Many of you will recognize this little client. His mommy is my decorator and good friend. It has been a joy being able to photograph his first year.

I ran into a sweet client this morning while at the doctors office with Slaton for his six-year-checkup. We were talking about how fast life seems to be flying by with our kids growing so quickly. I photographed both of her children when they were newborns and they are now two and four. She told me that one time someone told her, “When you have small children, the days are long but the years a short.” Ahh- so true, especially when you have little ones that require so much physical work. Thanks Laura for that great quote of wisdom!
Finn is the third child and the first boy in his family. He is so loved and adored and I think his mommy would be the first to say she is enjoying every moment with him.

Cristina, Finn’s mommy, brought a cake for Finn to bust into and for me to take pictures of. However, we had quite a hard time convincing Finn how yummy that cake would taste. We tried everything and in the end Cristina ended up with the more cake on her than Finn had cake in his mouth!

Do you notice the back of Finn’s hair and that wispy, sun touched hair? Cristina specifically did not cut his hair so we could capture it before the first hair cut. She knows that the first hair cut is often the first step from baby hood into toddler hood! The days are flying….
I leave you with a dirty Finn. He was not nearly as dirty as his momma but dirty none the less.
