A Birthday and a Graduation

Whenever gift certificates are given, I am always excited to hear from the recipients. I had been anxiously waiting to hear from this family, (they were given a gift certificate as a baby gift) and with Jack was turning one, mom Katie contacted me to schedule their session. I love photographing milestones and a first birthday is always a special time to capture and remember for forever. On the way to their house I actually missed where I was supposed to turn, but stumbled across a little spot that would be perfect for their session. The light was so pretty, and luckily Katie and dad Nishant were game. Katie mentioned they had lots of pictures of Jack, but were excited for some images with all three of them. We focused primarily on their little family, but I couldn't resist some shots of their handsome boy. I'm such a sucker for big, beautiful, dark brown eyes. It was such a special time for this family with lots to celebrate. In addition to Jack turning one, both Katie and Nishant just finished medical school. The evening of our session was the actual day of Nishant's graduation. Everyone was all dressed up and looking great for the festivities. Little Jack was adorable in his pink shorts. Nishant's parents were in town for the celebration as well, so they were able to be in some shots, and it was obvious just how much they all love their little Jack. It was a bit of a whirlwind session with such a big night ahead of them, but with the perfect place to shoot and a beautiful family, it ended up being pretty special.
