Anna | 1 year old | Danville, Virginia Family Photographer

So this catching up on blogging thing while on maternity leave hasn't been as easy to do as I thought it would be. Babies keep you busy! And now I have 2! Anyways, Baby Anna turned 1 this summer and we were able to have a fun session with her and her family downtown:)

Here are a few of her family's favorites:

And of course no 1 yr session is complete without a smash cake!!

The Custers | Family Session | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

The Custers are some good friends of ours who live out of town...so since they were in for the weekend, they booked a session with us for their little family, and for Layla's turning ONE! We were so excited about this session! Layla is just too cute...and her Mommy and Daddy are so much fun to be around! I seriously think this is one of the cutest families ever!! It was too hard to pick only a few faves, so here are quite a few;) I'm not quite finished with the whole session yet, but these will hold them over!

Sun-shots are some of my favorites:)

Layla knows "nose!"

Daddy love:)

Mommy love:)

I don't know about you, but I think Layla looks a lot like Mommy here:)

There are too many of Layla on the quilt that I love!

Sigh.

Such a sweet, fun family!

Maddie is 1! | Children's Photography | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

We have been photographing Madeline since she was born...and I can't believe that it's been a whole year! She is such a cutie...her birthday party theme was Pink John Deere, so of course her Mommy had her decked out in her John Deere attire for her photos! Here are a few favorites:)

A year ago, she was IN that watering can!

Love this series!! She was too funny!

Isn't she cute?!

Allie is 3 months! | Gretna, Virginia Photographer

I can't believe Allie is 3 months old already! We photographed her as a precious newborn:

And now as a sweet, 3 month old!

I just love this laughter image...

I had the idea to use this crate, since it's so tall...(no worries, hands were on baby at all times!) I love how it turned out!

Fist! Fist!

She is just too precious...

Mommy love:)

Kim definitely has a precious baby girl! Thanks for returning to MBP for her photos!
