Pigtails + Pampers: Kate is One! | Mandeville Family Photographer

One of my favorite things about seeing sweet Kate grow throughout this year has been to see the wonder in her parents’ eyes as they soak in every little thing about her that adds beauty to their world.  From the moment I walked into their home for Kate’s newborn session over a year ago, I felt overwhelmingly grateful to document her first year into a beautifully curated time capsule.
