{A White Studio Sitter Session + Fishing Cake Smash Theme}
There’s something incredibly special about photographing a family through all the biggest moments in their story. Grant and Alyssa are what I lovingly call a CBS Legacy Family…and my heart is so full every time I get to document another chapter of their journey! From their engagement and wedding day to maternity and now all of sweet baby Reed’s first year milestones…it’s been such an honor to walk alongside them through every season. These sessions mean more to me than I can ever truly express!
Reed’s one-year session was the perfect way to celebrate everything this past year has held. Like most little ones his age, he started out shy and a little unsure…sticking close to Mom and Dad. But once he warmed up? That sweet, curious, busy boy came to life! He was full of energy and just the right amount of mischief…exploring every corner, flashing those sweet baby grins, and giving us the most adorable glimpse into the toddler stage that’s just beginning.
Watching Grant and Alyssa step into this new season as parents has been such a joy. Reed is so deeply loved, and it shows in every glance, every giggle, every gentle hand reached out to guide him. I’m endlessly grateful to continue capturing these fleeting moments for families like theirs…this is what CBS Legacy is all about.
Happy 1st birthday, Reed! You are so very loved!
