Happy Birthday Xavier!? It took his mama and I several attempts before we finally got this little guy’s shoot scheduled but I am so glad that I got to do his 12 month pictures.? Love at first sight!?? That picture on the left just steals my heart right from my chest.
Tanner’s favorite shot is the one on the bottom right.? He wanted me to give his ball back.?? Don’t you just want to kiss this little guy?
I have decided that I LOVE to include parents in baby shoots even when we are not doing a “family” session.? Parents make great props.? :)? If you are thinking of booking a baby shoot, come prepared because chances are I will want to use you.? You are baby’s favorite prop so baby will often express the most with mom and dad.? Don’t believe it?? Check out the next four pictures.
Xavier loves him some ticklin’.
Jim’s favorite goes to the top shot here.?? Jim and I just sat here giggling at that shot.? He looks so darling anxiously waiting for someone to toss his red ball back to him.?? I wanted to take him home with me for sure.
While Tanner and I were waiting on Xavier’s family, Tanner was doing what 10 year olds do and was exploring the terrain.? When he asked me to run over with my camera because he had found a HUGE lizard, I didn’t find myself especially motivated.? Was I glad I listened to him though because HOLY COW he wasn’t kidding!? What is this?? A chuckawalla maybe?? The sucker was truly huge.? I wish you could see perspective better but it really was BIG.

Sadie would say that she really wished she had been with you on this shoot because she would have caught that lizard and brought him home to live with us…hmmm, somehow I don’t think her dad would go for that!! She is always catching things in the backyard, but no lizards this BIG!!! I can’t wait to show her in the morning!! Xavier is such a sweet pea and he lights up with mom & dad!! Love them!!
Beautiful, as always but my favs are of a particular red head at the bottom of the post 🙂 He is so cute 🙂
Love the top shot too!!!!!!! He’s like, “What are you gonna do, cuz I’m gonna run!!!”
Sweet lizard – good job Tanner 🙂
Absolutely fantastic, as all your work is ,I totally agree that baby just steals your heart ! Love the pics of your son at the end “he is growing” .
It is a spinney tree lizzard. very colorful blue belly. They like to bite and not let go but they are harmless. very little teeth. Tanner can catch one around the house if he wants to.
Oh my goodness this shoot was adorable! That little guy just captures your heart, and I agree – his parents made great “props!” He was certainly in love with his mama and daddy 🙂
the tunnel shot is my fav too… soooo cute.
lizard- seth will love that!
and tanner… when did he grow up? OH MY GOODNESS!
