The Stella Project– Complete. | Santa Clarita Baby Photographer

OK, now I’m going to cry! These baby plan­ners grad­u­at­ing is so emo­tional for me… yes Stella is a year old! It’s hard to believe how fast it’s gone. If you fol­low my blog you know Stella, I’ve pho­tographed her every month from one week old to now a year. At her new­born ses­sion Stella showed us just how feisty she was, an hour and a half in I don’t think I had taken a sin­gle pic­ture :) Now she’s a lit­tle lady, still full of per­son­al­ity and spunk. Get­ting to pho­to­graph her every month has been an amaz­ing chal­lenge, keep­ing it fresh and dif­fer­ent each time. I’m really proud of what we’ve accom­plished, I’ve never had the plea­sure of fol­low­ing a child so closely before. Stella’s mom and I may have with­drawals when the mid­dle of the month rolls around and we are not pho­tograph­ing her! Don’t worry, Stella will still be around plenty, I think we’re mov­ing to an every three month plan. So here she is, get a cup of cof­fee and sit back and enjoy~

Stella was back for her 11 month pic­tures all ready for her first Christ­mas! We had some fun let­ting her explore the tree. Christ­mas is so mag­i­cal through the eyes of some­one brand new. Next month, I can hardly believe it, Stella will be a year! For now enjoy Stella with some hol­i­day cheer.

Stella was back for her 10 month shots, it’s hard to believe how fast time is fly­ing by! It was a cloudy day verg­ing on rain and I was telling Stella’s mom Cheryl that this is the type of weather I learned to shoot in many, many years ago. While a bright gray sky can be rough for color pho­tog­ra­phy with black and white film in hand it’s per­fec­tion. I almost blogged this ses­sion entirely in black and white but I thought Cheryl would like to see some Christ­mas color. Enjoy :)

So Miss Stella was back for her nine month pic­tures yes­ter­day! When her mom pulled out this deep red dress I squealed, could there be a more per­fect color on this baby? The deep red dress + Stella + my green couch = LOVE!!! Enjoy the sneak peek, much more to come…

Stella was back today for her 8 month pic­tures, can you guess what hol­i­day she is gear­ing up for??? :) Stella’s mom is a graphic designer and I always love to see what she does with the dig­i­tal images she pur­chases! I can hardly wait to see what creeps up for Stella’s first Hal­loween! I guess the big sur­prise will be which cos­tume she actu­ally wears for the big night!

Today Stella was back for her 7 month pic­tures, wow is time fly­ing! Stella was excited to show me some new tricks this month, she’s crawl­ing, pulling up, bounc­ing on her knees, crazy! Stella brought some spe­cial knit toys with her, hand­made by her grandma. Of corse we had to incor­po­rate those. I hope you all all enjoy­ing watch­ing Stella grow as much as I am!

Today Stella was back for her 6 month pho­tos, hard to believe she’s 6 months already… it seems to be going so fast! Stella and her mom and dad brought in some spe­cials peo­ple for this shoot, both grand­mas! I just love extended fam­ily shoots. I think it’s such a trea­sure for chil­dren to have pic­tures with all of the peo­ple that love them as they grow up. Enjoy the sneak peek, much more to come…

The Stella Project #6 | Santa Clarita Baby Photographer

Stella is a very spe­cial baby plan­ner I pho­to­graph every month, new­born, 1,2,3,4 and now 5 months. I so love see­ing Stella every month and get­ting to doc­u­ment her growth and devel­op­ment. Today Stella was back for her 5 month pic­tures. We decided to change it up and get out­side in the beau­ti­ful weather. Stella was so sweet and easy for me today, maybe we need to take her out­side for pic­tures more often! Enjoy the sneak peek, much more to come…

The Stella Project #5 | Santa Clarita Baby Photographer

If you fol­low my blog you know Stella, she comes and sees me every month. This is her 5th shoot: new­born, 1, 2, 3, and now 4 months! I am hav­ing just so much fun watch­ing Stella grow, every month there’s sub­tle changes, I can hardly wait to see what she’ll be up to next month. I have a feel­ing mom and dad won’t be able to get rid of me after her birth­day :) Enjoy the sneak peek guys, much more to come…

The Stella Project #4 | Santa Clarita Baby Photographer

Stella is a baby­plan­ner that I pho­to­graph every month, this week she was back for her three month pic­tures. Usu­ally one and two months are the hard­est ages to pho­to­graph but appar­ently Stella didn’t get the memo, she was much eas­ier at those ages than she was at her new­born or three month ses­sions :) I think Stella just wants to do things her own way and keep us guess­ing, and hey when you are this cute who can com­plain? Enjoy the sneak peek guys, much more to come…
