“today is your big moment. moments, really. the life you’ve been waiting for is happening all around you. the scene unfolding right outside your window is worth more than the most beautiful painting, and the crackers and peanut butter that you’re having for lunch on the coffee table are as profound, in their own way, as ‘the last supper’. this is it. this is life in all it’s glory, swirling and unfolding around us, disguised as pedantic, pedestrian non-events. but pull off the mask and you will find your life, waiting to be made, chosen, crafted.”

our morning for victoria’s session was filled with sword fights, walking lessons, ninja turtles, snuggles in bed, and so many baby giggles… all of the very best things their typical weekend morning consists of :)
it’s only a matter of time before this girl takes off walking, if someone was holding her hands she was a girl on the MOVE!
Tori’s favorite game is to chase Connor down this hallway, and pretty soon she will be chasing him right up those steps too!
even the bravest of ninjas sometimes need to hide behind their mamas during a sword fight when their daddy attacks! :)
hellooooo bright eyes!
my favorite portraits from Connor’s first year were the ones we did in this very same crib during his first birthday session. she might be a few months younger, but i love that we were able to get similar portraits of Tori! they’ve got the same gorgeous blue eyes, that stand out so much in these portraits :)
my absolute favorite. the curls. the expression. the toes sticking out of the crib. such a sweet girl!
Monica wanted to make sure we got photos that highlighted Tori’s little chubby legs, since they are starting to be less chubby by the day. MISSION. ACCOMPLISHED. another favorite for sure :)
somebody has a VERY ticklish tummy :)
thanks for having me over for the morning! can’t wait to see you again in just a few months! :)
