I’ve been meeting with Miss E every few months this past year for her Baby Steps sessions, and I can’t believe how quickly this little munchkin grew!  I LOVE doing Baby Steps sessions–meaning short, 30 minute sessions about every 3-4 months during a child’s first year of life. They change so dramatically in such short amounts of time that it is really important and special to document. I always find it heartwarming but bittersweet whenever a Baby Steps kiddo graduates! You can see the progression below:

For her 1 year session, Miss E’s mom brought her to my studio and had her photographed in a darling yellow dress that is a family heirloom. Miss E’s grandma first wore the dress–then Miss E’s auntie and mom–now it was this little girl’s turn to share a part in history.

After getting some great shots in her dress, it was time for her cake smash. Miss E knew exactly how to treat that cake and her expressions are priceless. I often have children who will stare at their cake, not really sure what to do or afraid of making a mess. Often the parents and I will have to gently coax the little one to have a taste–or even smear a bunch of icing on them for photos sake. But, again, Miss E was beyond thrilled with this confection. I also give her mama major props for picking out such a pretty in pink and adorable looking cake.
