Cranberry Family Portraits: First Birthdays and Celebrating Milestones

May 18, 2018/by kmiller

A first birthday is a great time to schedule a portrait session. Our babies learn and grow so much over the first year, so there is so much to celebrate! And while you’re at it, it’s a great opportunity to update your family portrait, which is exactly what this sweet family did. I’ll start of with this photo of the big and little sister – how precious to have a photograph of these two to look back on?

Bubbles are a favorite activity for little ones during sessions and this big sister was pleased to help with the bubble-making!

Little ones learning to walk is pretty high up there in my list of favorite things to photograph. So proud!

And Cranberry Woods has these amazing paths through the woods that make for great and safe walking shots. No roots to trip on!

We stepped a little farther into the woods for this family portrait.

This mama wanted to document her daughter’s first taste of cake and even made the cake herself! Very impressive!

While this little sweetie was timid, she definitely enjoyed her cake!

Cranberry Family Portraits: Celebrating a First Birthday

August 31, 2017/by kmiller

First birthdays are one of my favorite milestones to photograph. At one year old, little ones are so full of surprises and parents are brimming with excitement to celebrate their baby’s first birthday. It’s such a sweet occasion and it’s hard not to smile when I’m editing the images.

I love the curiosity that this sweet girl has for this book and how mom and dad are so enjoying sharing it with her.

Getting this cutie pie to smile was effortless with her mommy and daddy at her side.

So loved!

kisses!

We started this session at 7:30 a.m., what a great start to the day!

I love moments like these that aren’t real contenders for being framed and hung on the wall, but they show the sweet interaction that happened even when this family wasn’t looking at the camera.

And to conclude this post of non-stop sweetness, here’s a piggyback chase!

Happy birthday, sweet one!

McKenzie Turns One! Lifestyle Session at South Park

October 8, 2013/by kmiller

There were several times during the editing process for this recent lifestyle session where I thought my heart would burst out of my chest. I am not kidding. I’m talking about joy that made it hard to keep my butt in my desk chair. I should also mention that I had a McLatte on my way home from dropping my son off at our sitter’s house so I could get some work done. But this family just oozes cuteness…and they are celebrating little McKenzie’s first birthday with a lifestyle session at South Park.

And I know that the way I’m writing this might sound a little braggadocios, but let me stop you right there. I can’t take credit for this gorgeous family or the lovely surrounds, and I won’t take credit for the skills God has given me to capture these sweet moments. I just feel blessed getting to be a part of all of this loveliness and want to say, thank you, Jesus!

Ok, thanks for sticking with me. I just felt like I really had to say that. Here are some more photos…

Kynleigh Turns One!

March 20, 2013/by kmiller

We took Little B to attend his first birthday party a few weeks ago. His cousin, Kynleigh, turned one and I’m not sure who had more fun between the parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents and our little sweethearts. It was a wonderful reason for a family reunion my sister did an amazing job planning this party with a cute polka dot theme. Anyway, I had fun photographing it too and figured I should share because it is too cute not to share. Here’s a taste of all the sweet details:

Here’s a sweet moment between the cousins. Acutally, I have a series of shots of the two of them and it really looks like they’re having a conversation. They held hands, she took his hat off and even tried to put it back on. There was a chorus of oohs and aahs behind me as I snapped these precious memories.
