Cora and her family met up with me at Yorktown Beach bright and early for a sunrise session a little over a week ago. I saved this blog post in honor of her FIRST BIRTHDAY (which is TODAY!!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CORA!!!!

Kristin and I spoke quite a bit through email about the many different components of Cora’s very special One Year photo shoot! We made a plan, and got the show on the road!

I seriously think doing this session first thing in the morning worked to our advantage, because miss Cora was just going with the flow and up for anything (with that sweet smile on her face… or in her mouth! haha!!)… it was perfect, and we were able to incorporate everything mom & dad wanted! SCORE!! <3

We hit the beach for some family snuggles, then we dusted off the sand and walked to the boardwalk for some cake fun <3

LOVE & HAPPINESS just BEAM off their faces. You can see it in the way they look at one another… This session was filled with laughter and I LOVED IT!
