Xavier and his mommy were some of my very first clients when I just started chasing after this photography dream of mine. It has been such a joy watching Xavier grow up, and seeing his personality develop over the years. He is such a character (I mean that in the best way), and always keeps me on my toes! I always take way too many photos during our time together, mostly because he is so expressive, so full of joy, and he's always on the move! Our session a week ago was no different!

I was looking forward to our fall session for weeks! But, the forecast that day was looking ominous. Xavier's mom found a perfect location for us that would allow Xavier's personality to shine through, and where we could take cover if Mother Nature had different plans for our session that day. When we arrived, the skies were cloudy and gray, and there was intermittent rain... that turned into a full downpour right at the end of the our session. The location ended up being perfect, though. It was landscaped beautifully, provided us cover when we needed it, and even offered up some interesting props that Xavier was crazy about! You'll have to check out the photos to see for yourself!

Thank you, Audrey, for trusting me to capture these moments for your incredible family. And thank you, Xavier, for providing me with countless smiles when I photograph you and again when I edit all of the photos from your sessions! I love reliving these moments over and over again when I look through your photos.

I hope you enjoy a few of my favorite photos from our time together.
