A Day in the Life shoot of a mobile, curious, one-year-old? Yes, please! Lifestyle shoots like these are my favorites, especially with independent toddlers who just want to play and explore!
When I discussed with his mother which direction we wanted to go for her one-year-old’s photo session, we decided to capture her son just as he is at this moment. We wanted to capture her little boy’s typical morning at home, no posing, all natural, candid moments from breakfast to nap time.
First up, breakfast! Two thumbs up from Baby Boy at that idea! “Mmmm! What yummy foods are you bringing me next?”


Look at that yoghurt smeared face and those beautiful, blue eyes

Those pursed lips as he determinedly works to grasp a carrot!

And he got it!

He loves to feed his mom! Lots of giggles going on here!

All finished with breakfast and ready to explore!

One of his favorite things to do right now is to play in the refrigerator. Open door, close door, open door, remove food, close door, open door, . . . Sound familiar to any other moms out there?


After the kibosh was put on his refrigerator play, we settled down in the family room for some playtime and book reading.

Baby toes! The sweetest!

What a reader he is! He sat there happily looking at book after book. I love to see that!



The books are even more fascinating when read upside down. ; )

Pre-nap snuggles with Daddy. How sweet is this father with his baby son?



Then time to wind down for his nap. Naturally, more book reading is necessary. Look at his tiny tummy! So cute!


He is so in love with his beautiful mama. He just stared at her as he drank his bottle.


Tears of tiredness.

And . . . he’s out! And sleeping soundly enough for me to sneak back in and grab a few photos of him snoozing. His sleeping position cracks me up. Babies can often sleep in the funniest positions. I don’t think I would be comfortable like that, but he certainly was!
