Aspen's 1 Year Photobook

I am pretty proud of myself that I have finished Aspen's one year photobook and she is not even 14 months old yet! Having this blog really helps me be able to document all of these things so that I can make these books. I only make an annual book for the 1st year and then after that I do it for trips/vacations/photo shoots, etc. I love having these but more than anything I hope that they appreciate them when they are older.

Aspen's Newborn Pictures

So I have finally finished making Aspen's newborn photo book but I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures here. These were all taken by my friend/photographer Jamie of Making Memories, LLC. She is awesome, obviously. I wanted to have a much more simple theme with these pictures and so these were all taken at her home with simple backgrounds when Aspen was 8 days old. I love how they turned out! Jamie was so patient with both Aspen and Everly and I am so grateful for her. Aspen peed and pooped everywhere including on Justin's shirt but you can't tell in the pictures. We were really exhausted after this photoshoot but already looking back at these pictures after a month, I am still so in love with them.

Newborn Photos

When Everly was 1 week old we had a good friend of mine named Jamie come into our house to take her newborn pictures. Jamie and I play soccer together and she is a very talented photographer as well. You can check out her work on her blog Making Memories Photography, LLC. She is also the awesome friend of mine who did my day of wedding planning and took photos of me and my bridesmaids before I got married. We loved the work she did for us at our wedding and we love the way that the newborn pictures came out! Photographing a little newborn can be very difficult (and messy as they are not wearing a diaper for several hours) however, Jamie makes it seem easy. This probably because she has experience photographing her own little girls! If you need a photographer in the Phoenix metro area I definitely recommend her and you can email me and I will forward your information on to her! Below is a slideshow of Everly's newborn photos. Enjoy!
