I had the pleasure of photographing Eliza and her little family a couple of weeks ago. They are all so wonderful. And, today is Eliza's first birthday! She was the New Year's baby for 2014 at Great River Medical Center. Here's a link to the article from the Hawkeye, if you're interested.

Jessica Mickey of Eyris Photography photographed her as a newborn, and is such a talented photographer. You'll have to take a peek at her work. Here's one of Eliza's newborn photos.

This session had a couple of extra special touches with an old quit, and an old quilt bear Megan's  grandmother made for Megan when she was little. Both are in amazing shape and were an adorable addition to this session. I absolutely LOVE things with nostalgia in photos. Enjoy :)

For the love of grass...

I really love Megan's feet.. and Brandon's foot (lol) in this one. It was unintentional, but I love that she's looking up at her parents. And playing with her toes :)

Rosy cheeks. hehe :)

Her headband lasted 3 seconds. Literally.

Babies and books <3

And her eyes are still a gorgeous blue.

Happy first birthday, Eliza!
