Charlotte First Birthday Shoot!

This little cutie pie and I share the same birthday! Not only did I have the honor of shooting this cutie's birthday photos but also spending our birthday together. I had been looking forward to this shoot for sometime. Soon after I become friends with her mommy and learned her birthday was the same as mine I could not wait to take her First Birthday Photos!
We headed to Wolfe Park in Binghamton. I love it there- trees, water with small dock, gazebo, large wooden swings, not to mention the stream and trails. It is just a great place to shoot any type of shoot! It was a nice August day but we did have a short rain shower. The shower caused mommy to slip and bruise up her knee. We also headed down to the stream, where I also injured myself with a scrape to the arm from a branch. But all of things were worth it because we got some really GREAT shots!
 
 



 Charlotte's great aunt made the shirt with the wings for her, the birthday party was a Fairy theme and this is the outfit she wore for the party.

We did the first set of photos inside the gazebo while it was raining. The rain came to an end and we ran up to this great boulder. No sooner did we get out there and get a few shots and it started to rain again. So, we scooped her and the camera up and headed back to the gazebo, this is when mommy slipped and banged her knee up pretty good.
But this photo was worth it!



LOVE baby toe shots!

 
This outfit came from me! I saw it and could not resist. I found the hair bow right before the outfit and knew that I wanted to use them together, throw in the purple backdrop, and we have a great photo!




There are still more to come of this shoot. I am working on getting the rest ready to post. Be sure to check back in the next couple of days to see the rest of Charlotte's shoot. There will be another tutu, water photos, and a cake smash!
