I can’t believe Bruxton is one year old already! I have
enjoyed watching him grow over the last year as I’ve photographed him. I did
the maternity session for his parents, Jen and Adam, and then the newborn pictures
when Bruxton arrived, and it’s just crazy that so much time has flown by and
that this adorable little boy is growing up so fast! His mom and dad wanted to commemorate
his first year with a birthday cake
smash photography session, and we all had a great time together.
Bruxton is such a cutie, and really wasn’t shy with me at
all, which makes being his baby
photographer super easy. I love his toothy little grin! He mostly liked his
cake, and was successful at making a good-sized mess, gradually ending up with
a completely demolished cake and blue frosting all over himself. I think the no
shirt thing was a good call on mom and dad’s part! I’m all for less laundry.
Jen and Adam wanted a fishing and outdoorsy setup for
Bruxton’s one year baby photography
session, so we used my woodland backdrop for most of our photographs, and then
pulled in my little boat and anchor props as well. I think Bruxton’s cutoff overalls
were the perfect choice for the type of setup we were doing, and he looked so
darned cute in them! He reminded me of Huckleberry Finn in that outfit, and I could
just picture him whiling away hot summer afternoons on the river with a fishing
pole in his hand. We even managed to find a Gone Fishing sign to hand around
the little guy’s neck so everyone would know exactly what his plans were. I
have to say, the outdoors theme, along with the occasional sunshine we’ve been
having here in Eugene, is making me antsy for summertime. I’m excited for warm
weather and lazy days. Maybe I’ll take a leaf out of Bruxton’s book and go
fishing too!
We also decided to use my hot air balloon prop since it fit
with our outdoors theme. Bruxton is getting to be such a big boy now I don’t
know how much longer he’ll fit in that basket, but we got some really cute shots
of the little adventurer as he took a quick birthday flight. It was so fun to
see him in his goggles and helmet again, since I remember putting that same thing
on him when he was a newborn. Being a Eugene,
Oregon photographer, it’s so fun to get to know local families and watch
their kids grow.
It was great to see Bruxton and his parents in my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon
again. It brought back some fun memories for me, and little Bruxton was so good
during our session. He’s such a happy, cheerful little guy, and I can
definitely see his personality blossoming. I was glad to see this family doing
so well, and hope they have an amazing summer together exploring the great
outdoors!
