Milton | One Year

I met Rose and her husband Gif through my best friend Meara. The Shulman-Rogers' live three houses up the street from Meara and her husband, Jeff, in Pawtucket, RI. Rose and Meara met in 2009 when they interned together at Hasbro, and have remained close ever since. As a result, I was able to spend time with and get to know Rose and Gif, and then when Meara and Jeff were married in 2014, she asked both Rose and I to be bridesmaids and my friendship with Rose grew even stronger.

Rose and Gif were married in an intimate ceremony with just their families in 2014 and after an adventurous honeymoon in Tokyo, they settled into married life. On November 23rd, 2015, after being in labor for days, Milton Edward Rogers joined their family. To celebrate Milton's first year, Rose and Gif invited me to their home to document their family.

Milton is one of the cutest little guys I know; he is calm, curious and happy, but stingy with his smiles. However, the Saturday afternoon I spent with him, he was full of giggles! We even got Bird, Rose's Boston Terrier and first "baby", to cooperate for a few frames.

Rose and Gif, I absolutely loved documenting your little family, and I'm so grateful that I get to watch little Milton grow up. Happy 1st Birthday, Milton!
