{photography} Lady I’s 1st Birthday Dol

Our family was invited to a beautiful dol (Korean 1st birthday celebration) just before the holidays and it was so much fun! Everything was super festive and cute, down to sweet Lady I’s traditional attire.  She was even wearing the headpiece from mommy’s dol – how wonderful to be able to pass on a piece of yourself to your baby!  Happy 1st birthday Lady I!  May you grow up to be a blessed lady, happy & healthy!

Happy 1st birthday my dear daughter 🙂 I was originally going to do a cake smash session but decided to do a cute balloon shoot instead – just something different, change things up 🙂  Also didn’t want my daughter growing up thinking that she’s just following big brother’s footsteps! ha! We had a lot of fun because come on what baby doesn’t like balloons? And it’s true, as I was photographing my baby girl, images of her first year flew by from rolling, sitting, crawling, pulling up to her sweet, endearing smile and infectious laughter.  Adjusting to life as a family of four was a lot more challenging than I had imagined but we are finally starting to fall into a steady routine now! The other day, my husband had a huge smile on his face as he watched our son run through the house shouting, “baby sister, it’s time to wake up from your nap!”.  And like the rambunctious little boy he is, our son shot through our bedroom door where his baby sister was napping, climbed onto the bed and gave her a gentle pat, then a huge hug. Life can not be any sweeter with these two babies!

My latest baby was a sleeping beauty.  It took a few good feedings to get Lady S full but once she was content, there was no stopping her sleep!  Every baby has their preferences for certain positions depending on how they curled up inside momma’s womb.  Some babies rock the frog position and most babies enjoy dreaming in buckets.  But Lady S loved being sprawled on our cute baby bed! So I call Lady S my sleeping beauty – doesn’t she look just like a doll?  This was another special session because Lady S and her elder brother come into this world very close in age to my two babies and momma is a good friend.  I imagine many fun playdates in the future and am so blessed and honored to be able to capture this special moment for a dear friend.

This little gal made me work but once she finally fell asleep, Lady A was indeed a little angel.  I originally wanted to capture a few sibling shots but big bro hit naptime and wasn’t up for photos so dad and big bro had some father and son bonding time while I continued shooting Lady A.  When I finally had a chance to shake dad’s hand, I immediately saw that Lady A had her daddy’s eyes – the same color and depth.  How cool is that?  They do say that daughters are a father’s lover in a past life!

Beautiful Lady A, 5 days new!  Every baby I’ve shot this year turned out to be a girl and many with names that start with “A.”  It’s so cute!  Lady AW was a sweetheart.  She slept right away for me and was up to feed in between (completely normal of course! I mean what else are you going to do at 5 days new?). But she definitely loved curling into the soft fur lining of my antique buckets.  This was a special session because mom and I have known each other for 20+ years!  It’s so nice to be able to do this shoot for mom because these sessions often push my limits at the end and challenge me to capture better images.  And Lady A ended her session sleeping so peacefully – absolutely adorable 🙂
