As many of you remember I had the pleasure of doing a very special maternity session last year for one of Portland’s most loved radio personalities Miss Daria and her cute Husby Dallas. Well over the year, the bump became a darling baby, and now that baby is a whole year old! I have just loved watching him grow, little Xander is such a charmer. Well this past week we celebrated the little dude’s birthday with a photo session, he was hilarious. Talking and telling stories the whole time. We lucked out and grabbed a little sunshine before the rain storm hit. I think he was showing off a bit, but I totally ate it up. Between his big smile and killer eye lashes I know why his Mama & Dad are so in love with him. 🙂
Here are a few of my favorites so far from our session:
Like I said little Xander was telling stories and chatting the whole time.
No shock he has a big personality in this family, they are all so fun.
With Mama Daria, can you tell he loves him some mama.
And of course a few of father & son. Dallas and Xander are so sweet together.
Look who is starting to stand!
Such a sweet boy, look at those eyed they melt me.
Little X is not quite walking yet, but he has the squatting down.
Did I mention that the whole family is fun? Yep they are all fantastic.
this one might be my favorite of Mama & son, there is just no bond like it. I just loved seeing them together, such love.
And one last photo of out wonder boy. He is just so darn handsome!
Daria & Dallas thanks again for hanging out with me and trekking out in the rain. I just loved seeing your little man all big and talkative. He is such a sweet charmer! I hope you like the sneak peek. I will have the whole gallery for you very soon. And of course you know I love to throw down the comment challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this post a wallet brag book is in it for ya. So leave some love people, you know you want to.
