Graduating HMP Babes | Class of 2015

2016 was one amazing year! It was my first one as a full time photographer.  I no longer had to juggle my crazy retail schedule and I was getting into the swing of owning my own business.

One of the saddest parts of my job is watching my babes graduate.  I go from seeing them, AND their parents, every few months… to only seeing them once a year during a fall family shoot.  So, I am going to feature my HMP babes who were born in 2015 and graduated over the last year through this post.

Dear Ashland,
A wild one you are! You were born into a very special family. Just remember me when you are some famous drummer! I hope I can get some tickets!

Dear Avery Cai,
It was a pleasure seeing you every 3 months. You definitely showed us your personality very early on. Stay strong willed!

Dear Avery Delia,
You are practically family and I am honored you guys drove up from Maryland every three months! You were the only babe to dive head first into your cake. You are going to make an amazing big sister!

Dear Vincenzo… Cenzo,
You may not have a choice on what football team you are allowed to like, but you did choose some amazing parents. If I ever have a son, I hope you two will be best friends growing up like your daddies! I can imagine all the father and son golf trips now!

Dear Dylan,
I had this CRAZY idea in my head that I just had to share. Luckily, you were born just at the right time. You are an angel and I can’t wait to see you as a big brother!!

Dear Emerson,
You are a true miracle baby and I know you will always be a fighter! Your smile is THE BEST I have ever photographed!! I cannot wait to see you as a big sister to your little brother to be!!

Dear Everly,
You put up one heck of a fight during your newborn. However, you gave us nothing but smiles for your cake smash! Your older brother loves you, he may not always show it, but I promise he does!!

Dear Jaxon,
Sweet boy, you slept like an angel for your newborn session and had A BLAST with your cake smash. You were made to be in front of the camera, just like your parents! Take care of that little cousin of yours!

Dear Kylie Jo,
You came into my studio as one of the smallest newborns I ever had and I didn’t get to see your eyes THE ENTIRE TIME! Somehow, you grew twice as fast and outgrew everyone in sight! You have one amazing big sister and a ton of cousins how love you dearly!

Dear Kylie Rose… Smiley Kylie,
I loved watching you grow during your first year. You soiled everything you touched during your newborn session but gave us some amazing shots! I cannot wait to see you as a big sister!!

Dear Olivia… Livy… Babycakes Jr,
I have known your parents which seems like forever. I remember one of their first dates at Applebees. I was the girl in the back row at their wedding screaming Mozel Tov!! You gave the most amazing snuggles during your newborn session. I call myself blessed that I get to watch you grow up!

Dear Peyton,
You slept like an angel during your newborn but made me work during your cake smash! You are the sweetest blondie and definitely picked one amazing family to be born into!

Dear Sean,
You wanted NOTHING to do with your newbornS sessionS, yes plural, but I still love you anyway! Your big sister Hailey likes to steal the show, but I know you will shine bright in your own way!

Dear Summer Paige… SumSum,
I met you and your parents by chance and boy did I hit the jackpot! You are a Warrior Baby and bring the such joy to everyone you meet. Please stay this sweet forever.

Dear Tyler,
I had the pleasure of seeing you every three months. You are one adorable red head and I just know your Grandmother in Heaven brought you down to us. Your smile is contagious and I wish you many more trips to Disney!
