Abby & Dillon have relied on us to photograph their family for many years – from the moment it was created by their wedding vows – up to this turn-of-the-decade when their darling babe celebrated his first year of life. And to be there with them to mark the importance of this time and the incredible consistency (and yet, the growth) of their love and choice in family is an honor. Their baby Theo was adorable as a newborn and irresistibly sweet at a few months old, but as a 1 year old he’s clearly coming into his own. He loves his dog and to test out walking, but he loves his mama and dada most. He looks good in sweaters and caps, often matches his parents’ impeccable style, but most of all his big blue eyes will stun an onlooker into staring. And so, on a winter day in quiet pine forest Theo and family went for a walk with me, their dog and a lot of love. We meandered by the lake at Bishop’s Bay and tried out some new walking skills. Theo laughed and mom & dad melted into his cuddles. It was simple and safe and all together the loveliest way to spend a winter day.
