Last summer I photographed Carson's newborn session (interrupted by a tornado warning- eep!) and last week I returned to the B Family's home in Parma to capture images celebrating his upcoming first birthday. Carson's big sister Kollyns is about to turn 3, and with their birthdays so close together, parents Gina and Allen opted for a combined golf themed party for the two of them. For portraits though, the focus was on Carson as he tried cake for the first time and celebrated his first trip around the sun. Kollyns finally got to enjoy some cake too at the end though, after having to watch her brother eat it without her, and we were sure to get some family portraits as well.

Happy birthday, Carson and Kollyns!
