Leo turns one!

[ Colorado Springs portrait studio ]

Behold Leo on his very first birthday! I’ve been documenting his entire first year, and was so happy to be able to work in his official first birthday portraits on the actual day. It’s only been a few short months but I barely recognized him, he’s grown so much! Leo really went for it with the cake smash — he was covered in frosting by the end. What a cute little guy!



Getting good pictures of this active one-year old was like catching the proverbial lightning in a bottle. Leo definitely made me work for it! Here he is flirting for the camera ;o)



Let the madness begin…



Jackson Pollock would have been proud of Leo’s purple interpretation of his first birthday.


Alas, time to clean off the mess. Leo didn’t seem too bummed about it. Turns out he loves hanging out in the sink as much as he loves purple frosting.
