Austen is turning 1!
I adore this little man. Everytime I see him he is just all smiles. He wasn’t AS smiley at his session because it was 9:30 in the morning…. he must be like me and NOT be a morning person. ;) hehe. But he was still super happy and ready to run 90 mph in every direction. I like these sessions because they keep me on my toes. He’s turning 1 so his mom Melissa (co owner of Paris Baby) wanted to get some pictures done in time for his invite.. which I designed as well! You have to check out his little blazer.. he had a tie but apparently it’s a bit difficult to put a tie on a soon to be 1 year old. ;) Austen is SUCH a cutie and I loved being able to spend the morning with him. :) He was not too much into the cake smashing…. but we got some cute images out of it anyway. :) Here are a few of my faves! Leave this cute little boy some blog love.
He looks like such a little man in his blazer. :)
Check our Austen’s banner his dad made him! Check out more of his work HERE.
(Ignore the WONDERFUL job Melissa and I did of hanging it.) LOL
My fave. :)
A few outtakes… :)
(He was NOT digging the cake… didn’t want it on his hands!!
(He’s telling on mom right now.)
Not sure what face this is but I just wanna squeeze his cheeks!!!!
