It feels like just last week that I visited good friends to help them capture the arrival of their second little one, Knox.  And while I love all the families I work with, this bunch is extra special for me to visit as I’ve been photographing them and Knox’s mom’s sister’s family (confused yet?) for over two years now.  I can’t believe how much has changed even just since the last time we did photos.. and the time before that…

And I felt that passage of time once again when I revisited baby Knox and his family once he was three months old.  We waited for a nice day out and got together at the park for playtime and more pics.  And I think while he looks a lot like his big brother, I think Knox looks SO much like his mom already (as she says, ‘finally!’ :)).

Anyway here are but some of my favorites of our afternoon together.  Congrats again G family on baby #2 and I can’t wait to come back in no time for when he’s 6 months old! XO

above left: at first I skipped over this picture because I caught a distracting car in the behind.  And then I realized that the car wasn’t so distracting and rather a pretty good fit alongside a boy running around and just being a boy lol

above: we joked that Knox looked like a little Grover in his ADORABLE bright blue Patagonia fleece.  I’m almost tempted to buy one of these in hopes that one day I have a baby boy to dress up in it 🙂

above: I just loved how relaxed Knox looked as he enjoyed a bottle snack.  His sweet lips are what inspired me to pull my camera back out from my bag for a shot, even though we had already finished the session.
