All grown up

Well, not completely.. but certainly a big rite of passage! This adorable family has been documenting their little guy's first year with a series of sessions with me, and for the final session they invited me to come to his very first haircut, just hours before his very first birthday party! This is one of my favorite reasons to do the "Year in the Life" plan, we get to go beyond traditional portraits and really capture special moments.

This little man was more than ready, and was as happy as could be as we grabbed a few quick "before" shots of his baby mop.



Once we arrived at the barber shop, he was curious to say the least, both at the man chopping his little wisps off and the paparazzi watching the whole circus.






He was so brave, not a tear to be found! Well, except for his mommy, who was having a hard time watching her baby become a little boy.





Lucky for both of them, he's even cuter now...



Hope you had a Happy Birthday little man! :)
