After several days in a row of rain last week, the sun finally came out for us again, so of course we had to take full advantage! After all, turning one year is without question a very big deal! And so it was that I met this adorable little guy and his wonderful family at a beautiful San Francisco Bay Area Park – this one in the East Bay.

Despite the chill in the air, he was more than ready to give us plenty of big smiles and all sorts of cute expressions in-between and the results….? Absolutely beautiful! Have a look at a few highlights from the session. I say a few because I really could have shown so many more! Thank you so much M family for an amazing afternoon and enjoy your sneak peek!

This one’s one of my faves – he has such a wonderful expression. You’ll see plenty of smiles to come, but sometimes its a look like this that stops you in your tracks…

There’s that smile!One of my favorite mother/son images ever!Big brother and sister are quite photogenic too – looks like a model shoot!He really loves to wave and show that big grin, doesn’t he! These images really capture his playful spirit!Then he showed us his super adorable sincere side!Everybody put your hands in the air!Gotta love those baby blues…! And I absolutely LOVE this look – looks like a magazine cover!Mom and dad wanted a few couple photographs too, so we headed for the hills… literally! I love this one because their expressions look so natural and candid as they try to avoid going for a tumble down the hill…!Forgot a few I meant to add… This one is just too funny not to show! Yes, after just a few minutes, it became clear that he “owned” that crate!
