Akron Family Photography | Layla 12 Months | Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens
Happy Birthday, Layla!
You just turned one, but we have gotten the privilege of doing 5 sessions with you this year. It’s given me something to constantly look forward to because I know that in a few short months I will get to see you and your parents again. What a beautiful family to get to spend the year with!
For this session, we narrowly escaped the rain at Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens. Your lovely family was so flexible and that turned out to be for the absolute best. The humidity from the rain in the clouds made all the flowers brighter and greens greener. The slight overcast created a soft gorgeous light that made all that flexibility worth it!
You brought your grandparents with you too and that was extra fun! I really enjoyed hearing all about your day and how delighted you were at the zoo. I’m glad that you got an opportunity to do something extra fun before the session too.
Everyone always looks great for our sessions, but I gotta say that your special “ONE” dress is my favorite. You looked absolutely adorable and the pink embroidery brought the pictures into the gardens altogether. The cake pictures with you by the pond with your reflection also enjoying her cake make me giddy to look back on. Everything from the crown to the gorgeous cake to the magazine-worthy background to the stillness of the water was perfection.
Watching you grow this past year has been a distinct honor. I love photography and I love making editing magic, but making memories with beautiful families like yours is what I treasure most.
You are such a precious little gal and I am thrilled to get to continue to watch you grow.
Love,
Brittany
