I really can’t believe that it’s been a solid year since Alex’s first birthday! When did time fly by so fast? I see it in my own kids, of course….but it really shows with client’s kiddos.
And now, he’s going to be a big brother! Of course, we have some really fun images of his Mommy’s cute belly…but I just had to show his hysterical bed head that greeted me when I arrived:
We tamed the wild beast, and he was one of the most cooperative two year olds I’ve ever had the pleasure to photograph! Such a doll!
On a sidenote…you guys should have seen how *horrible* I looked this morning at this session! My husband had an early am flight, and didn’t reset the alarm. We all woke up late, and I had two kids to feed, dress, myself to shower and dress, and there was still the drive to preschool for drop-off.
Thankfully, Alex lives about 3 miles from our school…but in the process of dressing, feeding, chasing, and loading the kids up my flatiron died (cue lovely frizzy hair), my makeup disappeared (cue shiny, spotty face from exfoliation this morning), and my favorite top was stained by waffle syrup (cue wrinkled, does-not-make-me-look-skinny green shirt). I was a sight.
Add to that the mud that my kids marched through on the way into school (30 minutes LATE), and the parents that were enjoying their tour of our school..who then had the chance to watch my kids leave muddy footprints as they marched through the front office while hearing about the ‘grace and courtesy’ that our school promotes in it’s students.
It was a proud, shining moment for me.
Thankfully, Alex’s session rocked, and I was able to come home, find my makeup, locate a ponytail holder, and change my shirt…and all was right with the world again!
