Oliver & Family at Discovery World

Oh how I love young families – families with babies and toddlers and stuffed animals and big hearts. This family, though, is one of the special ones I’ve been honored to photograph many times from engagement session to newborn sessions and all the sweet milestones in between. And on this day our delightful reunion was made all the more happy by the fact that Oliver – health challenged, feeding tube and body cast newborn Oliver – is now running, laughing, keep up with sister Charlotte Oliver. With the bluest eyes that look smart beyond their months and the cheekiest cheeks, Oliver is a bubbly little guy who loves to snuggle and play and oh how he loves to run that way, and over there and to see that and back into mama’s arms. Also special to me is that we did this session in and around the Discovery World concourse where I photographed mom and dad’s wedding ceremony. And so we hid from the wind and played on the deck boards to celebrate Oliver and his growth. We chatted about how great Oliver and Charlotte are both doing in this crazy world and we talked about how time flies. Happy One Year Oliver. You are loved.
