What’s the most precious gift to receive on Christmas? Well, a baby of course! Duh, people! Duh! Lately my son thinks it’s hilarious when he says any name followed by duh (especially, Duh, Momma! Duh!). Last year on December 25th, Carolina and David were blessed with a beautiful and healthy baby girl. I was honored to help design and decorate Carolina’s woodland themed baby shower, as well as creating and photographing a photo booth for her that day. Now, almost three hundred and sixty-five days later, they are preparing to celebrate their daughter’s first birthday and their first Christmas at home instead of a hospital. Now, you can call Carolina one of Santa’s little helpers because this year she has time to set up pretty gold accents and sweet smelling pine cones to celebrate her daughter’s first year and the magic of the season.
Carolina you have a beautiful family, and you are such a sweet mama. Juliana’s personality just shines through these photos. Your smiles and warmth oozed out of my lens, making it so much easier for me to share your love for one another. Just a little early, but Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas sweet pea!.jpg "jb1")

Some one was being a girly girl that didn’t even want to get her hands dirty. It’s like she’s saying, “Come on people! I’m wearying silver polka dots and pink tights. You want me to dirty this outfit?”.jpg "jb16")
Still a little unsure..jpg "jb17")
With mama and dada’s help, she made a small dent..jpg "jb18")

Here’s the deal. All of the trees that had a ribbon attached to it were ripe and okay to pick. Glad they told us that before hand, or then my applesauce would have been tasting like those candies you used to eat in Jr. High, Sour Apple lollipops..jpg "ab1")
Our first stop was a quaint little farm with the cutest country feel. Complete with a southern-style white two-story house, a red barn, and a fat old pig out back..jpg "ab3")
“Toss the worm-holed apples in the crates please. We don’t want them to go to waste,” said the ranch owner. Umm…if you mean won’t go to waste by feeding the wormed-apples to the pigs then okay. Well at least I hope that’s there plan. Ewww.jpg "ab4")
Of course he loved touching the “bad” apples. Ay, little boy!.jpg "ab5")

This was the second location, which was much much larger then the first. That meant more photo ops! Yay!.jpg "ab11")
Seriously, I love him…but when I was potty training him this week I just had to keep reminding myself of how his cute face looks when he’s not driving me up the walls. I’m thinking….thanks to these photos, he is now successfully potty trained. . Ha! Ya, ya, ya! .jpg "ab12")

He is just too silly for words..jpg "ab14")
Can you tell he’s a photographer’s son?.jpg "ab15")
I love this story board the best..jpg "ab16")

Boys can dress up too!.jpg "ab18")
“Dada” working hard for our hand pressed apple cider. Seriously the best cold apple cider I’ve tasted and I love me some apple cider..jpg "ab19")
