Very sweet little man! He didn’t even mind when I sat him in the wet grass. And look at this smile!

I belong to a wonderful organization called Operation Love Reunited that provides portraits for the families of deployed military members. Recently, I was thrilled to be able to shoot maternity  portraits for Ashley while her husband served in Iraq. When their sweet baby girl was born, Daddy got to come home for a few weeks to see her and I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing him as well.

This little one wasn’t quite crawling, but once she starts mom and dad better look out because she is ready to go! She has two wonderful older siblings who I can tell she is eager to keep up with. Sitting still is just not part of her plans.

I loved the closeness and caring between the three of them.

And finally, one with mom. Who’s having more fun?

What a work out! This little guy just turned one and he was far too busy and curious to put up with me trying to make him stay in one spot. We let him loose to explore and he just kept going and going and going until he wore himself out.  The results? So many adorable images I had a hard time deciding which ones to share on the blog.
