I'm Michelle
Because you shouldn’t have to choose just one moment to remember, this is your way to hold on to the whole story.
Because some moments are meant to be seen as they unfold, movement, emotion, and the beauty of this season, just as it was.
The last session of a Baby Plan is always a little bittersweet. I love watching these sweet little loves grow from a tiny newborn to a toddler filled with so much personality. I am always a little sad though because their next session is no longer on my calendar, just a few months away.
Carter recently had his first birthday which we celebrated with a one year session! Carter is so handsome with his super blonde hair and sweet little, gummy smile. I do not think that there has ever been a baby in suspenders cuter than Carter. Seriously, so adorable! Carter loves his mama and I have a feeling will be a lifelong mama’s boy. Mama and daddy are just as smitten about their baby boy!
At the end of the session, Carter indulged in a little sweet treat for his first birthday; a homemade cake made by his mama. He loved his cake! When he gave his parents the “Come on mom and dad, stop embarrassing me” look I melted! I mean, come on. how cute! I am so glad I captured it because I am sure it will be a family favorite for years to come. AND I’m sure not the last time they get that look from Carter!
Happy first birthday, handsome little guy!
