The Roberts Family

I met the Roberts family one year ago.  I captured their first born Liam, when he was just 5 days old (here are those memories).  Now Liam is one.  I am always amazed by how much growth happens in one year.  Babies learn so much:  how to eat, drink, sit up, crawl, walk, & sometimes run, smile, giggle, play with toys, makes messes of all kinds, and they can even learn to babble our names.  New moms & dads learn quite a bit too:  how to live on little sleep, how to change diapers half asleep and in the dark, how to cry & laugh at the same time, how to fed, nurture, swaddle, comfort, and how to get their little person to smile at them.  

Elijah and Nicole were brand new parents when we met.  I mean almost straight out of the hospital new :)  I loved getting to know them and capture their love for each other and their love for God's newest gift to them, Liam.  I was so honored when they invited me back to take Liam's one year photos!  They are wonderful parents.  Elijah and Nicole you are doing so great as a mommy and a daddy.  The evidence is written all over your son's face and his happy demeanor.  He knows you love him tremendously.  He is playful, fun-loving, and such a perfect little combo of the two of you already.

Enjoy your photos and I hope the memories you made this day will be special to you for years to come!    

These were the only tears Liam shed the entire day.  They quickly turned into smiles :)

Thank you again Elijah, Nicole, and Liam. You 3 are special to me!  May God's protection be over your household this next year and may God grant you the wisdom to always stay one step ahead of your sweet son.  He is good!

Our first appointment was rained out limiting us to Liam's bedroom and very low light.  Here is my favorite from that quick photo shoot.  I love the feeling in the image.  Having a little one of your own is such a gift from God.
