I love when I get to see my couples after their weddings, but especially when it’s because their family has grown! Over two years ago I shot Melissa + John‘s wedding portraits on the Bronx River Pathway. We returned to shoot their daughter’s, Isabella’s, Bronx River first birthday portraits at the same exact spot.

Isabella was really excited about her leaf : )

Look at the big girl standing all by herself!

Melissa brought a bunch of different props for me to use which really personalized the session.

Oh the black and white shot on the right is one of my favorites!

Love this shot.

Haha oh that face!

This was the exact bridge where Melissa + John took their wedding pictures.

Isabella is such a Daddy’s girl, it’s so cute. He’s great at wiping away her tears : )

Cute little family!

Did you know walking around with your tongue sticking out helps with balance? Hahaha just kidding! But it’s a good look for Isabella : )

Happy 1st birthday Isabella!
