Raleigh Baby Birthday Photos - Cary First Birthday Photography

Emme came to see me the other day for her first birthday portraits. First birthday photo sessions are my favorite, well second favorite only to the newborn session. They are definitely the most fun and bring the most laughs of any session.
Its especially exciting when the birthday girl/boy enjoys or attacks the cake. I'd say about half of the kids love the cake and have fun with it, and the other half find the sugar repulsive and we have to persuade them to play in it for show at least.

This little girl was a true girl at heart, she loved her sugar and TORE the cake apart! We simply stood back and watched, and laughed.
Mom brought some adorable outfits and props for her so we had lots to work with. Along with her big smile and bright blue eyes we were golden.

The last time I saw Emme she was 5 weeks old and VERY wide awake. Mom and Dad were hoping to capture her in the traditional sleepy, curly, newborn poses but she was way too excited to do any sleeping. So instead we captured her and her big eyes.

Now here she is at 1 year
