Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad. ~Author Unknown
It’s not often that I get the opportunity to take “Dad and baby” portraits. There is truly something very special about a Dad and his newborn…and this Dad was wonderful to work with! What a charming and elegant pair….don’t they look just alike? Enjoy sweet baby boy “T” and his first “official” portraits.
We spent our summer vacation in Gulf Shores, AL once again this year. Unlike most gulf water I have seen, the beaches there are beautiful with white sands and gorgeous grass…perfect for portraits! This year we were able to take two of my nephews along with us as well as my parents. It made for a houseful, but it was SO much fun..the more, the merrier..lol! I was also able to have a session with them and that made me very happy, in case you haven’t realized it yet….taking pictures tends to do that for me. ;o) I have SO many favorites that I usually put together a slideshow to share with family and friends. You won’t see me or my hubby in this year’s pics..I had too many other people to concentrate on, but I will try for another family portrait next summer. See this year and last year’s slideshows here….use passwords summer2007 or summer2008. Amazing to see how much my kiddos have grown!
