Oh Snappy Days

💙🚀 Houston... we have a ONE YEAR OLD! 🚀💙

How is sweet little Hank already ONE?! It feels like just yesterday we were photographing him as a tiny newborn, and now here he is running around, exploring, and flashing those heart-melting smiles.

This special milestone session took place right in Niky's backyard by the pond, and it couldn't have been a more perfect evening. It was just Hank and Mom this time—no big sisters—which meant Hank soaked up every second of that one-on-one attention. And let us tell you... he was absolutely LOVING it! His giggles, smiles, and sweet little personality were on full display from start to finish.

Mom absolutely nailed the outfit choices, but we have to admit... those classic little OshKosh overalls stole the show! Paired with our vintage red chair and wooden crate, they created the sweetest timeless photos. ❤️

And can we talk about those BIG blue eyes?! 😍 Hank, you completely melted our hearts.

To top it all off, Mom and Dad chose the cutest party theme: "Houston, We Have a One Year Old!" 🚀 We carried that theme right into his cake smash... complete with bright blue frosting. By the end, Hank looked like he had gotten into a wrestling match with a Smurf, and we were all laughing behind the camera! 💙😂

Thank you for letting us capture another milestone for your sweet boy. Watching your family grow has been such an honor, and we can't wait to see what adventures this next year brings for little Hank.

Happy First Birthday, buddy! 🎂💙

Why not get everything done at once?! What's worse for us Mamas trying to get everyone ready for Picture Day---having to get them ready for TWO Picture Days hahaha, so we got everything done at once 😅🥳 In our earlier post, we got to show off some of the photos we snapped of these girlies with their brother for their 2025-2026 figure skating & hockey seasons, but that same day we were able to pack in dance season photos for these little dancing queens too! 🩰👑🎀🎶

I'm already planning for next season with bringing my daughter, Paislee & Niky's daughter, Kinsley along so that we can get buddy photos of our tiny dancers all together 💜❤️🩷💛 Hoping to make a super fun Girls Day out of it because we all know nothing beats a Girls Day, especially with our Minis included 💕📸💅🛍🧋

How fun are these?!?! Time well spent with some of my favorite faces so that we could "freeze" in time their 2025-2026 figure skating & hockey seasons ⏰️❄️🖼⛸️🏒

This Session was one of my FAVORITES to date; Ryker being a gentleman about putting up with individual photos for two sports PLUS some sibling/buddy photos with his camera-loving sisters who had ALL sorts of ideas 😆😆😆, Lennox giddily perfecting every single pose idea we threw at her PLUS coming up with several of her own 😉😉😉, and Payton being willing to model for us whenever M&M bribery was involved PLUS making us giggle nonstop when she tried taking direction from Lennox 🤪🤪🤪

It was honestly a breath of fresh air being able to step out of our norm of family/baby/senior sessions to do these fun sport photos with the kiddos. I'm always in my happy place anytime I get to spend my time with this fam~~~I love these kiddos like my own, so seeing them all take SUCH a shine to these activities had my heart overwhelmed with pride! They were excited to show me some of their moves, strut their stuff in their costumes, and tell us all about some of their favorite memories from this season. I can't wait to print off some of these for my own fridge next to their photos from last year 🥰🥹😍
