Happy birthday Mia!


I've been photographing this beautiful family since Mia was in her mamas belly. It's such an honor documenting families from weddings > maternity > newborn > milestones > seniors > family. When Ashley & Mia showed up to the studio, Mia was a little unsure of me. She just woke up from a car nap and wasn't about getting her pictures done. I don't think anyone digs a big camera in your face after waking up. After letting her roam and warm up we played with the Christmas ornaments & checked out the beautiful Christmas tree. It didn't take her too long before I got some smiles out of her. Sometimes we just need to let kids explore before getting all up in their bubble.
