luke. be still my heart.

a wee bit of wisdom courtesy of oliver:

"do you know what pockets are made for?... pockets are for keeping rocks safe."

i was reminded of this fun wisdom when i shot sweet luke's one year portraits.
he was definitely trying to stow away some rocks for safe keeping.

luke was a rockstar for his photo session. seriously.

and that face. oh that face. i am so in love.

you will be too:

see luke's newborn photos (here).

happy first birthday sweet baby boy!
