Portrait: Caroline – Davis Arboretum – Auburn, Alabama

You know the song, so sing it with me: Sweet Caroline…ba ba baaaaaaa!!!  It couldn’t be more true for this adorable little nugget, who wasn’t even a twinkle in her mom and dad’s eyes back in 2010 when I shot their wedding.  She was celebrating her first birthday, complete with balloons we kept out of sight until late in the day because mom and grandma said they would have her full attention once she saw them.  Little did we know she would have an affinity for biting the balloons and we would all be terrified each time it happened, afraid of her reaction if one of the balloons popped.  Eventually it did happen, but she just jumped a little and looked surprised.  On to the next one, I suppose!
