Elias is growing up quickly and will be a big brother before too much longer. I wanted to take a look back and share some of my favorite images from his sessions. I love seeing how much character this little guy has shown from such a young age. He is such a hoot!

Those tiny little fingers melt my heart. What's not to love? |
As babies do, Elias woke up one day older each and every morning. Soon he was 6 months old. Halfway to his first birthday. Growing like a week and learning to sit up, make silly faces, laugh, stick out his tongue, and of course, chomp on his toes.

Wild little thing. |
Before his parents knew it, he was turning 1. A whole year of growing and changing and learning and loving. Mamas, guard your hearts. Babies grow up.

And of course, after a cake smash comes a bath! |
