What better way to kick off Arden’s birthday week than by sharing some {okay, A LOT} of photos from her 1-year shoot?!
Thank you SO much to the wonderful Aubrey Torrey for letting us drag her out to the woods (in a non-creepy way) at 9 months pregnant…in August…in Houston 🙂 And somehow capturing too many amazing moments to count. She is the best…the best, I tell you!
I adore these pictures for so many reasons. The toothy grin, the slobbery kiss, the serious look, the LOVE. Our sweet & scrumptious little one-year-old, frozen in time.
Now, help me pick some favorites? Pretty please?!
So far I’ve narrowed it down to 40… 😉





































These are absolutely breathtaking!!!! Love every.single.one! I don't know how you'll ever choose your favs! 😉
SO ADORABLE! 🙂 happy birthday week Arden!
These are just absolutely precious, and priceless. You are going to cherish these forever. Arden is such a sweet baby, you can tell by her face. Hold on to every moment with her, soon those legs will sprout and she'll start talking and you will miss every baby moment, I know I do. What a precious family you have.
So precious! I am looking for a pearl necklace like this one for my daughters 6 month picture coming up soon. Where did you find one that I didn't look cheap? It's perfect!

I have no words. All your family photos are always so…um, perfect!? Seriously, does this photographer travel to Kansas? Or can Arden send some of her photogenic vibes Carson's way? For real. These are AMAZING.
