Mara Is One!

This is not the first time I have got to photograph this little beauty. Mara recently turned one year old and we needed to catch this moment because all to soon she will be losing her first tooth and getting ready for the first day of kindergarten. Oh I miss my little girl at this age but I wouldnt go back. I want to encourage my own daughter to find her way, live life to the fullest and to do that she has to experience new opportunities and learn new lessons. Jessica and James nurture every talent and help her to develop every skill but most importantly tuck her in to bed, enjoy the fingerprints on the fridge and the cheerios stuck to the floor. Cherish every mess, every smile and every goodnight kiss. I believe the change we seek starts with our children and that comes through us. So love, learn, discipline and raise up this generation to be filled with hope and the courage to learn from every heartache and grow with every mistake! Happy Birthday little one and reach for every star!
