Elias is growing up quickly and will be a big brother before too much longer. I wanted to take a look back and share some of my favorite images from his sessions. I love seeing how much character this little guy has shown from such a young age. He is such a hoot!

A grand adventure was just beginning.

He slept like a champ.

He was so little…. and squishy!

Curled up and sleeping soundly.

He was so tiny!

Cutest rookie ever!

Mom and dad were so in love with their new little guy!

Those tiny little fingers melt my heart. What’s not to love?

 As babies do, Elias woke up one day older each and every morning. Soon he was 6 months old. Halfway to his first birthday. Growing like a week and learning to sit up, make silly faces, laugh, stick out his tongue, and of course, chomp on his toes.

Toes are delicious.

Making new friends wherever he goes.

Spunky!

Happy little cub.

Sometimes he’s serious.

And sometimes he’s silly!

Such a little ham.

Wild little thing.

 Before his parents knew it, he was turning 1. A whole year of growing and changing and learning and loving. Mamas, guard your hearts. Babies grow up.

The rookie is getting big and he’s ready to help!

“Where do you need this hose, chief?”

Farmer Elias is ready to help!

This wild one loves birthday cake.

This year has been such a grand adventure.

“Roar!”

And of course, after a cake smash comes a bath!
