Happy First Birthday to My Baby Boy

Wow. One year old today. I keep asking myself where an entire year has gone.  During the newborn stage time was creeping by and I was in constant state of sleepless, mommy-fatigue.  Once he started interacting with us {and sleeping a bit more} time started flying past at high speed.  I can't express how much I love my little guy.  He helped me become a mother.  It has not been an easy journey, but it has been so meaningful and amazing. I enjoy that right now we are having a lot of fun laughing together.  He's developing such a funny sense of humor and he's my little sidekick. Happy first birthday, Little One, I will love you forever!

Thanks to the amazing Melissa, of Melissa Lyn Photography, for capturing these fun cake shots and family portraits to document this first year of our little one's life.

I'm so excited about this year's Mother's Day Portrait Mini Sessions!  We have a beautiful outdoor location lined up to create some stunning portraits.  It seems like mothers are frequently the ones taking photos of their kids, but are rarely the ones actually in the photos.  This is the perfect opportunity to document the love you share with your own little ones.  This session could be an early Mother's Day gift for your sweetie (gift certificates are available) or a gift you give yourself for being such a wonderful mama.  These will be the only mini sessions that we will be offering until this Fall, so be sure to reserve your appointment time today by emailing erin@erinsullivanphoto.com.

I am pleased to introduce you to sweet, little Kassia.  She is already so dearly loved by her parents.  It's hard for me to believe that I photographed David and Alexa's wedding six and a half years ago!  Alexa was sharing with me how quickly those years have passed and even more so, how quickly the first two and a half weeks of Kassia's life have flown by.  I can completely understand that feeling when I look at how quickly the past seven months have passed with my own little guy.  I feel like he was this little only seven weeks ago and not seven months ago.  Knowing that time truly does pass at a crazy speed makes me find even more meaning in my work.  In a few more weeks she will start to interact with the world around her and barely even look like a newborn anymore.  David and Alexa, I am so honored to be able to capture these early memories that I know you are cherishing.  I am certain that you will be amazing parents and your love will continue to grow as your daughter grows.  It was so good to reconnect and see you again - and she is absolutely perfect. Congratulations!
