Pretty is definitely the first word that comes to mind when I think of this session. This was from way back when it used to rain here. In fact, I think we actually had to reschedule because of rain which was a little risky since they had traveled in from New Mexico. Meg is a VERY busy and VERY talented and now VERY pregnant photographer ;-). I just LOVE her work and I'm so excited to have a new photog to inspire me. We really hit it off and I very much enjoyed working with her. We had actually made plans to get together again in New Mexico this fall, but we have since tabled our RV trip (boooo :-(. I'm so excited to "see" their new baby boy when he makes his arrival! 
I think we all understand just how much children change in their first year of life. And yet going through the images from his earlier days here...
here...
and here...
...you still see "him" in all of the images.

We had a blast at his one year session! It was hot, but thankfully, we started early enough in the morning that we were done before the heat really set in. And we were even fortunate enough to find an incredible patch of green grass (so very rare in this awful drought). Oh, my, he's cute!

Whenever I'm in the shower and she comes in, she says, "Draw a heart for me, Mommy." And so I do. I don't ever want to forget moments like this.
Things you should know about this session:
1. LOVED working in this part of town. It is so rich with color and culture! So happy mom took me up on this idea!
2. We walked. A lot. A whole lot. I'm not good with directions ;-).
3. This little man has got to be the happiest kid on earth! I smiled the whole time while editing his session.

I hope I'm not telling on myself, but truly, this was one of the easiest sessions I've ever had (I guess I've paid my dues in the past). These boys were amazing and their parents were so relaxed and down-to-earth. Driving up to their home, I was getting *really* nervous because the skies were getting dark and there were rumors of bad storms (I guess that tells you how long ago this session was ;-). So when I got there, I told the boys that we were going to have to make it quick. They were absolute ANGELS! Not gonna lie...when I got a little giddy that their grandparents showed up for a few shots (celebrating a BIG anniversary this year). And I'm also not gonna lie about how mom's eyes mesmerized me.
