We had a special weekend: My mom is here visiting us (which is always a treat) and Hunter was baptized on Saturday surrounded by friends and family.
For his birthday (in September), we went out and bought a suit and when he put it on he was suddenly a little man. I had glimpses of a future missionary. We went to the Mesa temple on a Saturday afternoon for a photo shoot and we had so much fun.
Hunter is not a spotlight kid and he doesn’t love being in front of the camera – especially when he’s the only one in the shot. But he knows how much my mama heart loves to photograph him and he was the most willing participant for his baptism photo shoot. No complaining. No whining. Just smiles and a little awkwardness typical of any 8 year model! He’s looking more and more like his father. Lucky guy!
The whole shoot was strikingly familiar to Hallie’s baptism photos. Same location. Different 8-year-old. I’m sure I’ll be back there to shoot another in 2.5 years.
darling!
Hi! I’ve been following you for years and just love your blog, your family, and you! 🙂 Awhile back I thought to myself that I hadn’t seen an email (I subscribed forever ago) from you for awhile and jumped online to realize I’ve been missing out on so much. 🙁 Any ideas of why I’m no longer getting them??
These photos are fantastic. He sounds like a great kid.
He is pretty great. But he’s not a teenager yet…
I think he looks like Paxton a ton!
Someone else just told me that recently, which is fitting because Steve often calls him Paxton!
