Baby Portrait - Salem, Oregon

This little princess is special in so many ways. Sparkling blue eyes, quick smile, and zeal for life. 

As soon as I met her, I knew I liked her immensely. We had a connection.

It helped that we share a name with a distinctive "y" instead of the normal "i" in the middle. We are cool like that.

Another interesting coincidence is that her mom has the same name as one of my daughters... even the same spelling. 

This meeting was meant to be! 

Allyson is a 1 year old! She's super excited about it.

I love 1 year olds because of the challenge, the adventure, and the cuteness.

I very much enjoyed meeting this special girl and her family. 

Happy first birthday!
