Brayden's 1 Year!!!

It's been one jam packed wedding season and a while since I have shot a first birthday session so I was thrilled when Hope called me and asked if I was available for Brayden's! We discussed some simple open grassy areas and finally decided on Memorial Park ( I love the grass there!). Little Brayden was the entertainment that afternoon. He got looks from all around and just soaked up the attention. Before we even started shooting he already had us all rolling in laughter and my mouth hurt from smiling and laughing so much!
He was just a joy- always laughing and smiling with his mommy and daddy, even through outfit changes, hats and new positions...but he drew the line at taking his candy...until it was replaced with his birthday cupcake that Aunt Tiff brought :)
Wow- I can not say enough just how much fun this was...just take a look at the images and it will give you a little idea :)

This little series was so cute- he was hamming it up for mommy and daddy!
I went on a little shopping adventure to find something with the #1 that was unique and fun. Well, after searching I found nothing so... I made my own :) As I was leaving the store there was a front end candy display with the biggest lollipops ever! I knew it was perfect so I used some rainbow twizzlers to make the #1 and viola...the sweetest prop ever!!!Though the #1 did not last long...I think Brayden was pretty impressed and very satisfied :)I could not resist these last few shots...he was a mess and thank goodness there was a little water spicket near by...still smiling and playing, Brayden had even more fun in the water- and even got a little refreshing drink after all that sugar!!!
Thank you Hope, Bub and Brayden for letting me capture these wonderful memories- can't wait until next time! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAYDEN!!!
