Miss Allie was the first newborn I photographed in Ithaca, when I came out to visit before moving here.

We did all her newborn photos outdoors. She was just a few days old and as sweet as can be.

I got to see her at 3, 6, and 9 months as well as her 1st birthday.

Even after all that time, she is still a little skeptical of me and my camera. It didn’t hurt to bribe her a little bit with sugar.

Happy 1st Birthday, Allie! I really enjoyed photographing your 1st year!
