First birthday cupcake - {Albuquerque baby photography}

Well, it's been a long time since I managed to post anything. Now I'm out of the habit! I worked some insanely long hours, almost finished everything before the holiday, and then we had a nice long Christmas trip to visit my parents. I was ready for a good photography break :) - but now I'm back and ready to work. (And I'm going to lose my google rankings if I don't start posting again!)

While we were in Colorado, my cousin brought his darling little girl up for her 1 year old pictures. She was DARLING - I loved getting to see her again. It was a little tricky to do portraits in my mom's dark house :) without any of my favorite light modifiers. But they brought one of her favorite chairs, which was so much fun. And the baby was perfect.











The baby was doing a great job of standing up by herself... then she took her first steps and walked to her mom! First steps on camera! I wish I'd managed to switch to video, but I always forget about that when things move fast. I did get some cute pictures.




And she got to eat a cupcake too - she wasn't super enthusiastic about it but she seemed to like the frosting. :)





I was so happy to get to spend a little time with my cousin & his family! Thanks for driving up & sharing your daughter with me! :)
