What a Difference a Year Makes! | Ballwin Baby Photographer

I met this lil’ one just a bit over a year ago and I’m always amazed to see how much she’s changed each time I see her. She just graduated from the Baby’s First Year Program and it’s been such a treat to be a part of her milestones throughout this past year. I still can’t believe how tiny she was when I first met her and these pictures are just more proof of how much she’s grown into a lil’ lady. Childhood is such a miracle and that first year is probably the most amazing – those first moments here in this world, sleepy curly infant stages, getting their neck strength with tummy time, sitting up without assistance, crawling, exploring, standing, those first steps, and then those first words (I had the opportunity to hear this beauty talk for the first time tonight!!!). What a difference a year makes! I’m so glad we took these bed portraits at each of her four sessions so we could see her progression! Congrats Miss Ella! You’ve turned into quite the lil’ lady!

One Year Old Portrait Session

Some bonds deserve to be remembered forever. 

When planning portrait sessions, I always encourage families to include the animals that hold such a special place in their hearts. They are part of your story too. 

This sweet girl adores her beloved horse and says he is “the most gentle, loving horse” she has ever known. Watching the two of them together was pure magic. The quiet connection, trust, and love between them is something worth documenting and cherishing for generations.

A quiet field, wildflowers in bloom, and that golden hour glow…the perfect setting to document this once-in-a-lifetime season before she headed to UGA.

These are the moments you’ll always want to remember.

Such an honor photographing this sweet girl for her sitting milestone session this morning. A true dream baby—full of smiles and the softest little coos.

We captured moments in the studio and then stepped outside into this beautiful spring light. This bassinet felt perfectly fitting for both her milestone and the season.

These first-year milestones pass in a blink… but they are the moments you’ll treasure forever.

What started as a few messages between strangers turned into something so much more. Two sisters, two new friends… and a leap of faith that became a home.

Now, they’re not just roommates - they’re chosen family. A place filled with laughter, support, comfort, and the kind of connection that defines a freshman year.

The sweetest beginning to friendships that will last a lifetime.

When I asked this little girl where her favorite spots are on her home property, she mentioned the peonies out front. They were in full bloom and her little hands couldn’t resist them as she showed me some of her most beloved flowers. 

At sessions, I  always encourage incorporating the things your children love most into your portraits. These details may feel small now, but they become part of their story - their season, their wonder, their childhood. The result? Images that feel personal, meaningful, and timeless.
