Natalie is ONE {} Saint Louis Children’s Photography

…I loved this kid before I ever met her…

…I’ve had the privilege of photographing her since her middle-of-the-night debut last March…

…and I don’t know where the time goes, but she’s ONE, and on. the. move.

After an attempted “studio” shoot (where she wasn’t about to sit still long enough for a picture, let alone smile about it), we drove down the street from my house where this beautifully lit field/bridge to nowhere sits adjacent to a strip mall parking lot…

Once she was free to roam, she was a happy girl…

hello gorgeous eyes.

ummmm….favorite.

Dear Natalie: Happy Birthday (a little late 🙂 ) sweet girl…
