Proud parents, Traci and Andy, do nothing by halves. Why should any parent when it comes to a first birthday photos, but these two especially love props, fun outfits and themes. Their son, Holden, has been a client of ours since birth (his mom sets his appointments; she’s so organized like that), and like his parents, we love pulling out the stops for each of his sessions.

dreams of flight ….

For his first birthday, the theme was nautical. Blues and oranges, whales and anchors. And that little jumper with the anchor on it? Good Lord. It’s a classic. Mothers everywhere would swoon over such a throwback.

Holden is a big flirt. According to his Mom, he turns on the charm in front of ladies and knows how to draw in a crowd at church. People love to spoil him rotten. He was a smiling new baby, just days old in front of our lens (see photo above), a grinning 6 month old and he continues to up the ante at 1. It’s always been easy to get a grin out of him. So, child photographer’s dream?? Definitely.
Like most boys, Holden enjoyed smashing his cake more than tasting it. He was messy and mobile, cracking up and clambering around every set up.

Here’s to many, many more, Little Man!
