Favorite food, snack, junk food, candy, etc…

What is one thing your child can’t live without?

Favorite memory from your child’s second year…
Oh there are soooo many wonderful memories. Just watching her learn and grow is such a blessing. Seeing how much she changes and watching her blossoming little personality shining through a little more each and everyday. I would have to say another big thing for this year would be gaining her independence and wanting to do EVERYTHING herself!! Also, becoming a big sister was a big adjustment for us all, but we had no doubt that she would do great and step up to her new role! Seeing how well she adjusted and just how accepting and excited she was about her baby brother made us soo proud! Over this last year watching them interact and the love and bond they have formed already for one another is the best feeling…. as a parent there is no greater joy!
Share a little bit of your child’s personality with us!
I would describe Aubrey as sweet, loving, caring, energetic, silly, outgoing, adventurous, & always happy!!

We have had the pleasure of working with Crystal for over 3 years now! When I was pregnant with Aubrey she did my maternity shoot and we have used her ever since!

What age/month has been your favorite and why?
Every month since month 7 has been so much fun. That’s when Anabelle first started moving and becoming much more interactive with everyone and everything. She’s been walking since 10 months and while it’s tiring chasing after our energizer bunny, it’s so much fun watching her discover the world!
