Yesterday, my (Stephanie) son, Jasper, turns one year old. You might remember his three month and six month sessions, and if so, probably also remember that we’re definitely more interested in the quirkier side of family photography! So we met up with Ashley and went to two places–a plant nursery and a park–and had a lovely afternoon, if I do say so myself.

Being a mother is an experience that has profoundly shaped and changed me. I absolutely love my role as a mom, and love my little man to bits. SO: thank you to everyone who has, and does, love him deeply.

Ashley took several absolutely wonderful photos of us, and I wanted to share two that I think are particularly sweet:

I (Ashley) wanted to say a little something about our Smallest White Rabbit:

Jasper, watching you grow and learn over these past 365 days has been nothing short phenomenal. You greet the days with wonder and excitement and allow everyone you come in contact with a glimpse of that wonderment. I’m thrilled to be able to know you Kalois and even more ecstatic to become closer as we all grow as friends, and as a business. So congrats Jasper on your first year of life on this planet and I hope you continue to shine on like the happy sunshiney sweet smiley special Smoosh that you are! And to all of the Kalois – thanks for always being so inspirational! xoxo
