I first met Gracie when she was just a few weeks old.  The minute I saw those dark eyelashes (on a newborn, no less!), I knew she was going to grow into the most stunning little girl.  I was super excited when her parents contacted me to photograph her first birthday portraits.  It’s always a fun surprise to walk in the door and see how they have changed.

 

I had fun being a fly on the wall while Tracey and Jason sang Gracie French children’s songs.   Such a lovely family.

No first birthday is complete without cake.

The dogs had fun helping with cleanup!

My favorite part of the morning was photographing Gracie in her post-cake bath.  Click here for another favorite from the series.

Happy Birthday, Gracie!
