Julia Bug | Unofficial "1st Birthday" Session

As promised on last night's blog post, I am posting a sneak peek of Julia's "unofficial" 1st birthday session!

So... here you have it! :)

Would anyone like to take a guess at what I am doing as her birthday theme? No giving the answer away if you already know! Ready...set... guess! :)

Curious Julia | 11 Months Old

People have told me for the longest time that I have my daughter trained to take photos, and, for a while, I believed it (although it was completely unintentional). She would look directly at the camera, and I would never have to fight for her attention. I would capture her smiles, her laughs, her tears, and her many faces.

Unfortunately, here lately, my little bug has become... you could put it... as a little "Curious George." On Monday, she turned 11 months old (Ahh!), and she is so curious about every thing. If there is a box, she wants to know what's in it. If there is a leaf on the ground, she wants to touch it, feel it, and... TASTE it. Everything is a mystery to her at this age. It is so much fun to watch, and a little stressful at times because she tends to help me realize that I haven't "baby-proofed" everything when I thought I had! I love every moment though! It is a learning experience for sure, but definitely a fun and exciting one! I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Anyways, here are a few photos from our shoot today while playing in the yard. Remember how I mentioned leaves earlier? ;) Enjoy.

"Yay Julia!" This girl loves to clap her hands! 

**Stay tuned for a sneak peek of her "Unofficial" 12 Month (1st Birthday) photo shoot on the blog soon! This mama has to get birthday invitations out ASAP, so I had to do a "mini" photo session with her a little early!  

Julia Bug | 10 Months Old | Beach Session

It's hard to believe that my sweet Julia Bug is nine days away from being 11 months old. I know I'm a little behind on getting her 10 month session done, but it's "better late than never." I absolutely love watching my baby girl grow through my camera lens (and in real life of course)! :)

Hope you have a happy weekend!
