Matthew Donald { one year }

I am SO excited to welcome back sweet Matthew Donald (and his adorable brother Joshua).  I first photographed Matthew when he was a tiny, sleepy newborn - then six months later for Christmas photos.  One of my absolute favorite parts of this job is getting to see these babies grow up over the course of one year.  It's such an exciting time as a parent, and I love getting to capture each stage for them.

Matthew's personality has blossomed so much since I last saw him.  He is still as sweet as can be, but has this hidden little mischievous side (that sparkle in those beautiful baby blues totally gives it away). ;)  And his big brother Joshua continues to melt my heart with his excitement over "picture time!"  We had so much fun with Matthew inside (snuggles with his favorite Elmo, tossing around that same bucket he was snoozing in 1-year ago, and a delicious mini-cake smash thanks to his mama)!  Then the fun moved to my backyard (so thrilled to be outside with my camera again) where the boys could just be boys.

Enjoy the sneak peak, and Happy Birthday Matthew!
