Elsie Ryan, 1 year old

Phew, I have been working hard on these photos and I am so happy to have them done and posted in less than a week! I may be the meanest mommy ever to wake up my baby at 4:50 am on her first birthday to head out for a sunrise photo shoot:-) But since there is no way I can keep her up for the hour before sunset, I figured this was the best way to shoot during the "golden hour." Thank you Elsie for being such a sport! She had a fun birthday and really enjoyed the attention. I swear she woke up on the 9th of July a different kid. Of course not really, but she is really a 1 year old now in size and development. Her personality is really coming out and she is so much fun. Get ready for a ton of pictures! PS, you may prefer to view these gallery style by double clicking on the first image and then flipping through.  That may be better for laptop people with smaller screens:-)
