I was so excited when I was asked to shoot a one year old and his family. This is another one of those scrapbook connections, and it was so great to meet this little guy (and his dad) and to see his mom again.

I promised a sneak peek on Sat night…and if I hit submit on this post in the next 20 minutes, I think I’ll still make it. So I won’t waste time with lots of chit chat. I know that Mom and Dad just want to get a look at some of the pics!

Beach1-webbeach3Bridge1I was giddy when I heard that they were bringing this car…it is fabulous and the driver is pretty darn cute too….

Car-WebI brought along my antique high chair and a cupcake to celebrate the big birthday…I thought we might get some smashing shots, but he was more of a mustache guy.

Meet the adorable Mr. Mateo that I had the privilege of photographing recently. In keeping with my newborn record, he didn’t sleep much…I’m seriously starting to think that sleepy pliable newborns are a myth. No matter, because this boy was handsome and for the most part happy during our whole time together.

I was seriously giddy (once I got over my nerves) when mom told me that she had a guitar that was incredibly important to her Flamenco fanatic husband and a mantilla veil that had been her great grandmother’s in Cuba. “Something special to represent each of us” she told me. Like I said, nervous…but giddy.

We of course had to take some shots on the old scale. He was so mellow up there, I couldn’t believe it.
