Miia turns ONE.

0 comments

Between the job relocation and move back overseas to London, Phi and Juha was able to throw a 1st birthday bash for baby Miia. Aside from pictures, this will be the first time I get to see and meet the cutie. Here are some photos of the cutie on her big day.

Disney Fairies theme birthday party. Am I disclosing too much to say I like the Tinkerbell movie and awaiting part two later this month? c38873b873

Here is the little fairy herself.

Kids don't like looking at the camera. That's good, because I love capturing little kids as they are. There's just a certain focused look they all have...e4925f3e48

These are the moments I aim to capture.98033b34ca

But I do capture the traditional, look at the camera photos as well. But I like it done my way. For example....

Phi said Miia does this only during bed time. Very acrobatic this little one.b880129153


Happy Birthday Miia, we feel sadden that we won't get to see much of you as you move overseas. Which means it's even more important to get you in front of uncle's camera to document your growth beyond year one each time you come back to visit.

You can view the rest of the photos here. Access code is the family's last name.

Time doesn't stop-stopping Time...

Besides cheering you up with their antics and cute smiles...kids are a reminder that time marches on and each new day should be cherish. Looking through Terrence's closet this morning, I found an outfit that he received a long time ago but never got a chance to wear.

So before he outgrows it, on him it goes and some quick snaps in the studio and outside for remembrance sake. You know...just in case I find myself in the distance future...packing away the outfit into a box and wondering at what point in time, he could have fit into an outfit that small. Because time doesn't stop, unless you have a snapshot of it.

So proper...but with a casual side.bb49751960

Stand there and smile is hard for a little boy to do, but ask him to jump...and it's all smiles.59b4f25d2e

The question was, "where is daddy?" I am not entirely sure he's pointing at me.11ceb7762c
