I was laughing out loud last night as I edited these images—this little man had me in stitches with his expressions! He looks just like a little man… and have you ever seen better eye brows on a baby? This one is going to grow up sharp witted and handsome. Watch out, ladies!

Jack with his mom, Becky.

This is a candid image of Jack with his cousin, Brayden. I love that it looks like they are having a serious conversation…

I know little Jack because he is my friend, Anne’s nephew. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting all of Anne’s sisters at one point or another but never all at the same time, and with their babies! I had to snag a family pic! Aren’t they gorgeous?

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a first birthday shoot! I love these sessions…. there is nothing easier in my opinion, than photographing young children who are still not “conscious” of having their portrait taken. They don’t pose, and they have so many cute little expressions. As long as Mom and Dad are cool with the photos being more of a “day in the life of” portrait, then the shoot is a sure thing. Today I had the opportunity to document Adrienne’s first year photos along with her big sister, Ryan. Ryan was a riot, as you can see by the images below and was also great to document, but in a completely different manner. These little girls are sweet, sweet sisters who clearly love each other. I hope I get to document these little ladies for years to come!

I think Adrienne is going to be a little scholar and care-taker… I love this series of images of her playing by herself with her books and her stuffed animals. Adrienne may be an introvert, like me!
