All smiles, that is how miss Mila looked as we began this sweet session celebrating her first year of life and boy were her smiles contagious! This precious baby girl was so full of life and personality. We have grown to know and love this sweet family through the years and were so glad to be able to document another joyous time in their lives. We started this adorable session with some beautiful family portraiture and then miss Mila stole the show with her fabulous smash cake at the end.  A perfect ending to a perfect session. Yes, Mila brightens the lives of everyone who knows her and it is my hope your day will be brightened as well... Hope you enjoy! 

My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness...  2 Corinthians 12:9

What beautiful words of encouragement. As I was working on this precious newborn session and thinking about this sweet little family's story, I found my mind drifting to these words. This little momma’s first pregnancy was laced with many fears as she received the news that her little one would need to be taken early due to many health concerns. So just like that little Xander James made his unexpected, however joyous appearance into this world on March 21st at only 34 weeks. Weighing only 4lbs 7oz. he was a tiny perfect miracle. Although this first time mom and dad's experience has been faced with many emotions and challenges you can see how grateful for and absolutely in love with their little man they are.  While the road ahead still faces many health challenges for this sweet momma, I know she wouldn’t change it for the world just to have this sweet angel to love and hold. It is also wonderful to know the confidence we can have in the Lord and His strength. Many blessings to this sweet family and thank you for allowing us to document this special moment in your life... Hope you enjoy!
