Way back in April 2012, I met Claire and Bill in the springtime, for their engagement session. If you want a serious blast-from-the-past moment, you can check it out on my old archived blog, here. But, fast forward five springtimes later, and I was shooting another portrait session with them — and this time, also with their little man who was about to celebrate turning one whole year old.

You guys. We had so much fun. There were so many baby smirks, and so much wobbly trying-to-walk, and as a former bald baby myself, I’m kind of partial to kiddos who rock barely-there hair.  That light though…Florida was showing off just a little bit that evening, and it couldn’t have been more beautiful!
This next one was when he was clearly thinking, “Mom, Dad, you’re posing all wrong! Let me show you how it’s done.”
Really, this kid had all the facial expressions and comedic timing of a standup veteran!
And he also knew how to ham it up for the perfect family portrait.
I can’t say enough good things about this family! Except — let’s not wait five years until we do it again, okay?!
