i love when i meet someone and after talking to them you realize that you know some of the same people and go to some of the same places.  i’ve known this mom for a few years through mutual friends, but she also knows my husbands’ family.  i also recently found out that we like to vacation in the same michigan resort town. such a small world…  when she asked me to photograph her little guy, who just turned one, i was thrilled!  he is such a cutie – pretty serious, but we managed to catch a few smiles!

But, ssssshhh, don’t tell dad – these photos are a surprise!!
