Our little girl is getting so very big! She just had her big one year birthday, and I simply can't believe it! She is officially walking everywhere and getting dangerously fast. She is growing into a toddler and is so very cute in the process :)

I never could have imagined how crazy beautiful parenthood would be. Simply put, Maggie is the best thing in our lives. There are definitely tough days and sleepless nights and I think I may have seen five or so gray hairs on Kevin's head- But my-oh-my when that girl smiles the sun couldn't out shine her.

This set of images is from months 10 and 11, I simply can't keep up with how fast time is moving!

Enjoy!
This was the first time she stood unassisted for a good 10 seconds. It was impressive.

This is one of my all time favorite images of my girl. She looks angelic.
Ok, and I love this one equally! Look at those blue eyes :)

Sleepy Maggie, upon waking.

I don't even remember why she was crying, but those bottom teething sure are cute!
She likes to climb in and out of everything. She will most likely be a daredevil by age two...pray for me.

She is a curiously little girl. And pine straw is pretty cool.

The disaster formerly known as our living room.

Maggie got her first taste of strawberry goodness recently at our local strawberry patch, Lewis Farms. She was hooked immediately. So much that when we pried the very muddy strawberry from her very muddy grip she had a melt down. It was highly amusing.

Enjoy!


Yes I know, pesticides and blah, blah, blah, but it was just one time :)


Oh yes folks, it was a hot mess.


I find this image hilarious. Maggie is mad that we won't let her eat more strawberries, I am laughing at her expense.

I had to hose her down in the sink. It was really that bad.

We have been busy. That it is an understatement. Somehow the alleged "slow season" has not been slow at all and suddenly April is here! We have been super busy in the studio and as well as out and about photographing some fun sessions lately... and hopefully will be sharing images soon. I promise we will be better at blogging :)

We are all getting very excited about the upcoming wedding season and all you fabulous couples we get to work with this year! Hello to spring and warmer weather and beautiful, wonderful, lovey-dovey weddings!

For your enjoyment: "The joy and anguish of learning to eat," love Maggie Millard.

Maggie met her cousin Cooper for the first time this week! Cooper is two months younger than Maggie, however one would never be able to tell this as he is a beast in comparison.
I brought along a camera to document the epic meeting...which turned out to be not so epic because they weren't that interested in each other :)
We are looking forward to some fun beach days with Cooper this summer!

I find them very cute.
