we managed to get of both still, if only for a moment:


Afterwards, we brought out some bubbles, which Emma was very interested in:





We had a great time working with Emma, and wish her a very happy first birthday!
