Lynden Joy just turned one! This girl. I mean, look at the personality in her precious face. Oh, those squishy cheeks, sparkling eyes, chubby legs. Pure one-year-old perfection.

Let me tell you a story about Lyndi's strand of pearls. These have been in her family for 4 generations now, and when she gets married she'll be the 4th woman to wear them on her wedding day. What a great family hierloom!

I should also mention that her Mommy made all the headbands she wore. In fact she just whipped up the feather one right before our session. I think it fits Lyndi's flapper style romper and pearls perfectly, don't you? Melissa is certainly a talented woman!

Happy first birthday Samuel, you adorable, bright-eyed, cake-devouring child!  I can't believe it has been a year since we met for his newborn photos! Big boy!
