You remember this charming little dude from the summer right? Well over the past few months baby S has turned into less of a baby and more of a little boy. Still over the top cute, he is now also incredibly charming and fast! He was keeping on my toes for sure this past weekend while we ran around taking photos at McMennamin’s Kennedy School in NE Portland.  It was great to see the whole family, hear about their amazing trip to Turkey this past fall and just hang out.

Check out a few of my favorite’s so far:

Gah that smile kills me, such a charmer!

he is also very much MOBILE, a fast crawler this one.

and so happy, especially when he has his favorite toy the soccer ball near by.  Boy is going to be the next Beckam no doubt about it.

We had fun with the whole family, clearly he is a very loved little dude.

Don’t forget his BFF grandma! These two were adorable together.

🙂

Have I mentioned his smile is to die for? Such a charmer!

Again with the soccer ball. I think this one might be my favorite of the set. His eyes are just so stunning here.

And one last photo of the entire family. Such lovely people.

Jessica thanks again for meeting up for photos with little S and the whole family. I am so loving watching him grow up in front of the lens! He is just a darling little man! I hope you have a wonderful winter & spring, I look forward to hanging out with you all again this summer. I am sure by then he will be full on running, it will be a fun one for sure.

I have been working with Mr. Charming and his family for a while now. It is always so amazing to see the little ones grow right in front of my lens. Well this last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting up with the family once again to celebrate the little man’s first birthday! I know I say it all the time, but seriously this kid just gets more and more adorable. Keeping me running the whole session and up and down the stairs more than a few times. Really with a smile like his, how could I not love every single moment. 🙂

his new big boy smile kills me, I just wanted to eat him up he is so sweet!

and so big now! walking and running around the house. No more baby crawling for this little man.

he might be on his way to big boy status, but he still has time to love on daddy.

and snuggles for mama too, even if it was just a super quick stop.

so much love here. 🙂

including love for the STAIRS! little man loves to climb the stairs, I just had to get a few of him in action. Buddy is fast too!

and one last photo of the whole family. Love, laughs and more love would really sum it up.

Big boy N happy birthday to you little man! I had an amazing year watching you grow! I can not wait to see you again this summer and see how big you can get! I hope you had lots of messy cake after I left. 🙂

Mama & Dad thanks again for having me in to capture your little man’s first year. It has been a pleasure working with you all, and seeing how the little guy grows. You all are such a lovely family, I look forward to seeing you all for many years to come.
