Maxwell - 1 Year

Well, I am FINALLY blogging images from my little man's 1 year session. I know, I know the poor little guy's birthday was in July and I am way behind on putting up his images. I have to admit, despite what you see, Maxwell has to be one of my toughest subjects. It was one thing to get him healthy (Max has been fighting many little bugs all summer long) but it was a whole another obstacle to get him happy and to stay happy. It seems that all my usual tricks I use on little ones just don't cut it with Maxwell. Then again, its just mom behind the camera!

As with any one year old, Max ran the session and of course kept dad and mom running too (so much fun when you have a camera and reflector in hand)! I am so grateful I have a patient husband who loves the phrase "just one more photo". So after 15 minutes of swarming mosquitos, Max picking and trying to eat weeds, running around and throwing his hat over the bridge I called it quits. Much to my surpise this is what I got (okay I did edit a quite a few out)...

Thought I would also share some fun shots from Max's birthday party....enjoying his cake.
