The moment that changed me for ever was the moment my first child was born.
I was happy, filled with hope, and thought, ‘Now I understand the whole point
of work, of life, of love.’ -Paul Theroux

I have a special place in my heart for the One Year Old cake smashes! It’s a beautiful moment to celebrate reaching the first year milestone, and getting to see the parents be so delighted is so special to me. I really enjoy planning out the setups, props, and outfits with the mom or dad. Usually, they have a small idea or inspiration that they want to bring to life, and so we decide together what is needed to make it happen. I loved this Bee and Sunflower theme, because it was so pertinent to Springtime, and so very cute. Miss Autumn is full of sass and sweetness, and has a gorgeous head full of curls! She is a beautiful little girl.

“Autumn Grace is a daddy’s girl, and has a bit of a sassy attitude when she doesn’t get her way! She loves to play outside in her swing, taking baths, and eating anything and everything”, explains her mama, “She is growing way too fast for my liking, and is almost walking! She has ten teeth, and just turned one year old. I love spending my days with her, and I refer to her as my ‘mini-me’. She is a blessing to our lives, and has been from the very beginning…she makes our world go round. We are looking forward to scheduling many more sessions with Paula, as her work is so beautiful”.

Thank you, Johnson family, for sharing Autumn with me!
