I met sweet Harper on one of the ONLY frigid days this winter. She was about to turn one and mom wanted to get some pics of her and her family before the big first birthday party. As with most munchkins on a photo session day....she didn't nap. I don't know HOW kiddos at this age can sense that mom and dad have something planned, but they do. And they rarely nap on those days.

But this little one was still so happy and you would never know she was missing a nap (nothing like my kids!!!). We spent some time getting some shots in her adorable little tutu, then got some family shots until we moved into the cake smash. The cake smash went very well...until we encouraged a little "smash of the cake" and then the tired little girl let the tears flow.

I had such a great time meeting such a sweet family - thank you Jess and Andy!

And onto the photos!
