my two hour workout....

well at least that's what i called it
~
my kids are old enough now
that i have completely forgotten how fast a newly walking one year old is
and
when walking got in his way
crawling at lightning speed took over and he became a blur
whizzing past me over and over again.
am i complaining
~
not for one second. i love my job. i love babies.
and
portrait photography makes me happier than just about anything anymore
do you remember this little guy
from his earlier photo shoots with me
?
and
and

wow
~
how did a year of him growing up
go by so fast
he's even typing out his own christmas letters
~
kids are so advanced these days
happy 1st birthday
baby H
~
and
thanks A
for trusting me again to document your baby's first year

  24. Oh my gosh...he is adorable!!!
    It really is a workout, isn't it? But the best kind of workout...one where you don't even know you are working so hard because you are having so much fun being in the moment....I love that cameras have the ability to do that...put us right smack dab in the moment.
