Balloons for a Birthday Boy | Berrien Springs Family Photographer

On Sunday I had the chance to photograph this awesome family of 3! This little guy is turning 2 at the end of October, but last year it was really chilly by the time his birthday rolled around for his 1 year pictures so Mom wanted to try to get them done a little earlier and hopefully catch some mild weather. I was watching the weather like a hawk because and they were calling for it to be chilly. Unfortunately the news got it right and it was brisk that morning- I was disappointed to see frost on the grass when I arrived at the location. It warmed up nicely though and I had so much fun. 2 year olds (or soon to be 2 year olds!) can be tricky so to help make this handsome guy comfortable with my camera and keep his attention, I brought some balloons and an extra special treat- I'm not above bribing a child to get a picture! The balloons were a HIT...and so was that extra special treat. By the time the session was over, I even got a high 5 from Mr. A and his Elmo.  



This little face is going to break a lot of hearts one day!




This is what a mother's love looks like in a photograph!


This was my extra special treat- he was all business with that cupcake!


Who doesn't love Elmo? I wonder what anyone passing by was thinking hearing 3 adults singing the theme to Elmo's World...



Happy Birthday A!
