Jacob at 1 - Milwaukee Children's Photographer

Oh, Jacob - I can't believe its been a year already! It seems like just yesterday your Daddy emailed about buying a milestone package as a surprise for your mommy (before you were even born!). And here we are a whole year, and 3 sessions later. You've grown from the little munchkin we made don Elvis glasses into your own little person with crazy whispy hair, amazing blue eyes and a personality all your own.

Jacob's 1 year session started what was a seemingly crazy week of crabby blonde haired, blue-eyed boys. I had one reschedule, because it just wasn't vibing well, a 6 month old who we had to shoot quickly, in between his fits of unconsolable crying, and Jacob - who, though relatively happy, did not really want to show it.

I had to pull out some big guns for Jacob's session, including getting down on his level (no easy task at 8 months prego) and playing peek-a-boo thru crib railing. He was pretty happy though, when we brought out the fantastic cake his daddy had made for the end of his session - he ate almost the entire thing. It was unbelievable.

Happy 1st Birthday, Jacob!

We broke out some snacks as bribes (which I was in charge of) - this is Jacob signing "more", which he did over and over and over again :)

The boy loves his blankie

Peek-a-boo!

Daddy made this bookshelf - so we've incorporated it in all of our sessions

I just think this is hilarious - he looks disgusted...

... clearly, he got over his "disgust"
