My baby turned one~Pretty field, vintage chair

My awesome photographer friend, Rachael Penman, has the coolest chair and she let me borrow it! I am a month overdue on my babys' first birthday, but I did a photo shoot, and she looks about the same as she did a month ago.  This field--WOW, it is STUNNING!  Who knows how long it will last, but it was fun for me.  I am numbering the images so you can help me decide what to print for our home.
Ah...the beautiful evening light...

My oldest son came to help me (he carried her while I carried the chair).  Love this moment captured below.

Ok...we'll go home. 


Share with me your favorite.  It's hard to be objective as the mama because I love my baby in all of them.  Notice I got lots of candid shots, she refused to look at me.

These pictures are wonderful! I love how you can tell exactly what depth the camera is focusing because of the flowers! Beautiful :)

While I do love the chair, my favorite is #1. You do an awesome job!

My favorites are #8 and #4. Beautiful field and love that chair. Great pics.

Vanessa said...

I think I love #2 the most, but the runners up would be 7.5 and 8. Man I wish we lived by you so you could photograph our family.

My baby is about the same age(I still haven't done her 1 year pics either!) I love #4. You can still see her face but still capture the her interest in the world around her.
