And just like that, I blinked and my sweet Savvy girl is one year old. It happened so fast. I’m having allllll the emotions over here. And I’m also in super party prep mode so all the emotional stuff will have to wait. I’ll be blogging her party sometime next week, and I’m hoping it turns out like I’m picturing in my head. until then, here’s my sweet beautiful girl. JBP_9767JBP_0034JBP_9791JBP_9817JBP_0037JBP_9823JBP_0004JBP_0022JBP_0119JBP_0135this was pretty much how her entire cake smash session went.. the first time. lol She was just NOT happy.JBP_0127A month by month progression.

Another sweet baby!!! AHH! Meet Maximus. One of the sweetest little guys I ever did meet. I literally gasped and did a little dance when I got the text asking if I would do his newborn photography session. Russ and Andrea have been waiting and waiting for this little guy, and I’d say he was definitely worth the wait. He was so cuddly and perfect, I just wanted to take him home. columbus-oh-newborn-photography-001He woke up in the middle of his session and wanted to party a little, so we stuck on his little Wild Thing booties and let him. I mean, that little face! Melt!columbus-oh-newborn-photography-020columbus-oh-newborn-photography-005Russ was absolutely adorable with him. And Max looks even tinier when Russ his holding him, since, you know, Russ is the tallest guy I know. columbus-oh-newborn-photography-052oh max, your cheeks just make me wanna nibble you up!columbus-oh-newborn-photography-008Andrea, you are so beautiful! columbus-oh-newborn-photography-034columbus-oh-newborn-photography-015columbus-oh-newborn-photography-057columbus-oh-newborn-photography-045columbus-oh-newborn-photography-018columbus-oh-newborn-photography-058you guys, from the bottom of my heart, thank you thank you thank you for trusting me with these special images.
