I had elaborate plans for Stephen’s one year old photo. Balloons, outfits, the park, perfect lighting. It was going to be magnificent. But today, I realized if I wanted to stick with these big plans, I was never actually going to get the photo done. So I grabbed some leftover material for a backdrop, put him in something clean, moved some furniture out of the way, and did an impromptu shoot right in the dining room. And I’m glad I didn’t try to make a bigger thing than it needed to be, because most of the photo shoot looked like this:
If I had spent a ton of time and energy on this project, only to have him cry the whole time, I would’ve been really annoyed and frustrated. But we took our time and he got some emotional support from Elmo.
Then with a little luck and some peek-a-boo, I was able to get one smile – out of like 100 pictures. So here we have it. Stevie’s One Year Photo. {Drum roll please}
TA-DAAAAAA!!!!

The picture you got is AWESOME!
I say they are PERFECT! I can’t believe he’s 1…well almost 13 months, but who’s counting. We love you Stevie McQueenie! You have made this world more wonderful!
