you may remember cute little andrew from his newborn, six month and 10 month sessions.  now he’s turned one and it was so great to see him again in his new home!  we had fun in his room, eating cake and even taking a bath!  as usual, he was full of smiles.  what a year…time flies!  that’s why baby plans are so great.  i’m here to capture all of the moments that can otherwise slip by.  here are my favs!

do they make them cuter than this?  i don’t think so!

happy birthday big boy!

hard to believe little gabe is now a year old! it’s amazing how much babies change in their first year. back at his newborn session, he was just a little ball of love. now he’s bursting with personality but still cute as ever!  we met at the park right before the rain and cold hit cincy. here are some of my favorites that really capture who gabe and his loving parents truly are…

i love how this image just captures the true happiness and joy they get from being a family together.  that’s what it’s all about.

doesn’t take much to make a little guy happy.  just a rid on a duck with dad!

love, sweet love.

i was so excited to meet vanessa and her brood which just got bigger with the addition of  little beatrix.  what a cutie!   vanessa is the sister of alanah, a senior i shot last year.  this family definitely picked the right day for family photos!  looking back now, i feel this was the a great time for fall leaves.  it was  before all the rain we just had, when everything still had color.  and of course it was another great family with another great set of clothing choices!  lots of neutrals mixed in with dad’s blue sweater, kyle’s plaid & catherine’s pop of purple!

love the baby’s outfit…so vintage!

we took these “mom and dad” shots because they’re always nice to have but also because the day they got married was SUPER windy and not much turned out. now their love is captured without a veil hitting someone in the face! lol!

look at these little beauties!  they look so much alike, mom and dad put different bracelets on their arms to tell them apart.  great idea!  they may look alike, but their personalities were very different.  i can’t wait to watch them grow so i can capture who they are!  take a peek at their newborn cuteness below:

i know i always say i can’t believe how fast babies grow and watching them is such a pleasure.  well, that is especially true for these two.  we met to celebrate their one year birthday with adorable “1″ t’s and a cake smash. you may remember  them from their newborn post. they were actually born months early and had a long road ahead of them.  well, that road is coming to an end as they are hitting all of their milestones!  it has been a true honor and pleasure to work with the whole family!  i can’t wait to see peyton and logan walking and talking soon!

logan didn’t know what to make of the cake while sis, peyton, went to town and got a major sugar high!

so much to celebrate!
