With the last day of summer (September 22nd) right around the corner, I wanted to celebrate the closing of a wonderfully warm season and bring in the busy fall with some darling baby boy pictures in the park.
Today is Bennie’s birthday – he is one year old. I first met little Bennie when he was still in his mommy’s belly (who was one of the cutest pregnant ladies I’ve ever seen). Then I got to see him again for his newborn session, and, most recently, he completely rocked my world with his celebrity smile and baby blue eyes.

Mom killed it with her on-trend outfits: denim on denim, bright lipstick, lace shorts and strappy metallic sandals. Plus, her name is Jill, so we’re pretty much sisters, right?

Giggles in the grass. One of my favorite shots.

That smile. It’s KILLS me. Oh my goodness.

Yay, Bennie! You are such a handsome stud. Happy Birthday!
