Penelope Turns One!

Kalin was one of my first friends in high school. Her lively, goofy and confident personality combined with her joy for life made her easy to love and call a dear friend.

One of the realities of life is: when you go to college there will be many friends you drift away from. Some you may never see again, some you'll bump into at a random sports event or the grocery store.

A few months after I graduated from UD and moved back to Columbus, Kalin and Todd had little Penelope - the most beautiful baby girl and one of the greatest blessings (for a million different reasons, of course).

Kalin inquired with me about taking some newborn pictures of Penelope and my heart leapt at the opportunity. And I guess the rest is history?

I've been so blessed to reconnect with one of my best friends and document some of the most special moments. So so so honored to tell your story, Kalin! xoxoxo

Penelope - you are beautiful, confident, sassy and strong. Happy first birthday, miss p! I can't imagine a world without you in it!

SWEET Penelope took a look down at her parents sharing a kiss and giggled to herself as she gently laid her head on her dad's. Instant tears from this photographer.

My kinda "cake smash"!!!
