After photographing this girl for the last year, we’re finally getting to know each other! I got a smile as soon as I walked in the door, and we had such a fun time playing… especially once we gave her a humungous cake! Check out my favorites from Kayla’s One Year Portrait Session!
More fun from Kayla’s first Year-in-the-Life! I went up to visit them right before Christmas for Kayla’s 7 Month Portraits… and a little holiday cheer! This is like my FAVORITE stage of baby-ness!! They can hold themselves up on their tummies, they can sit up, and giggle, and really connect with you — but they’re not quite able to get away yet ;) It’s the BEST time for photos!!
Amy introduced you to sweet little Kayla a few weeks ago. I visited her four times over the course of her first year of life, and I must say, it’s been very fun watching her grow up from infant, to baby, to toddler! She’s such a sweetie!
So, it’s been six months, but “baby” AJ turned ONE! Krista was invited over to document his first taste of cake (unsure at first… but someone figured it out!) and catch this family in the midst of life with an almost-toddler.
Oh baby AJ, we just can’t get enough of you! At six months old, baby AJ was preparing to celebrate his first holiday season and Krista was able to spend some time with his family. AJ’s grin just gets bigger and more dimple-licious with each passing month!
I think somebody’s on Santa’s Nice List for sure!
How perfect is AJ’s shirt?!
Sorry AJ, but when your cheeks are that kiss-able, you’re gonna get squished often with smooches!
Up next is somebody’s FIRST BIRTHDAY! And like I’ve said, the cuteness factor continues to rise…. :) I promise!
It’s amazing how different a newborn looks just a few short weeks after birth! This little cutie has grown a bunch of hair and has cheeks that just BEG for kisses. Krista visited Jennifer, YiFeng and AJ at their home just a couple of weeks after they left the hospital.
GAH! Those lips! That little baby fist!
A bit sleep deprived, but new parenthood definitely works for these two!
Already giving a thumbs up for mom and dad! :)
What in the world are you dreaming about, AJ?
I know it’s impossible to believe, but this kid just continues to get cuter and cuter. (No, seriously, Pam is in the other room *literally* editing pictures of AJ at his current age of 18 months and the cuteness factor continues to be off the chart!) Stay tuned for a peek at AJ at six months in a few days! I promise you will not be disappointed!
Last year Krista had the incredibly special opportunity to photograph the arrival of her dear friends Jennifer & YiFeng’s first born son! Alexander Justus, baby AJ, arrived healthy and perfect in every way! Krista was able to go into the delivery room just a few moments after he was born, she still talks about what an honor it was to be one of the first people to meet this special little boy. (She also may or may not have been scarred for life by the experience, but clearly, it was worth it) ;)
I say it every time, but I just LOVE me some baby piggies!! Look at those wrinkly little toes!
SUCH a proud husband and father.
The sweetest.
In a few days you’ll get to see just how much baby AJ changed in the first few weeks of his life! (And just wait until you see how stinking adorable he is now!)
Baby AJ is heading towards his first birthday!! Krista caught up with the family at their home to check in and capture all of the cute things AJ is doing these days.
AJ’s eyes are still amazing! And what a happy little guy he is!
Look who’s sitting up all on his own! Go AJ!
Already thinking like a big boy: You can never be overdressed in a sandbox; best to always be prepared in case a lovely little lass comes over for an unexpected playdate. :)
Who doesn’t love a go on the swing?
Look at Delia go! SUCH a big girl!
So sweet!
Next time we check in with this family, AJ will be ONE! Come back soon to see one of our Associate CoCo’s new couples!
Baby AJ is getting bigger! And he’s SO full of grins! Krista was able to meet the family in their home around the holidays to capture AJ at four months old. In case you have forgotten, Delia was pretty stinking cute at a similar age… :)
He’s gonna be a heartbreaker with those big blue eyes!!
Doesn’t AJ look so proud of himself in this one?
Tummy time sure is hard work, especially when the grown-ups toss a blanket over your head! :)
Delia showed off her skills on the swingset. It’s so fun to see how much she has grown since Krista first met her!
Totally tuckered out. :)
Next up–AJ at eight months! How quickly the time is flying by! Thank you, Eileen and Fabio, for allowing us to share your beautiful family. :)
Time to meet little AJ! But first, big sister must get herself camera-ready. :)
AJ had his own way of preparing for the shoot! :)
I love this quiet moment caught between mama and her new baby.
Oh my goodness, the hair on this boy!! (Much like big sister had when she was a newborn!)
I LOVE the way Delia is gazing down at her brother in this one!
Such a silly sister!
Hello there, little man. :)
While I do have a bit of a thing for baby toes, these little fingers are SO darling! Such perfection.
Savoring a quiet moment.
Krista has now finished Baby AJ’s year-in-the-life sessions, so stay tuned to see more of this growing boy!!
