I am so thankful that I have walked through the first year of life with all three of the McKelvey boys.  It truly is a huge blessing to have clients that have stuck with me from the very beginning.  However, they have long ago moved from “clients” to now being friends.  All three boys have captured my heart but man oh man…..Ethan has a captivating personality.

He is so sweet, happy and easy going.  It reminds me of my youngest!  It must be something about being the youngest of three boys!  I smiled my way through Ethan’s entire 8 month session.

Ethan looks SO much like his big brother it is a little uncanny!  And the tiny drool on his chin had me swooning.

Apparently Ethan can be a little shy when it comes to strangers.  However, I was there when he was born……so he must have recognized me.

He smiled and charmed his way through the entire session.

I mean seriously.  Does it get much better than this??

He is getting so big!!  He is going to be walking before you know it.

I had to include this picture as well.  I wanted to get a beautiful picture of Becky with her baby boy….and this is what I got.  He decided he wanted to play the game “hang drool”.  Do you remember that game from Jr. High?  Or was it just me?

I love a good ol’ urban session!  Just a cute baby laying in an alley.  No big deal.

I really hated for this session to end and apparently Ethan felt the same way.  Crying pictures really are some of my favorite.  They just look so cute when they are crying!!!

I can’t believe that next time I see this little guy he will be a year old.  How did that happen??  I am always so sad when my baby’s first year clients turn one.   Thankfully we still have a few more months and one more session.  Time needs to slow down (except for time with a three year old—as Becky pointed out earlier this week to me)!!!

See you in a few months sweet Ethan!
