Such a big boy now...

I have had the pleasure of documenting this little fellow's whole first year. I have photographed him five times, from when he was a couple of weeks old to now at a year old.

Watching a little teeny tiny baby grow into a little boy walking around and exploring the world is one of the reasons that I do what I do. I love being able to document that for parents. I know that my four children have absolutely grown up before my eyes. It seems like just yesterday that I had a sweet little boy digging in my pots and pans in the kitchen to what is now an 18 year old man who is a senior in high school, a volunteer firefighter and eligible to vote! I still can't figure out how that happened!

This is a kind of long post because I was reflecting on B's first year and wanted to share a few pics from each of his sessions so that you can see how much he has grown!

Here he is at just a few weeks old...

And then at three months... those blue eyes... Wow!

And then at six months where I captured one of my favorite images...

Then at nine months... 

And now at one year old... such a big boy! Those stunning blue eyes have not changed - if anything they are even more beautiful now and his eyelashes are to die for! I always seem to get some of my most favorite images with this little guy and this session was no exception! He is so full of personality and we had so much fun exploring and playing in the leaves. 

Ashley, thanks so much for allowing me to document this important time for your family. It has been such a pleasure to get to know your little man and an honor to be a part of that! 

I can't wait for you to see the rest of the images!
