This little cutie turned two this week. And when I went to look for the blog post to share, I realized that I never posted one – WHICH IS CRAZY! – because I loved every single one of the images from this session. So, I decided it’s never too late to share my favourite images from Naomi’s first birthday.
Mama had some amazing ideas for Naomi’s session. Together, we put our heads together and made it a reality! 
When mom and dad are this gorgeous, it’s no wonder Naomi is so beautiful!
I loved this simple cake setup. Just enough of everything to not take away from the girl of the hour! I usually find that extravagant set-ups end up taking the attention away from the child that’s in the portrait. 
These two are way too much fun! I’ve photographed their maternity portraits, Naomi’s newborn portraits and Naomi’s first birthday and Monica and Holden never disappoint! I’m also pretty sure that I’ve been handed a bevy every time I’ve walked into their home. #BonusPoints
After getting messy with the cake, a little clean up was required. (Mostly for mom and dad, since Naomi was probably the cleanest baby post-cake smash that I have ever seen.)
Maximus loves his little brother so much, we had to ask him to stop kissing Simon so we could get a few photographs of his face. 
Occasionally, a family just fits the lifestyle, go with the flow, session and this was definitely one of them! 
As much as this is not a “great” photograph, I’m so in love with it. Nora’s got her grumpy, contemplating life face. Charlie is comforting his little brother. Ahhh, so sweet. I love that Mom loves these images as much as I do because “It’s just us!” THESE are the real moments, not the pose ones, these are the ones you’ll want to remember.
I love those lashes! 
At the end of the session, this little one cuddled into Dad and it was the sweetest moment, I had to capture a portrait.
