Addison's First Birthday! | Raleigh Family Photographer

It's not every day that you turn one, so this was a special day! The Green family asked me to come over and capture their daughter Addison's first birthday (please just look at her little curls!). It was so cute watching her open presents and try cake for the first time. All of the family and friends were really sweet, and I was so glad that I could share in the day and be there for this great occasion!

First Birthday | Raleigh Family Photographer

My sweet baby is a year old. It's so hard to believe (even though I should believe it since she's now able to get out of her Pack n' Play on her own)! My mom and Joanna came to visit and we celebrated that night with banana cupcakes, sugar cookies in the shape of Talah's silhouette, and ice cream (and decorations and presents, of course).

I'm so mad at myself for this one. I was so busy thinking about singing to her and bringing her her cupcake (and not getting any melting wax on it) that I paid no attention to the filthy bib she's wearing. Cringe.

We served her ice cream in a monkey shot glass : )
