Meet baby boy “L”, who was so excited he woke up extra early the day of our shoot, and was ready for a nap by the time I arrived. Still, this little guy rallied, and both indoors and out, was game for trying fun new things, like crawling around with no diaper, and braving the chilly high-40s temperatures in a tee-shirt! We didn’t dawdle, but I just LOVE what we got! Here are a few of my favorites.
Little “L” had given me almost 45 minutes at this point (why are all my favorite images from the end of the session recently?), and he was pretty tired.

So, we stripped him down and turned a reluctant baby boy subject into an enthusiastic baby model!
Still, when you’re THAT tired, naptime is just around the corner. While “L” attempted to appropriate Mommy’s favorite necklace, we wrapped things up.
It was wonderful meeting you guys this weekend, B family! And a special surprise — your gallery will be up later this week! Raising a glass to running way ahead of schedule; to caffeine; and to hyper-efficiency.
