Eli is One + Some {One Year & Family}

Not only was this a super fun one-year session, but we also got to incorporate Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle for some great big family shots afterward. Between Eli's little ducklings and the gorgeous weather, doesn't this session just scream Springtime?!

Happy Birthday, Cool Dude! {One Year Portraits}

Although the blazing sun would lead you to think we were completely over dressed in our layers/ sweaters, the weather couldn't be more deceiving. It was freeeezing - especially in the shade, but that didn't stop this one-year-old cutie from sharing many of his adorable smiles with me. What a little trooper he was!!

Mister Smiles!

This little cutie is easily one of the happiest babes I've ever met. All smiles, all of the time. I'm talkin' that light up the room, make other people's cheeks hurt from reciprocating his contagious smiles kind of kiddo. Well, imagine my surprise (and Mom and Dad's!) when he suddenly became camera shy! Boy did he make us work for those smiles, but I'd say it was well worth it. Okay, scroll down and try not to smile - I dare ya!

Of course we had to get a few shots with big sis too!

Puddle Jumpin'!

For those of you in the Pacific Northwest, you're well aware of the very persistent rainy spell we've had the past month or so. So when we woke to yet another day of drizzle, we decided to run with it and embrace the rain in true Seattle style! These (absolutely gorgeous!) girls did great, and clearly had a little fun in the process!
