{Blake} - 1 year

I can't believe it's been a year since I photographed Baby Blake when he was just born! At six months I adored Blake's big blue eyes, and this time was no different. Unlike last time when he was just barely crawling, this time he was on the go, walking around and exploring. But my favorite was when he'd say "Oh woooow!" For his first birthday, his mama threw him a Fall pumpkin party, fitting for her October baby.

{Sophie} - 2 years

I first photographed Sophie when she was just seven months old. Look how much she's changed in her chair!

For her first birthday, Sophie had a colorful owl birthday party {check it out! one of my top three posts!}. But this year for her second birthday, Sophie is all about Elmo...and "Sophie's World".

Sophie, I had a great time singing songs with you! Until next year baby girl!

{Benson} - 3 Months

My nephew Benson is one big boy! I swear he's as big as a six month baby, but he's just three months old! And with Korean tradition, his head was shaved shortly after his 100 day celebration.

Nom nom nom. Double fisting already!

{Ashlee} - 29 weeks

As another task to check off the preparing-for-baby checklist, Chris & Ashlee spent their day in a crash course at the hospital, where you're supposed to learn everything you need to know for child birth in a matter of six hours. {Like anyone can fully prepare you, ha!} But to end the day on a sweeter note, we spent the evening photographing Ashlee's beautiful baby belly at 29 weeks. Being a yoga instructor, I knew Ashlee would look amazing for her maternity session...

Chris, can you believe how far we've come from our college days? We're adults! Married! Raising kids! I can't wait to photograph your baby girl get as she gets so big in the next year!

Giveaway #3 of 5! uh oh pasghettio

**We are on day three of my blogiversary giveaways! Don’t forget to enter here to win $25 to use on Premier Designs Jewelry and here to win $60 worth of Relished Foods.**

Just like the first two giveaways, this third one supports local entrepreneurs. Up for grabs today is an 8x10 print of your choice from the designs available at Uh Oh Pasghettio.

Uh Oh Pasghettio seeks to capture an authentic picture of life with kids: it’s vibrant and humorous and sometimes it’s sticky…but at its core, it’s beautifully simple and wildly entertaining. Uh Oh Pasghettio is led by two women who have worked together in marketing, design, and business development for years. After helping a number of other entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses, we decided it was time to truly work for ourselves. So, we created a company where we both get to follow our passions and excitement every day - Amanda as Chief Creative Officer and Kim as President and Marketing Director. Many of our prints begin as hand-drawn creations, including pen drawings and watercolor paintings. You can personalize our prints by name, and match them to your décor with the option of customized colors. All wall prints are printed on a beautiful thick paper that looks gorgeous in a frame, and it won’t fade with sun or time.

I love uh oh pasghettio’s fresh and modern look with a touch of whimsy. Wouldn't you want one of these custom alphabet art prints for a little one's nursery?

Or perhaps artwork for a kids playroom or gallery wall?

I also love these party invitations for adults, a little man or little ballerina...
