First Birthday Photography

When I first met little Clodagh she was getting her 6 month old portraits taken and I was struck by her sweet personality and her BIG blue eyes. Well, although she has been busy growing and getting mobile, when I saw her on the weekend to take shots of her on her First Birthday, I was once again taken by her friendly and sweet nature and of course by those gorgeous eyes!! Aren't they amazing?

I also went to take some family shots and although we took the standard family poses Mum and Dad were happy to jump on the bed to get some more fun and casual shots.... of course (in my opinion) it's these shots that just shine :)

I should also at least mention the help and support given happily by the one other family member. When I needed Clodagh to at least face my direction, Max happily came and sat with me to get her attention - she absolutely loves him, so he was very helpful and very eager to assist. As long as he got a treat. Lol, so I made sure I grabbed a couple of shots shots of him, he's pretty cute too!

Considering it was such a beautiul day which we were lucky to get considering Melbourne weather lately, we went out to the local park to grab the last shots of the day. Despite the wind turning the balloons into dangerous weapons we had a pretty good time, with Clodagh making sure she smiled and waved at every dog she saw! Thanks for such a fun session guys, I got so many great shots I couldn't help but share a heap!! Can't wait to see you for the next time xxx
