It's impossible to believe that a year ago this very month, I was in the lovely home of Kristin and Chad, meeting them for the first time to take newbie pics of their little princess, Madison. Since then, I've worked with the family what seems like every other month. Watching Madison grow up from a tiny newborn cuddling with the Italian Nana, to an almost walking and definitely talking one year old has been bittersweet. In traditional Kristin fashion, she brought over a truck load of amazing props. As she and The Chad were unloading the back of their SUV, they looked like FAO Schwarz delivery persons. My kids were so excited ... and so was I! Up at 5 a.m., and already with a two hour nap under her belt, Miss Madison Paige rocked the camera. And just as things started to take a tearful turn, Kristin whipped out The Cake, and all was right in Madison's world. Kristin and Chad, it's been an amazing year! Thank you, so very much, for allowing haute shot to be a part of so many milestone's in Madison's life. Thank you for an amazing session, and bring on The Sample Sale, K!
