Every year, we set aside a special moment for just the three of us—Addie’s annual solo studio shoot. It’s our time to pause, reflect, and capture who she is becoming. And this year, at just three years old, she arrived full of sweetness, sass, and sparkle.

She walked into the studio in her little denim dress, sandals, and a sparkling tiara with a confidence that made the photographer raise their eyebrows in awe. Addie is already a fashionista in the making—picking her outfits, posing with flair, and flashing that signature smile that melts hearts.

What makes this shoot extra special is not just her adorable style, but her glowing spirit. She's witty, kind, and incredibly observant. Her eyes seem to hold a world of stories, and her expressive little face brings those stories to life—whether she's smiling sweetly, laughing mid-giggle, or striking a princess pose.

Our Time Capsule Tradition

Each year, this shoot becomes part of a growing time capsule. One day, Addie will look back and see how she's always been her true self—bright, bold, and beautiful inside and out. And I’ll always have these precious images to remember the little moments that make her childhood so magical.

She’s not just growing up—she’s shining brighter with each year. Happy 3rd, my sweet Addie. Keep twirling, keep laughing, and always keep being you.
