Little Maya

I adore this family. I have such a great time every time I see them and they are just genuinely wonderful people. I can't believe how much Maya has grown since I saw her last year, you have to check out last years shoot.

Maya has the most amazing eyes I have ever seen.

We recreated a couple shots we took last time to show how much she has grown over the past year. I love comparing these shots.

One more.

Maya's bed has transitioned into a big girl bed. She was allowed and actually instructed to jump on her bed just for me. I don't think she minded at all.

So this image is so sweet, Maya was having fun jumping on the bed and putting necklaces on her rocker dog when she came over and sat in my lap. She was very interested to see some of the images I had just taken of her jumping on the bed. It was such a sweet moment for me.

She got dressed in her new fancy dress for this year and we headed outside to get some more "formal" photos.

Isn't she adorable, she is waving at everyone walking by.

Such a beautiful family.

When I first arrived at the house Katria told me that of course Maya didn't get up at her usual time of 8 a.m. but instead 6 a.m. and she was getting a little tired. George and Katria did a great job of doing all the things Maya loves to do to keep her moving and happy. But when Maya gets tired she starts to play with her hair, pulling a little strand through her fingers. It is too adorable for words. By the time our session was over she was ready for bed and went to lie down with no instruction. She is such a good girl. You can see her playing with her hair in this image while reading a book before her nap. I know I keep saying it, but its too darn adorable.
