Photo Shoot

We thought it'd be fun to get pictures of our family of three before we become four (in 6 1/2 short weeks, or long, we'll see!)! And, we hadn't had professional pictures of Colton taken since he was a chubby 7 month old...he's changed so much!

Here are 7 month pictures from last April.

Lots of baby fat on this boy!

Our sweet friend, Sarah, has started a photography business and hung out with us on a recent Saturday morning and snapped some FABULOUS pictures for us! Check out her photography site at: http://joyfulmoments-photography.blogspot.com/


We met Sarah at a park for our photo shoot...as soon as we got out of the car Colton found a sturdy stick and was ready to explore, and unfortunately was in NO MOOD to slow down for pictures. We tried, and tried, and tried to get him to pose with us. We pulled out snacks, tried to be silly, - the first hour just produced solemn expressions and lots of pictures of his back running on to the next tree stump to explore. Oh, the mind of a 17 month old!


After bribing him with yogurt melts and finding a cool waterfall we finally started getting some smiles - hooray! Here's a few of our favorite pictures. Colton was 17 months old here and will be 18 months old next week - a year and a half - so hard to believe - he's growing up so fast! We love that Sarah was able to capture his smiles and serious looks!

Explorer man

Sarah must have been doing jumping jacks to get Colton to look straight at the camera!

The dangerous act of baby tossing brought about our first set of smiles!

It looks like I'm trying to hide my pregnant belly, but I really wasn't!

Colton LOVES giving kisses, - especially slobbery, open mouth kisses...we love them!

One of my favorites!

I love the gap tooth smile!

I love his excitement here!
