Portraits, Children, First Year > May 25, 2011

undefined When I started my Weeds Program last year, I had no idea that there had been a baby boom in the area!  I had a number of gorgeous kids enter my life all within weeks of each other!   I knew this Spring would be bittersweet for a lot of their parents and a lot of our sessions began with, “I cannot believe how fast this year has gone.”  Should I have warned them it only gets faster?!

Little Blake celebrated his first birthday last month and as I predicted at his 9 month session, gave me a run for my money!  I think Blake’s feet were running before he ever hit the ground!  I thought it best to let him run the show and along with his mom and dad, I literally followed where he lead (except of course when he was headed onto the road!).

undefined A quick change before heading to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.  The tears were unexpected…Blake was knee deep in grass and he was mad that he couldn’t run in it ;)

undefined Blakers, I have loved every minute with you!  So sad to see you grow so quickly and yet so glad I’ve been able to watch as you learned to roll, sit, crawl and now run away from me!  Luke and Lauri, he is one special little boy.  Thanks for sharing him with me :)
