We started this session off with 1st birthday photos! I was so excited to get to use my birthday board from Love Designs for this session. Ben looks so CUTE!
After the portraits of the star of the show, we moved on to do some family photos.
This photo I saw in a dream the night before. I wasn’t very clear in my direction and I was kind of hanging off the hill but they nailed it. I wanted to capture the look of absolute love with dad looking at mom and mom looking at babe.
From here, we walked a little higher up the hill to get to a spot I saw on my last walk through Peterson Creek.
This was one of my favourite captures - Jessita’s wedding ring in focus and a sweet unprompted moment.
Lace dress from Thrift Monster and in my client closet!
I think the first birthday is also SUCH a big deal for mom and dad! They should celebrate too. They made it. That first year is tough (not that the years after are easier, but it’s a big deal!)
So glad we stopped for these ones just before the long awaited cake smash!
Washing up in the creek!
And lastly - the light was so perfect I asked if I could take a few more of the happy couple as we came to the clearing just steps from the parking lot.
