It always comes as a shock when you have your baby on your hip going about your daily routine, when you realize that one year has gone by.  One whole year in the blink of an eye.  A year filled with so many first.  The first time she looked you in the eye and knew you.  The first time she smiled.  Her first laugh.  That first spoon of baby food that ended up all over her cheek instead of in her mouth.  The first step and the feeling of holding that chubby baby hand in your that brought you so much joy.  The first tear, the first hug…so many memories.  A baby’s first year has got to be the most emotional charged year of life possible.  And here she is celebrating her first birthday and you wonder just how fast all of the next years will fly by.  And you tell her, like every other mother, to please not grow up and to stay little just for you.  But she won’t listen.  She will continue to blossom and glow and she turns into the amazing young lady she is destined to be.  And so you have your memory and your photographs.  One of those fades, the other will not.  When I look back at pictures of my own children, and all those priceless memories and emotions come flooding back, I know that what I do for families is a work that is so valuable.  With pictures I can lock in time your greatest joys, your most cherished memories, your greatest accomplishments.  It is an honor and a privilege to be a photographer.  Happy Birthday little Ruby!  You have a light in your smile that is contagious.  You warm the soul with that twinkle in your eye.  And all the love you are lucky to have you!
