Mankato Family Photos | One Year Old Session

I made the trip down to Mankato to visit Zachary just one day after his big birthday bash. We just hung out and let Zachary do all of his favorite things around the house. We made a mess in the kitchen, spreading oats all around. Then we made our way over to the books.

Naturally when we were done playing and reading the books we moved on to light sabers and other toys with big brother Max. I really love photographing kids in their everyday environments doing the things they love to do. These kinds of images mean the most in the future.

I also have to add how much of a little buddy Zachary is. He kept crawling all over me, laughing, and trying to wrestle me. What a cool little dood! =D
