{Nico | One Year Old} Seal Beach + Long Beach Pumpkin Patch | Family Photographer

Back in March I was smitten by a certain little 6 month old, blue eyed baby. Well, I got capture him again in celebration of his first birthday. It was so fun to see how he has grown and changed. The best part of having kids and capturing them on camera, is seeing the world through their eyes. Nico was in total amazement with everything around him (except for me, that is). He loved watching the birds and the other children play on the playground. He loved the feel and taste of sand. The waves crashing and boys skimboarding. It's just such a great reminder to us of the little moments that often go unnoticed.

I had a little giggle while editing this session because there were so many images of Nico's back and him running away from me. It definitely made for a couple of cute shots but I was hoping to capture those cutie blue eyes and his smile. There are definitely some awesome shots of the cutie where he is looking, playing, running, chasing birds, being a little boy...

Nico loves to point!

After the beach, we headed to the Pumpkin Patch for a little seasonal fun.

Nico was totally into the pumpkins...

Mike thought it would make for a cool shot to lay Nico down in a pile of gourds. I totally agreed, but Nico was not having it one bit. Poor guy, look at his little face (I kinda still love this outtake b/c of the things we do to our poor kids for the shot)...
