Hey there friends - I've got something fun to share with you today! This one year old portrait session was pretty much the greatest thing ever. I mean, adorable doesn't even begin to cover it.

This little cutie's dad is an air-traffic controller at the Newport News/Williamsburg airport. Mom and Dad both wanted an extra special first birthday session for their handsome little man, and a vintage airplane theme was top priority. We scheduled a session for early fall, near Little Man's first birthday.

Luckily, Dad was to able to arrange some time with a local pilot at his hangar - and with a PT19 no less! How cool is that?! Mom and Dad did all of the session styling and prop creation on their own. I think it is safe to say they nailed it!

Even though I was sick as a dog on the morning we shot, I was excited to see it all come together. Despite the early hour and morning chill, Little Man was a great sport. I had to work quickly so he didn't get too cold, and that hat only stayed on for about 45 seconds, but it was all so worth it! I love how their gallery turned out and they are thrilled.

After the airplane session, we headed over to The Mariner's Museum Park for a few quick family photos before nap time.

By the time we wrapped things up I was ready for a nap too, ha ha. It was such a fun morning though and I'm so happy it all worked out so well.
