I was gleefully excited when I got a message from my friend Karen asking me to take pictures of her son’s first birthday. One because I love taking pictures. Two because I got to spend time with friends. Three because it was not only a portrait session but a party, so I got to shoot a little more creatively.

I love the idea of having a professional photographer come in and shoot events. This took the pressure off of Karen from having to make sure she captured every moment and allowed her to enjoy herself a little more!

Here are a few from the day:

The birthday boy.







Jeremiah(Jonathan’s cousin) was so excited about crumbs on the table. 

Awh to be a kid again…

Moment with his grandma.





Most 1 year olds don’t seem to quite know what to do with presents. Jonathan jumped right in!
