This time last year...

As I prepare along with my family for my baby Maya's first birthday party, I think back to this time last year when I was pregnant and a few days away from holding her in my arms.  This had been a very difficult pregnancy during a very cold winter.  I was in constant pain and running around after a 1.5 year old did not help matters.

However, with photography being so important to me, I knew I wanted to document this important time in our lives.  So around this time last year, I got Derek, Nicole and myself all dolled up and we headed off to see my photographer friend Patricia Goya for some portraits.  My makeup was done by the fabulous Justyna Kszton.

Does this count as our official first family portrait with the 4 of us?
Maya, we are so happy you are in our lives.  I love you my darling!
