He is surely going to hate his Aunt Heather for this when he’s older, but…
…I couldn’t resist.
Sorry, buddy. You and all your pudge were just too cute not to photograph this way. I had a vision in my head and I forced you to cooperate. I’m sure I’ll pay for it when taking your photos in future years. You know, when you can run away.
I did this little mini-session with 6-month-old Hunter over the Thanksgiving weekend. He wasn’t in the greatest mood (teething, I think), so I was really pressing my luck with this. In an act of what was clearly retaliation, he did pee all over me during a fussy moment when I tried to comfort him. But it was a sacrifice well worth it in the end. Because I mean, COME ON. I may not have walked away with much to work with, but who cares when you end up with a winner like this? I think it’s one of my favorites ever.
Once he was clearly done being naked, we did a few pics in his cute Christmas jammies. This one turned out cute:
Look! A little smile! (He wasn’t offering much that day.)
We’re going to try to take a few more nice photos of him this weekend, so Kara can give them to her family as Christmas presents. Here’s hoping that this “Santa Baby” won’t hold all this against me. :)

I'm Heather. I'm 33 and have been married to Michael for seven years. Together, we have two beautiful little girls we love more than anything, and a miniature dachshund who drives us crazy. I'm a full-time working mom who has very little time for my own "stuff" these days, like home improvement, cooking/baking, cake decorating, and photography. Despite the team not making the playoffs since 1999, I'm STILL a Buffalo Bills fan, which I think speaks to my loyalty AND sense of humor. I can't wait to pick up the pace with travel again some day... you know, when we're done being ruled by tiny fists. Welcome to my blog.
That is an awesome picture. I’m curious what you had Hunter sitting on, was it a mirror?
I would love to see how you set up some of your pictures that you take. I have a Canon Rebel XSI and I still feel like I have so much to learn to get “semi-professional” photos.
Merry Christmas!
Adorable! I love your photos and am always happy to see them posted.
