It was just a few short weeks ago I was photographing a beautiful belly adorned with henna, now I am back to show off the even more beautiful result!
Meet Michael, he is nothing short of adorable. A sweet little guy, that of course did not want to sleep for me, but was quit chill in front of the camera.
Clearly he is very comfortable in the arms of his beautiful mama.
Oh that sweet face, and those beautiful eyes.
After a little bit of playing and a bit more milk from mama he crashed out for us. I love that little milk mouth.
Check out his hat, great right! Terrie got it in her travels to Peru, it fit him perfectly.
His teeny tiny hands were moving the whole session, I had to capture them at rest when I could. 🙂
I also love capturing the little baby bits. Oh those lips!
We also had to break out the tie-die. Micheal’s parents are frequent visitors of the country fair, and his daddy his a big love of all things tie tied.
I love the contrast of the sleeping baby and the bright colors. 🙂
Once he was out he was SO good for me. 
He even had some time in Daddy’s arms. 
And of course we had to get a few of the whole family. We had more planned, but about 2 seconds after this one was taken little dude peed all over Mommy & Daddy. Just to make sure we all knew who was in charge clearly. 
just before the spray, I got a few more of mother and son. I have to admit these are always my favorite. I just LOVE how this one turned out. His sweet little face just soaking up some love from his mama. Terrie you two are so beautiful together. 🙂
Terrie and Patrick thanks for having me back into your home. I just adored spending time with your little guy, he really is perfection. I hope you like your sneak peek. I will have the whole gallery up for you soon! And of course I would love to throw down a blog challenge for you all. If you can get 25 people to comment on this blog post I will throw in a couple darling little wallet brag books for you. They tend to work well when showing off a certain little guy. 🙂

Terrie,
Wow, he’s beautiful!!! Great pictures. They brought tears to my eyes. Congratulations to all 3 of you.
Those are adorable pictures. The baby is so cute in his birthday suit he should never wear clothes! I can’t believe the tatooed tummy. Does Emily use some camera trick like transposing the design from the tee shirt onto the belly picture?It is really awesome.
Best wishes,
Cherry McGrady
I keep coming back and looking again. So precious!
