We blinked, and sweet baby Olivia Grace turned ONE!
Livie should hold the title of the most easy going and even tempered one year old :)
She's just moments away from starting to walk, but not walking is no hindrance to this little busy bee!
Family sessions are always fun with this wonderful bunch! They hold a very special place in my heart!
Baby Olivia is my daughter's namesake, so I will forever be biased! Emily, this gorgeous Momma, is my former coworker. She loves her tribe fiercely, and the moment she meets you, she instantly makes you feel like you've been friends forever! Emily's older daughter, Natalia, is my former student! Natalia is the kind of student that you naively think your classrooms will be filled with before you officially become a teacher, and the kind that keeps you in the trenches when you're having a tough day and doubting your life choices. I've asked Emily and Pete for their secrets/instruction manual/friendly tips, and they refuse to take any credit for raising such an awesome human. Pfff!
And Pete is the kind of Dad and Husband that daughters brag about to their friends and teachers, and wives gush over at work and on social media. He is one-liner kind of funny, he's everyone's rock, and the girls clearly have a very special bond with him.
And, of course, what could be a more exciting way to mark the first birthday than getting your first taste of CAKE! This was not just any cake, but a gorgeous strawberry flavored, pink and gold sparkly cake, that this super talented former-baker Mommy made for her littlest love!
Happy birthday, baby girl! You're adored more than you'll ever know!
