Oh man, was this session a treat! I remember photographing this little guy when he was just days old and gasping when I walked in and saw his shock of gorgeous red hair. One year later I was pleasantly surprised by his hair again but this time it was the curls. Oh the curls!!!
Growing up my sister always talked about wanting red-headed babies. I hope she’s not reading this…she’s a mother of a (gorgeous!) blondie and this amazing red hair just might be too much for her to bear.
As I was scoping out the nursery where we’d be shooting I spotted this set of unopened blocks and asked if we could use them. Our little man was waaaay interested in them…although I think his mom might be cursing me now. He just wanted to throw them! At me, at her, at the window, wherever! But, seriously, how much FUN is it to throw blocks? SO fun. (I’ll confess to throwing a few myself).
He stopped long enough for me to get this.
And this. (See where he gets that beautiful hair?)
This one touches me deep in my mama heart…
I have to end on that one. ‘Cause there’s nothing that can top a warm baby snuggle.
Nothing.
Are those the most gorgeous blue peepers or what? Holy big eyes, Batman! 
Then she started posing and the fun really began… 
Weird Erin confession: I have this thing about smelling the people in my family. I like to snuggle and sniff them and smell their warm, lovable familiarness. Am I alone?
