Noelle Kristen: 1 Year Portraits // mt. pleasant, tx child photographer

On November 20, 2010 I and a group of my friends got The Text.

Bethany is in labor.

That split second sent me back...9 months back to when we first heard the wonderful news that Bethany and David were going to have a baby. :D

The next day we went and saw them at the hospital and got to meet the precious Noelle Kristen Rogers for the first time. :)

Then three months later I had the pleasure of photographing how much she had grown. :)

So it was really a no-brainer when Bethany came and asked me at the beginning of December if I would do some 1-year portraits of Noelle for David as a surprise Christmas present. 

"Are you kidding me? Of.course." :)

She got her ears pierced for her 1st birthday! Something about baby girl earrings...I lose it every time. ;)

We also grabbed a few shots of her and Mommy in the casuals. :)

Then she got gussied up for the next half of the shoot. :D 

Don't you just love that dress and bow ?! Go Bethany! Perfect outfit choice. :)

AH! I LOVE this one! She looks STUNNING! It almost has an old Russian feel to it. :)

I couldn't decide :)

Oh, I can't think of what face to do for y'all!

Maybe if I...ok, wait just a second...let me get my bow fixed...

Ta-da! :D

How was that? Pretty good?

Now I know what you're thinking...maybe it wasn't that impressive...

Hang on, I got another one that will blow your socks off...Wait for it...wait for it...

Shazam! Told ya. :D

Btw, check out the cedar bush to the right...it totally looked like a Christmas tree. Score! :)

Then Bethany joined in again for some dressy pics. :)

 Bethany's friend  Kjelse  also tagged along to help Noelle smile and to keep us all company.

Which ultimately worked out great because we were able to get some of their babies!! :) So adorable! {I think this was Kjelse's brilliant idea btw :D}

Hey Mom, did  I do good today? I did? Great! I thought you did good too. :D

Wait, what are you doing? Why are you...oh no...you're not actually going to...

Yes...yes you are. *Sigh* Yeah, ok Mom, I love you too...

 Alright, alright, move along....beat it people...there's nothing to see here... ;)
