Nolan is turning one year old | Phoenix West Valley Baby Photographer

This cutie shares the same name as my little guy and they're only weeks apart! We first met when the babies were a month or two old. As with every time anyone contacts me, I was over the top ecstatic to capture this Nolan. He has the most gorgeous eyes that in the right light, just shimmer with radiant shades of blues and almost crystal. Can we say heartbreaker??

We had a fun morning reading books, playing, and listening to Black Eyed Peas. Yep, you heard me! Nolan just lit up with smiles and the best dance moves when his dad put some jams on. I even found myself dancing a bit amongst the olive trees.

Towards the end, Nolan was ready for his morning nap, but I managed to get a few more smiles out of him in his fun birthday shirt. And we ended the session on the swing reading a book his grandma got him when he was born. And yes, Nolan, you were "fearfully and wonderfully made."

Happy first birthday, Nolan. You are going to have such a great year this year learning so many new things and words. And with those, gorgeous blue eyes, you are going to get to see such amazing things in this world. Soak it all in. Thank you for spending some time with me!

Lucky Nolan is O-N-E!
