watching her grow…

into a funny, smart and adorable little girl has been such a wonderful journey. My first photo session with little Miss J was at three months as a newborn and then various milestones in her first year. In so many ways, I have grown with her while watching her grow. And over the next two years I have also photographed her annually. When we met for J’s three years photos in San Francisco, it was to be a sunny day. It turned out to be quite cold and blistery and our original plans for the shoot changed. She was pretty cold but braved the photo session as a little intrepid explorer. This is a larger than usual share but I just couldn’t help sharing this sweet little person that has become so dear to me.

See Ms J’s previous sessions at 3m, 6m, 10m, 1 yo and 2 yo.
