You may remember her since I just posted about her a few minutes ago lovin’ the swing set. 

Maya is sweet, sensitive, and full of smiles.  Most importantly, today she turns 1!!!

Now, onto the cake smashing.  Thank you once again to Penny Zulke for making another fabulous cake!

The session started with a Naked baby, and ended with a naked baby.

They are back, and little Maya is 1 year old!  To celebrate we did a family session and ended with a hilarious cake smashing session!

I wanted to blog these photos separately because they really show off how Mom and Dad adore spending time with their little girl.   More to come from their session!

I think we did much better this time around and I was very thankful for the beautiful overcast day we had! 

I hope this set adds to your previous photos from last year!

These last two photos speak of True Life to me. 

The front yard is where the fun happens when they all get together. 

There is no better joy in life than the Love within a Family!
