Happy Birthday to One Smiley Guy!

Boys+1 year sessions typically equal a fair amount of chaos (especially when they're exploring all the newfound freedoms that walking brings), but Mason must have been in the mood to break all the rules! He was all laughs and smiles and barely took his eyes off me during our session. Now that I think about it I probably should have been more self-conscious! Thanks for making my job easy, Mason...and happy birthday!!

I love how Mason took a break to check out his and mommy's shadows :)

Oh boy! My week of newborns: Kamden

I had three newborn shoots last week, so the theory that I'm officially over the baby bug myself was sure to be tested! The verdict: my husband can relax...while I love, love, love these precious little guys, I can hand them back to Mom and Dad at the end of a session with minimal resistance on my part. Meet the adorable mr. Kamden. He was the first of my newborn sessions last week. A handsome little guy with some fantastic facial expressions! Thanks for going easy on me, Kamden!

My session with Milo epitomizes my philosophy on any session with a two year old boy...let them do their thing and just try to keep up! If they're happy, I'm happy, and on our little outdoor adventure I think Milo was very happy. I wish I had as much awe and enthusiasm as this boy! There was excitement at every turn. But if I was a two year old boy surrounded by heavy equipment I guess I'd be pretty excited, too. Our first stop was inside the bucket of a giant bulldozer (I think). Lucky Milo, the bucket was full of water. Water boots were a very smart choice by mom!

On goes the helmet for some hockey shots...

Ringing in the New Year with Mason!

Mason was all smiles when I arrived at his house for our session, making my white knuckle drive on some icy, icy roads well worth it. He is one happy (and mobile!) little guy that I had the pleasure of chasing around for an afternoon. Here are some of the highlights...
One of Mason's favorite passtimes...You can't beat tippy toes and butt cheeks!
