boulder photographer – baby’s first year

This is the second year that I’ve had the honor of documenting this family through a baby’s first year collection of photo sessions.  Our fist photo session together a few years ago was a 5am sunrise maternity session on my farm.  It was the most beautiful photo session; one I still look back on and love.  Our next session was their first born’s newborn photo shoot, followed by her smiling, sitting up, standing and lastly her one year walking session.  Each session was planned with props and bonnets and beautiful clothes.  I love how each photo session throughout the year captures so much change.  From all the growth month to month, to the changing seasons.  At the end of the year I create a beautiful photo album with the best images from all six photo sessions.  It’s amazing to flip from page to page and see a whole year evolve before your eyes.  I was so excited when they announced their second pregnancy.  Their second little girl has been just as amazing as her big sister to photograph throughout her first year, and it’s been so fun watching the sister friendship grow and grow.  At the first few sessions, big sis didn’t want to have anything to do with holding her little sister or being in photos together, but by the end of the year they have a full grown friendship.  Our last session was a snowy tea party with balloons and flowers and the girls laughed and smiled and played together the entire time.  We waited for the perfect snow storm, and their mom dressed them in pastel colors with lots of texture and fur.  I love doing a grand finale photo session at the end of a baby’s first year photography collection.  Here’s a sample of some of my favorites of Henley’s first year. From snow to sun to green to gold and everything in between…
