Happy First Birthday Maddox!

Maddox is the first to complete the First Year Babes Collection Program that began with his mom's maternity session posted on this blog in September of 2007. He celebrated his First birthday with a family party of Saturday and had his 1 year photo session on Sunday.

Here he is on his first trike that he got during his birthday celebration

with his blankie

As part of the First Birthday Session, parents have the option to include a cake series of photographs.

As you can see by the following images, a big mess can be made which is why these images are shot with the baby wearing only a diaper and is seated on a large piece of white paper that can be wrapped up and thrown away.

As you can see Maddox had no trouble partaking in the cake. He didn't even hesitate when it was placed in front of him. Mom will have the option of an 8x10 single image or multi image print containing 3 images from the cake series.

I'll be visiting with Maddox and family again in a few months to take more maternity photos as his baby brother or sister is due to arrive in the spring.

Maddox Facts: He had his 9Th haircut just before his party. As you can see from the images below he had a head full of hair from the beginning.

Here are photos from each of Maddox's first year of sessions. Let's just call it

"A year in the life"
