I realise there have been a whole lot of couples on my blog recently and an absence of babies. I thought it was time to sort the situation by blogging this rather long, ‘mega-cute-squishy-loveable-dimple-fest’!

You might remember little Hugh on the blog at four months old. Well Hugh has now turned ONE! On Saturday I went up to his house to photograph the big birthday bash. Hugh really knows how to throw a party! I spent alot of the afternoon crawling around in the grass after him and all his chums!  Tough crowd but they are so worth it :) It’s always really lovely to be asked back to photograph a little one again as they grow up.

Yummy cakes made fresh that morning by Candi (Hugh’s mum). Being originally from Arizona, there is American charm in all the details.

Waiting for his guests to arrive…

Time to join the partaaay!!!

I have lots and lots of shots from this angle :)

Small talk :)

And totally gorgeous here.

Not sure what to make of all the attention.

It’s a Hugh thing. Crossing your legs at all times.

Ready to play with new toys but keeping a spoon handy in case someone passes with cake.

Everything must pass the taste test at this age.

Candi loves her photos and the walls were filled with all these great moments and stages from Hugh’s first year.

And if that’s not enough cuteness for you, this oughta do it.

Do smiles get much bigger than this?

Cuddle mum and sleep.
