I have a true admiration for his mommy's vision for documenting his first year of life: newborn, 3 months, this 6 month session (more pics below), and I'm proofing his 9 month session as we speak. We have carefully documented each of these incredible leaps every three months--each session very different from the next--and then we put together a beautiful Heirloom Album for each session. I literally gasped when I went back for his 9 month session a few weeks ago and saw the collection of these albums proudly displayed in the living room.
It.Looks.So.AMAZING.
And I just cannot wait to see all five of them together after we celebrate his 1st Birthday. Can you imagine how much fun it's going to be for their family to sit down together and flip through these albums over the years? I'm jealous. I wish I had the foresight to make something like this for each of my babies.
So, before I go back to his 9 month pics, I'll leave you with some more from his 6 month session:

The very first time I photographed her family, I felt so connected to them. Now that they are a family of 5, we have even more in common. Her house is SO colorful and creatively decorated. *I* want to live there. I so enjoyed the very lifestyle nature of their session. It was totally relaxed, no preconceived ideas, we just did what families do...
...like take a snack break, for instance ;-)
And play airplane and read and tickle and laugh.
See what I mean? Look at those yummy colors!!!
Their backyard was just as magical.
Very much looking forward to seeing these two play in front of a crowd someday. I can say I knew them when ;-)
Sigh. I was there forever that night. I didn't want to leave. We were having such a great time hanging out, playing around, sharing stories, and commiserating about the "joys" of having three kiddos. Erin...I know I've told you this before, but your family is amazing and you and Adam have done such a great job as parents. I admire your easy-going nature (even if you claim it wasn't always so). So glad to have you as a friend, my dear.

Since her newborn session and at 6 months she's had me wrapped around her adorably chubby little baby fingers. But I've become attached to her parents, too...
...and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring their property, where we decided to commemorate her 1 year birthday.
One year of motherhood. And fatherhood...
One full year as a family of three.
They have big plans for this place. Her daddy says he's going to build her a tree house right here.
They are a wonderfully connected couple.
We were packing up and heading to the car when I noticed this scene...
...and then we headed to the house for a few more...
The one at the top w/ her and her daddy...love (be sure to check out Blake's beautiful work.) I'd say parenthood looks good on them and they've done a wonderful job raising a joyful, charming baby girl.

This may very well have been the most active session I've ever
done...and that's saying a lot because there were only two people
involved. I think it very accurately reflects where he is in his life
right now, which is *exactly* what his mommy wanted to capture.
First we
flew planes and skateboarded...
...then we played piano overlooking the city...
...followed by more skateboarding...
...and snuggles from mom.
Then we practiced some edible spelling...
...football...
(I hope he appreciates his spectacular peepers)
...and of course some baseball:
(omg, LOVE the tongue).
More snuggles from mom and then to cap off the evening, a nice bike ride:
Yup. That covers it. We indeed did it all.

He reminds me so much of my middle son and it's been such a pleasure watching this little guy grow up over the years. He and his family are close to my heart.
This family has got some good genes, don't they??? We had so much fun working together and he had the perfect chubby cheeks. I can't wait to see if he's going to have his big sister's amazing hair!
