One Year| Charlotte, NC | Hattie Cole

“Your little hand’s wrapped around my finger
And it’s so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you’re dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything’s funny, you got nothing to regret
I’d give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Oh darling, don’t you ever grow up
Don’t you ever grow up, just stay this little” – Taylor Swift

Hattie is almost one! I photographed Courtney’s maternity photos and Hattie’s newborn session at their home. Now, I got to capture a new beginning at their brand new home and miss Hattie tasting some cake for the very first time. This is the life they built. They laid the marriage foundation, started a family, built a home, and now celebrating this milestone of Hattie turning ONE. It is so beautiful. I love the way we could freeze time for a moment to remember snuggles, tickles, kisses, and reading books together. That family time is so special. I love that Hattie will be able to look back at these photos and re-live those moments and feelings all over again. Happy birthday miss Hattie!
