It makes me so happy to have clients who bring their little ones to me during their first year of life.  It’s amazing how much they grow in-between each session.  That first year is so amazing.  They learn and do so much!  It’s a very special year and if you are like me, you treasure and record as many memories as possible.

Baby S is cuter than words.  He’s been like that since day one.  I had the absolute treasure of photographing his sweet Mom before he was born and then his newborn and now his 9 months.  I can’t wait for our 1 year photos!  Thank you Kylee & Nick for allowing me to capture his cuteness and his first year of discovery!

So, I never did get around to posting this session, but this guy is to cute to keep all to myself.  This was one of my last sessions before I had Ila.  I was HUGE and I’m sure, very comedic to watch as I’m taking these pictures.

A Funny story came with the session, free of charge!  We were shooting at this abandoned warehouse and I really didn’t think much of the location being a problem until in the middle of the shoot 3 cops come charging out of the warehouse.  They scared me so bad I’m shocked I didn’t go into labor right then!  Apparently it’s not ok to shoot here and they have problems with gangs and drugs, “yeah, scary!”  They let us go after taking pity on me and my big pregnant self.  Although, surprisingly, they did the good cop bad cop routine.  One was all sweet and made us feel all warm and fuzzy while the other one made me want to pee my pants.  Thank goodness we had all the shots needed before they kicked us out.  SO…..this is a location first and last.  Too bad because it really has so much potential, but not enough potential for me to be thrown in jail, as much fun as that sounds!

Thanks Rhett for putting up with a crazy pregnant lady!
