And now, Hailey is One! To celebrate her first birthday, she smashed a cake (with a little help from her big sis)!

She has such a sweet and gentle personality. Isn’t she a doll?

Hailey is one lucky little girl to have such an amazing Mom. I love that she asked if they could have a birthday picture together.

Her big sister is her little caretaker, they are so close.

As Hailey enjoyed her cake, her big sister waited for the word that she could join in the fun, it wasn’t that long ago that she was here to smash her own 1st birthday cake! Every 30 seconds or so she would ask “My turn? Please, is it my turn?”  She was so patient and well-mannered and let out a squeal of excitement when she was asked if she wanted some cake too.

Oh my, these sweet sisters are too cute for words…

They are very dear friends to our family. I’ve had the pleasure of capturing their maternity session, and baby Shy’s newborn session.  Yesterday on Shy’s first birthday, after a quick series of family photos, they celebrated one amazing year of oh-so-loved Shy with a cake smashing session. How did a year go by so fast?!

At just 10 days old, he was already full of personality and now that he has turned one (just yesterday), his personality has grown right along with him.
