Hadley is One! | Lantern Tree Photography | Indianapolis Newborn Photography



How can this little angel already be turning one? Rumor has it that she's now even walking. On her own. All around her house. How can it be?

It feels like yesterday that we were attending baby showers, guessing names, and eagerly rushing to Fort Wayne, waiting to hear that my niece was FINALLY here! 

And now she's ONE, friends. A cute, sweet, wide-blue-eyed, dainty little thing that's wrapped around my brother's finger and surely will be my daughter's BFF once Delaney realizes she's not a doll! My, how time flies. 

So on to Hadley's one-year photo session.

I think all photographers struggle to find the perfect location for special shoots like this one (Downtown Carmel? Coxhall Gardens? Southeastway Park? Somewhere else in Indy? AAH, none seemed right!) In the end, we finally (and ironically) decided to just run down the road a few miles to Beckenholdt Park. And boy, am I thanking the Lord for that decision! It turned out to be the most serene little place for Miss All-Grown-Up-Now Hadley to pose and play for the camera. Let's all just take a peek at how Hadley's Big Girl Session turned out:











My niece is beautiful, no?? 

So next we needed to find the perfect cake smash location. 

Sigh.

So again, we stuck close to home. Well, scratch that. We just stayed home! With a little help from my old friend, Mr. Backdrop Stand, moonlighting as Mr. Frame Hanger, we arranged for some fun frame action right in front of the woods behind my home. Who needs fancy backdrops and locations when you have your own backyard and funky frames?!? Lesson learned.



It goes to show, I suppose, that we all can find beauty in the things we see almost every day! Of course, it certainly helps when your gorgeous niece stops by to visit and smile for the camera.
