I had the privilege of working with the dad of this precious one-year-old little girl recently. He wanted to surprise the mother with portraits for her birthday, which was yesterday. He even participated in the promotion and purchased the size 12-month dress I have listed in a post below on August 6, 2009. Here is one with the dress that I suggested. He even got the cake and balloons for the session!

In all my years of photographing children, he has been the first dad to go through all what he did to surprise someone! I thought it was the sweetest thing and I really admire him for that!

Ryan @ 2!

Another adorable 2 year old! Just look at this face. . . he is so precious. Mom couldn't believe I was able to photograph him and capture the images that I did get of him. It is always so rewarding to me when I exceed the parent's expectations!

Bryce at 2!

Here's a fun image from this adorable little boy's 2-year old session.

We had to reschedule to photograph him another day because he was not feeling well at all for his session. It was so cute when he came back the next week . . . he went directly to the tub we originally started with and picked up where we left off. How smart was that for a 2 year old!
