Happy first birthday, Sydney!!

If anyone read my last post, they might be wondering if I’m accidentally repeating myself… but nope, this is another Sydney, also a year old, and actually a friend of the other Sydney!

I photographed this munchkin for the first time in August when she was about three months old. Now the little one is a year old, running around on her own, laughing up a storm, and making funny faces for the camera.

Here are the preview photos…

Look at this expression!

I can’t believe little Sydney is going to be a year old this month… Last year around this time, I was photographing her scrunchy, tiny 2.5-week-old self (check her out!), and now she is a grown-up one-year-old.

I’m sad that I will be missing her first birthday party, which sounds like it will be one fit for “My Super Sweet First Birthday,” if such a show is ever made.

But we did get a session together this May in honor of her first birthday, and here are some previews…

We squeezed in a family shot before focusing on the birthday girl:

And now just Sydney…

Playing on her swing set:

This shot I like alone:

Look at that amazing dimple:

Some lounging poolside:

The mini aqua-ballerina:

And one more shot of this edible one’s sweet face. She has the model look down…

Can’t wait to photograph Sydney as the years go by (but not too fast, please)!

I met little Olive a while ago – She’s in E’s playgroup, and she’s also been in Carolyn’s Kids class at Alexandria School. We set up a shoot for this May for Olive’s one-year photos, and I thought it would be perfect to use the Cleveland Botanical Gardens as a setting… sweet little girl, spring, flowers, plants, butterflies…

Well, Olive has a new-found fear of plants. Check out the poor girl’s panic here:

So no more plants.

Koi pond and stone, good:

In Mom and Dad’s arms away from the swooping butterflies, jungle-like vines, and scary flowers, also good:

Family time on a well-manicured lawn is also nice:

And a deck and backdrop of fake flowers are just great:

I love Olive’s scrunchy sweet smile and amazing blue eyes – and those cheeks, sheesh. Too much!
