Happy Birthday, Mia!

If you've been reading my blog for awhile now, you know Mia. In fact, you know her Mom & Dad, Stephanie & Mike, from their wedding photos (my very first wedding clients ever!), subsequent maternity photos, her sister, Lily, who sported big headbands, flowers and inexplicable cuteness for her many portrait sessions. And now there's Mia.







It's a special thing to follow a family. It feels something like writing a history book. And celebrating Mia's first birthday, which also of course meant impromptu portraits of Lily, was yet another happy chapter of their lives jotted down.



Stephanie & Mike truly understand the importance of photographs. They adore their tiny, perfect family, and they work hard to make sure photography stays a priority for them. And now, Stephanie will very soon be taking my October Shutterbugs class, so she's even taking on learning some basics herself, so that she can keep on capturing the memories even when I'm not there.





Happy Birthday, Mia!
