Little Miss Finley is 6 months old. But she has been sitting up since she was 5 months old.
I can’t prove it, but I think she might be a Super Baby in disguise.
In veeerrrrry cute disguise…
(does that petittskirt not make you just want to keel over from the cuteness?)
Finley came to her session with her doting Dad…
… a few extremely cute outfits …
… and her brother and cousins in tow.
If I had to pick her chief Super Baby Power, I’d say it’s definitely wrapping everyone around her cute, little finger.
This adorable girl just turned one.
And she seems pretty excited about it:
She really is adorable, isn’t she?
With an adorable nursery, also.
Even content to hang out in her crib while I snapped pictures of her.
We had a good session and were able to catch lots of one-year-old personality.
I love this little innocent look:
And since both of my own kids are blanket-chewers, this picture makes me happy:
At every session, I try a bunch of different things. Some things work, some things don’t. And when you’re done, you pick the best images of what worked and go with them.
And this time I just had to share 2 things we tried that did not work particularly well (but were still pretty cute).
1) We tried a picture with some balloons from the big birthday party that took place the previous day. She liked the balloons, but was unsure of me sitting so dang close to take a picture of them.
2) We slipped outside to see if we could catch a snow picture or two. But on this particular day, the new one-year-old was feeling about winter and these cold temperatures the same way we’ve all been feeling lately:
Don’t worry, kiddo. Spring will get here eventually. I promise.
This little guy was a cutie inside…
… and outside.
My lands, those blue eyes are stunning.
His older brother was pretty darn cute, too, I must say.
Plus, he gave me my favorite shot of the day.
You might remember seeing pictures of this handsome little man back near the beginning of the year.
During the dead of winter, in fact.
It was definitely nice to catch some pictures of him enjoying warmer weather.
Egads, he’s cute.
His mom is gorgeous, too.
(doesn’t she look like the most fun mom ever?)
And let us not forget little sister. With the curls and the little, white teeth, and the blue eyes. It’s like the trifecta of 9-month-old cuteness.
And it’s not shocking that this handsome family photographs well together.
(do you think anyone would notice if I stole this photo for my own holiday cards? … No? …)
However, this is actually my favorite family shot from the morning:
