A Year in the Life: From Maternity to One Year Old with Storybook Sessions

Some sessions are special because of the location. Some are special because of the light. And some are special because you get to watch a whole story unfold over time. This family is one of those stories. Over the course of a year, I had the joy of photographing them three times. First for maternity photos. Then newborn portraits at home.
