First you take some adorable photos with your penguins, then you have some spaghetti and then you have a dance party! Happy Happy Birthday to these two cuties!!

What I love about these birthday sessions is that it isn't about the perfect portrait, it's about capturing kids as they are, with what they love. Those are the memories we want captured as parents. Plus for little ones who may not have the attention span to sit for photos, let them dance and twirl and have some fun! AJ loves her princess dresses, so why not dress up and have some fun in front of the camera??

She started off not being too sure about what was happening, but once that cake came out she got right into it and smashed it! Both the cake and the pictures! Big shout out to mom and dad too for working so hard behind the scenes to help create the smiles. Lots of singing and dancing. I am sure everyone deserved a nap aftewards!

Sometimes we are a little unsure about the cake but that doesn't make the photos any less adorable! Dad was working hard behind the scenes to get a couple smiles and we opted for a family photo which turned into big bro enjoying some sugar and feeling the effects! Love this family so much and it has been such an honour to photograph their wedding, and now both of their baby's first birthdays.

Watching these girls grow is such a privilege. I love their little personalities and their parents are pretty awesome too!

Loved catching the little moments with the Raiche Family, Lincoln holding his hands behind is back, or trying to catch lady bugs, it as all special and made for a beautiful session. By looking through these images, you can't really tell that we were out in gale force winds. One day when I go out to this location the weather will cooperate!

I love these two!! They're always so fun to photograph and up for anything. This year in celebration of their anniversary, we recreated their first date, which was at Henderson, having coffee and chatting in Kyle's truck. Since Henderson can be a busy place and not super nice backgrounds in the parking lots, we opted for the top of Pavan with a nice view and a pretty sunset.

This little girl is just the sweetest. This newborn session was super easy beceause she slept the entire time. Everyone just seemed to be at ease and when that is the vibe, it just makes everything easier.

I loved capturing this moment in time for Salewa! She is such a stunning individual, inside and out. Happiest of birthdays to you!
