…is turning 1! can’t quite believe it but mighty-max is almost a whole year old. what a beautiful year it’s been for him and his family. maxi-pants has come a long way in just twelve months. take a look at their family blog here to see just how far.

i made the professional decision awhile ago to not blog more than 4 or 5 images per session, for several reasons. however, there are times when it just can’t be helped. so, sit back and enjoy the marathon.

i.love.max.



all that soft, glowy, buttery light combined with squishy baby lips and rosy baby cheeks…perfection.

and the lashes. oh, the lashes.

max is not only the king of the wild things, but the king of silly faces as well.

note the tower of blocks in the first of these two shots, then the happy/guilty smile in the second. getting into mischief of one kind or another.

i’m in love with that face.

“max is soooo big.”

this one’s especially for mom. max, for the most part, takes heavily after his daddy as far as looks go, but in this shot…he’s all mommy.

i’m out.

max, i love you mister. have the very happiest birthday in all the land.
