One Year Pics

Picture overload warning!

I had Stella’s pictures taken a little over a week ago to commemorate her first year! I wanted them taken when she was actually a year old, but not too far past a year old. Picky, picky – I know.

We went up to the farm {where we will be moving…eventually} and took the pictures at Blake’s Aunt Brigitte’s house. Blake’s cousin, Kim, took the pictures and they turned out just precious. I’ve been so consistent about having pictures made of Stella because I LOVE looking back at pictures {I am, admittedly, not as good with video as I wish I was}. I have album after album from the last 6 years of Blake and I being together and I love opening them up and reminiscing. I could honestly decorate of every square inch of wall space in our home with pictures of this baby girl, but I will refrain!

I bought Stella's purple, ruffle romper and headband on Etsy a couple months ago. And then, my girlfriend, Lauren, gave Stella the shabby chic romper for Stella's birthday. I was so happy with the way both outfits turned out!

Since we had over 300 pictures, I’ll just share my favorites…which is a lot. But I forewarned you! And yes...I HAD to comment on each and every one ;)
