Happy Birthday to my sweet baby girl…I can’t believe she is already two! She is energetic, confident and independent but also so incredibly sweet and loving. My heart melts whenever she spontaneously runs and throws her arms around me and says “I lub you.” She absolutely adores her big brother and enjoys playing, dancing and running hand in hand with him. Hearing them laughing together is the sweetest sound ever. She loves her daddy too and it has been so sweet to see their bond grow stronger this past year. Her constant smiles and laughter are contagious and she brings so much joy to our family. Happy Birthday baby girl! You are so loved!

Since this session was for her birthday, I wanted to make it a little extra special. I made a small floral crown with some new spring blooms from our garden and I love how it complemented her delicate features. Before she was even born, I fell in love with the soft blush color and delicate detailing of this silk chiffon dress and knew I had to save it for her. I’m so happy it fit perfectly and it was adorable how special she felt. She was so happy and kept saying “pretty princess” while touching her crown and twirling in her dress. Beyond the styling and beautiful lighting, I adore these images most of all as they capture her true personality. I made a point to get in a couple frames with her too as we have such a special bond and I wanted to make sure to capture that. She inspires me to be a better person and I am so blessed to be her mama.
