I am not sure it can get any cuter than this. A sweet, one year old who loves to smile for the camera in a gold crown fit for a queen?!

I hadn’t seen this sweet princess since she was just a few days old at her newborn session last year. So, getting to see her all dolled up for her 1 year old session was so much fun!

What I love most about keeping sessions lifestyle based is giving, children especially, the opportunity to be themselves. I love to let them do their thing with light guidance.

We did this sweet session at the gorgeous Missouri Botanical Gardens. This location is definitely a favorite of mine all year round. Even if all of the flowers aren’t in bloom at the time, it’s still a stunner.
