Professional Photos

For Jack's first birthday, we decided to get some professional pictures taken. Not that we don't enjoy the monthly photo shoots at home, they were just getting very difficult to do now that he is so mobile. Well, it was still very challenging because he wanted to walk everywhere. (I guess he felt that he needed to show off to everyone at the studio.) He was also fascinated by the backdrop and the props. We didn't get any real pictures of his smile, but that is really ok, since we get plenty of those at home. Instead, we got a few sweet poses from Jack. Here are the results:

This last one is my personal favorite because it really captures the essence of Jack. The photographer was frustrated because she couldn't get Jack to sit up straight in the chair, he just wanted to lean back. He does this all the time at home, even in his highchair; we often can't put the tray on, because he wants to kick back with his feet up in the air. He just looks so relaxed. Can't wait till we take this kid to the beach!
