Jared was back for one year pictures!  That year flew by. I did his newborn and 6 month pictures and he is a joy every time….this time especially.  I have NEVER seen a 1 year old stand in one place for so long.  We tried to get him to move and he just grinned at us.  Not what you expect out of a one year old.  I usually have sweat dripping by the time I am done with a session like this but Jared made it easy on me!

This one is my favorite!

He has the cutest facial expressions.  He wouldn’t ever do the one where he wrinkles up his nose like I was hoping for but he is cuter than a button!

I love the 2 bottom teeth hanging out all by themselves!  Ahh I remember when that is what Izzie looked like…they grow up so fast.

His blue eyes are awesome with the blue in the background. 

And this picture is funny to me because there is a story behind it.  I got out this blue chair and this blue birthday hat and I was so excited about using them all together because they just looked so good.  I tried to put the hat on Jared and he immediately took it off.  He had his birthday party the day before and they had party hats.  He snapped himself really hard and apparently it was traumatic because he knew he didn’t want that hat anywhere near his head…in fact he didn’t want that hat at all.  This was taken right before he threw it on the floor.  He wanted nothing to do with it!  So I giggle when I see the look on his face in this one.

I’ve been wanting to use this sled for a long time too and he was the perfect kid to use it with because I knew he would stay put.

This was the end of the session and he was tired so even though there is a big crocodile tear running down his face on this one…I really love it!  It’s a moment that doesn’t get captured very much because we are always going for the smiles.  He is just so sweet…

Thanks Justin and Steph.  I had a great time with you as always and your little boy is adorable!!!
