For the second time this month I went somewhere I have never been! Oklahoma City! My sweet friends Daniel and Ashley Riherd moved there back in June, and I was more than flattered when they offered to fly me out there to take some pictures of their baby girl!

I visited the Riherd family in Cinicinatti back in March and got to meet sweet Aubrey for the first time. We took a ton of photos right around when she was 6 months old, so now that she has celebrated her first birthday, it was time to pay another visit!

I was only in Oklahoma for about 28 hours, but we managed 2 separate photo shoots while I was there!

Its amazing to me how much she has grown! She just has the sweetest little personality!

I genuinely loved every little minute with this girl!

As you can see, she’s got these precious 2 teeth on the bottom and is working on the ones up top as well!

She is little miss independent, so it was a challenge to get some of her sitting still! She is definitely a woman on the move…just like her mama!!

As much as I loved taking photos for them, I even more enjoyed just catching up with old friends. Ashley is one of my dearest friends, and living halfway across the country makes things hard! But not only did I enjoy just catching up, but just observing their life. Ashley and Daniel have been married for a little over six years, and they still act like newlyweds! Its always such a treat to be around them, and makes me very excited about the next phase of my life….having a wonderful, strong marriage and a beautiful baby girl…I am thankful to have them as such a great example!
