Her First Birthday - Hilliard, Ohio

#weddingclientshavingbabies is a hashtag that I created.  AnnaMaria & Matthew are former wedding clients that invited me back into their lives to help celebrate little Miss Eva's 1st Birthday!!

Both Mama & Baby E were first wearing Polleras - a traditional hand-made dress that hailed from Panama.  To keep her heritage, they are teaching her Spanish and English at the same time.  So I was able to practice my baby Spanish with her... really, it's Spanish on my level!! :)  "Mira Eva, look, mira"  

I was extremely impressed with how verbal she is!!  I mean she's only one, but she was constantly asking me, "What's this?"  But then again, her mama is a Kindergarten teacher.  

Break time: let's gnaw on an apple. Yum!!

I love when clients are not afraid of a little water... the lighting was lovely outside.  Eva didn't smile too much for the camera, but she was all giggles as soon as I put it down.  We decided that she was fascinated with my job and studying me.  It may also be the disconnect of personal interaction - she can't see me as well with a camera blocking my face.  But she really is all smiles all the time... except for the camera... lol

And Eva was fascinated with her umbrella (which was way too big for her to hold it up on her own... Papa was holding the very top of it).  

I love the little explorer that she is!!  Always evaluating the little things.  

Happy 1st Birthday Eva!!
