Turning one is always a bittersweet moment for parents.  It means you’ve successfully raised your baby for a full year.  This can be the most daunting task!  At the same point it means your baby really isn’t a  baby anymore.  They are learning to if not already walking, eating solid foods, and starting to climb the great mountain of independence.   I can’t believe that it was a year ago I took this little guy’s newborn portraits!

I love that many parents want to mark this momentous occaision with a portrait session.  I especially adore it when parents let their new found toddler get into a smashable treat.  With today’s session I talked one of my long time friends into a session for her little one at the local apple orchard and pumpkin farm.  It just seemed fitting that we’d let our little man get into the world’s best apple cider donuts.  He couldn’t agree more!

Oh yeah – the place that has the world’s best apple cider donuts?  

Boggio’s Orchard & Produce in Granville, IL.

I’m currently on sabbatical attending to my family, but I’d love it if you shared me with your friends!
