Happy Birthday Dear Madeline!
Happy Birthday to You!
Okay, I admit, I have a huge lump in my throat just typing that out! I am such a sap! I cannot believe that my sweet little Angel is already one! Where did the past year go? I know, I know… it’s so cliche, but seriously! It honestly feels like just yesterday I was calling my mom in a slight panic to tell her to not dilly-dally on the drive down… that I called Mike and Tara and told them at it was “time”…. Nothing but happy memories of the day that Madeline Jewel Collins entered this world. My nurse was AH-MAZING! For the rest of my life I will always remember Angie – her smile was infectious and her accent made the whole day fun! Madeline pushed it close to not making her entrance before my OB left for Vacation, I think she knew her mama needed Dr. Files to get through it all. I was incredibly blessed that my friend Tara drove all the way down from Conroe to spend almost 10 hours with a camera in front of her face, just to capture such a blessed event. Okay, that lump has turned into tears – they’re flowing… It’s been a long year at some points though… Madeline spent a couple of weeks in Texas Children’s Hospital with weight-loss and failure to thrive. It’s an answered prayer that she’s gained a few more pounds! She finally began to crawl and now she’s showing interested in standing alone!! The last two months of her life have really been crazy, she was just 10 months old when Aiden flooded our home! And now, she’s getting ready to celebrate her first birthday with the staff of Staybridge Suites!
(Her adorable Birthday Outfit came from super-talented Alicia of Uniquely Monogrammed on Etsy!

OMG!!! What a beautiful baby and such a sweet sweet slideshow! I have been so blessed to be a part of little MJ’s life! Hope Sat is great! I hate to miss the party!
So stinkin’ adorable!!!
LOVE THEM ALL!
So cute and she has grown SO much!
Oh my, but she is adorable. What great shots. I love the side by side ones of the year.
These are so cute… your little girl is just beautiful! And I LOOOVE that lamb!
Your husband passed this link to me through VTXOTB….He’s a good guy, your daughter is adorable, and you are an excellent photographer. I do mostly landscapes, but I want to take more people pics…I was astounded by your set ups, arrangements and compositions…..but most of all, your little girl stole my heart.
Congratulations all over the place.

Don’t they grow so fast? She is precious!
Your daughter is sooo gorgeous! So I wanted to tell you that I finally made the switch. I decided to go with Nikon. It is cheaper then the Canon and it looked similar to my olympus! So I am so far happy with my switch. I do have a question for you if you don’t mind me asking. I did a photoshoot and I am having the hardest time getting my skin tones to be accurate. Either too pale or to much red. Any advice for a newbie? Thanks so much for all your beautiful pictures! I love coming over to see your blog. Do you ever take a bad photo!?! I hope your house is done soon too, what a mess!
These are so very sweet! What a big girl! Love the cake photos. The pink is just adorable!
Beautiful little girl! I love them all, but especially the cake portraits!
Oh how precious, congrats to Maddie =) Love the birthday pics and outfit, my lil girl has that some headband! Aren’t they precious?!
