Meet Elliot! He is a fun little man with a head full of curly hair! As in the past, many families want to get photos of their little boys before they need to chop off their hair for one reason or another. (For many, it’s a few too many lollipops getting stuck…) Of course, the hair grows back, but that first batch of beautiful hair is always the best.

Elliot was so much fun to photograph. It took him a bit to warm up to me, which allowed me to get some fantastic candid/serious shots of him. However, once his mom told me that he loves chasing her around the park and cracks up hysterically, I knew it had to be done. Word to the wise, when running backwards in flip flops on uneven grassy terrain, keep a very solid hold of the camera when you’ve got it down at knee level and firing off shots! Ha.

Elliot’s birthday is coming up in a couple weeks and he’s going to be, you guessed it, two years old! He’s learning to tie his own shoes (see below), put on his own pants, and of course, dress up like a fireman!

Happy 2nd birthday Elliot!
