Meet Dahlia!

I knew this was going to be a special session when I got the first phone call. Can’t wait for you to meet her, her grandma said. She’s bubbly and full of life; the happiest little girl you’ll ever meet. One of my emails from mom said… “Do you have ‘joy’ as a camera setting? You can use that.” So cute!

Social, smiling, and always exploring, Dahlia is everything I anticipated and more. She had recently celebrated her first birthday, surrounded by family and friends…and can you imagine what a delightful celebration it was?

And oh. my. goodness. those. blue. eyes. will. knock. you. over!

We explored a local park, as Dahlia played and enjoyed the sunshine with her beautiful momma ::

And a little time on the playground… and oh! Those! CURLS!

So, so sweet ::

After our outing to the park we went back to their house, with its lovely front yard and breathtaking sunlight…and we had to bust out a tutu.

Too, too cute! (ha!)

It was an honor (and SO much fun) to mark Dahlia’s first birthday! Much love, J&D!
