The ants go marching one by one hurrah…hurrah.

Sometimes when a plan doesn’t come together, it turns out to be a most fortuitous occurrence.???? At Zoe’s 1 year shoot, the sealed cake was set on the sidewalk while we were taking shots of her on the grass and the ants got to it before we did.?? We really didn’t want to miss the planned cake smash portion of the session and since Zoe’s family lives nearby, it made it easy to do a quick makeup session in my home studio.???? She was A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.?? It took her a minute to dive in but once she got a lick, she was a fan.?? I love all the blue and pink hand and footprints all over.?? (Good choice on the icing colors T. !)?? I am getting anxious for Troy’s cake smash session.?? I love them!

I love her little turned in feet.?? So dainty.

Easy to see why Zoe is so photogenic.

I know I am posting a bunch but I haven’t had any one year olds for a bit and I couldn’t resist.???? It was so fun to get to see little Zoe Star again.?? I love it when newborn clients come back so I can see how they have grown and cuddle them again.?? You may remember Zoe’s newborn session because there was quite an ironic story involved.?? To refresh your memory…

I had two newborn clients scheduled last May that were due around the same time.?? Because of that, I was keeping track of both mamas via facebook so I could manage my calendar better.?? Much to my surprise, I noticed that both moms went into labor at the same time.?? Literally the same time.???? There were several coincidental comments that I observed so I had to do some sleuthing.?? At the end of the day I discovered the following:

1.???? Both moms were expecting their first child.
2.?? Both moms went into labor at the same time.
3.?? Both moms delivered at the same hospital.
4.?? With the same Doctor!
5.?? Both moms had c-sections.
6.?? The Doctor delivered Grady and then went straight in to deliver Zoe. (Or maybe it was the other way around??? I forget.)
7.?? Both clients had hired ME as their newborn photographer and they did not know one another.
8.?? They both lived in the same neighborhood!

Needless to say, Zoe and Grady were destined to be friends so I arranged that.

I think Zoe and Grady were my last sessions before Troy arrived in June and then my schedule slowed down.???? I remember how fun it was just finishing up on newborn processing only to have my OWN newborn arrive.???? Gotta love those two month pregnancies!

It was so good to see you again sweet Zoe and family!
