Maxton is ONE!

For some crazy idea I decided to go visit my family in Louisville, Ky. It right after my nephew Silas was born.

I don't know what this Florida girl was thinking.

Me in the Ville in February! Are you kidding me?

But I really wanted to meet him and also my sister-in-law (SIL) wanted me to shoot his newborn photos. (You can see some below.)

Anyway, once word got out that I was coming up, I started to book some jobs. But the weather was awful. It was cold, snowing, yuck! My very good friend, Robert Burge, well, I call him Bobby, has an amazing studio space, so, I begged to borrow it for an afternoon. And he said ok!

I had not been in a studio for well over 10 years. I was a bit out of my element. I hope you can't tell, but here are some photos of the Spink family. Their son Maxton just turned one! What a doll. He was so excited to be running around and showing off his new skills. I'm thankful for my SIL's help in keeping him happy and sort of still to capture a few adorable photos.

Here are a few of my favorites!

Lesley had a great idea to make this jumbo cupcake to let Maxton dive into. And dive into he did. He really enjoyed the sweets and it made for such a cute one-year-old photo shoot.

They are such a gorgeous family.

He wasn't like the studio at first, so, I decided to chase him around a bit in the office and you know how babies love stairs!
