Baby boy Benson growing up

My dear friends Abby and Kalib Benson spent sweet time with me as we captured their son growing up. Not too long ago we had their Expecting session, and here lil' Theo is rocking everyone's world with his great big brown eyes and precious giggle and personality. We picked the perfect day too because Georgia's weather turned blistering cold the following day and his little piggies wouldn't take it for sure! Here are several of my favorites from our afternoon together this weekend. Thanks to both of you for allowing me to be your photographer, and friend. Love ya'll!

 

 Ok, so the next few shots are a similar pose, but I've got to share the fun stories behind them so bare with me ...

 I just love this one of Theo lifting his mom's chin toward him. You can tell he simply adores her.

 So, here's the story behind the scenes. As they were sneaking a kiss I was trying to get Theo's attention with a squeaky giraffe in my left hand while I grabbed this shot with my camera in my right hand. Though multi-talented, Theo wasn't interested in me - the wicker texture was much more intriguing, so .....

 Daddy stepped up to the plate and held out his watch to get Theo to look in my direction. After shooting this I realized though there's a story behind the scenes here, what it looks like is Daddy telling his son to hang on the kiss will last just a little longer. This boy cracks me up! The watch won over the wicker!
