Hands down the best part of our work as photographers is being able to document lives as they change – often through the addition of family members. I first met this family at Retzer Nature Center when baby Mya was still in her mama’s belly. Among the standing pines and at their home, I got to know this couple and their already fierce love for the baby girl they were preparing to bring into their world. Fast forward to this September and she is the center of their universe and the best part of each day. A sturdy little stander and friend to Audi her fur sibling, Mya is happy and cuddly and literally everything an almost-toddler should be. So with great joy we returned to Retzer to celebrate her 1st full trip around the sun. Happy 1st year Mya!
