I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Addison ever since she was a baby. Every year we meet for her birthday shoot, which is a story of who she is at each stage of her life.
What I love most about her parents, is that they encourage Addy to lead the session; bringing along various items that she loves. I just follow her around as she plays so that each session is a true reflection of who she is at each birthday. Isn’t that awesome?!

Last year we went puddle jumping, and this year she’s into crafts, dance, and as always exploring.
Here is the story of Miss Addison, age 5…






This is her brother Sawyer, he came along to help out…





Now here is the moment when Sawyer got a little overwhelmed with it all.
And the award for the saddest face in the entire world goes to…

Addy wasn’t about to let a little crying interrupt her creative process…



Addy’s finished masterpiece…

Meanwhile in Sawyer-land…

Sawyer’s Mom asked if he wanted to blow some glitter into the air with his sister. The time between these two photos is about 30 seconds. Kids, they can turn off those tears like a faucet!





And then Addy “snuck up” on some Geese.

The end!
