This is Baby T. He turned one last year, and I was privileged to capture his special day. This little guy’s parents wanted to remember the everyday moments that made this time in their lives special. The chubby little toes and the fat rolls. The wispy hair that is never tame. The little hands that are always busy.  The bright eyes that are full of wonderment and curiosity.

That is exactly why I love this image. I feel so full of hope for what is to come when I look at this. Baby T’s nursery decorations come to life, and they could almost fly away as he looks on.

Snuggles with Mom are the best when they are close and smushy.

Dad loves to take walks with Baby T. He’s just learning to walk, and Dad proudly looks on.

The first thing that you may notice of this dapper little boy is his bright smile. Look a little longer, and this image tells the story of how tiny he is. He holds tightly to Mom and Dad, and his whole hand just fits the size of Mom and Dad’s fingers.

The whole family in style! I remember fondly what was said during our image premiere. Mom and Dad said that Baby T is wriggling and wanting to get out of their arms, and Dad said that that’s how he always is! I love when families embrace the beauty of their authentic lives.

Baby T had a cake smash on his first birthday. Oh, what an adventure! Baby T’s face is full on concentration as he touches the cake for the first time.

Little T did not wait long to check out this pretty carrot cake with blue and brown frosting.

Little T was more interested in playing with the cake than eating it!

The cake smash got more and more fun as Little T dug in!

Let’s swish the frosting around on the floor with our hands…

…and with our feet!

The aftermath. Cake destroyed. Baby happy.

Aaah, all clean!

Hanging out with Mom and Dad in bed is the best fun. Lazy weekend mornings with no rush to get anywhere in particular. Just lots of hugs and kisses on the agenda.

The joy of being a baby is to fly!

Thank you to Baby T’s family for the honor of witnessing the beauty of your lives!
