Sweet Cassidy is such a special little lady to me. You see, Cassidy was one of the first newborns that I got to follow through my first year in Greenville, Sc. I was so excited to spending time with this sweet girl and to get to watch her bloom on the last year.

I met sweet Cassidy through a model call I posted. I honestly just wanted to take pictures of a baby girl in a new prop that my husband bought for me while I was out of town. As soon as Cassidy’s mom reached out to me, I knew that Cassidy would be prefect. She stole my heart with her cheeks and hair as a newborn, and her smile and personality as a one year old!! During her newborn session, this sweet little love was so easy to work with. She let me pose her anyway that I needed, which is not always the case with newborns. They often have a mind of their own. I was in high hopes that she would be as easy to work with as a toddler and she was! It was an answered blessing.

During our planning for this session, Cassidy’s mom told me that the theme of the first birthday party was “up, up, and away”. It is so fitting, as the time flies by so quickly with children and before you know it the year is up up and away. They grow so quickly and it tears me apart to watch this sweet little loves grow so quickly. I see their little features shortly after they are born and then I get to watch them grow into their personality. During this session, I learned that this sweet girl is one of the lucky ones. During her first 6months of life, she got to stay at home with her mother, and during her next 6months, she got to stay at home with her father. it was amazing to see the bond that she has with both of her parents.

This sweet girl was so happy and loved her smash cake so much during her one year birthday session. I feel so blessed that I got to capture it! Check it out below!!!
