Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph a 1 year old birthday party. It wasn’t just a birthday party, it was a celebration. Exactly one year ago there were two sweet babies born into this world at just 26 weeks gestation. They have been through a lot in their one year and they have caught up and passed expectations and charmed their way into the hearts of everyone. This party was a chance for family and friends to gather together to share in the joy of all of the milestones that these two beautiful miracles have achieved this year. Happy birthday!

Have I mentioned the love?! All of their living great-grandparents were there to celebrate along with all of their grandparents and a huge amount of uncles, aunts, and tons of cousins! The love was palpable.

Mommy took care of every detail. There were many memories throughout their first year on display. What a long way they’ve come from 2 pounds 5 ounces and 1 pound 10 ounces!

Let them eat cake! There’s not much better than one year olds feeding themselves cake – ha! Miss Summer really got into it!
