My camera loves him

My best friend is in town this week which means I had the privilege of capturing some 18 month photos of her little man. The rain held off long enough to even catch a few family pics, which we hadn't counted on.

You may remember this sweet family from here. Sara is actually 7-1/2 months pregnant with #2, though you'd never guess from looking at her. We are SO excited for them.



Little E is just a couple of weeks younger than my Sam.



I adore his gorgeous blue eyes and his sweet grin.



Give me five



I'm gonna get you









I loved Steve's idea of turning the X and O around so you could see them. So fun!



He surprised us by climbing to the top all by himself, the very first time.



The tree shots would have been great had the little guy not decided he doesn't care for trees. I can't wait to try this out with Sam soon (with Dad spotting him of course).



Next, my favorite shot of the day!



Look Mom, no hands!









Thank you for letting me capture your sweet family just as you are, today. Full of optimism for what God has planned for your future.

Now hurry up and move back to Minnesota!

Love you!
