sam: happy birthday!

my little friend sam has been a regular on this blog for an entire year. i started photographing him when he was just a few weeks old, and have had the absolute pleasure of documenting all of his major milestones and sharing them here on the blog (just type "sam" in the search field to see all of his cuteness). 

this past weekend, we celebrated sam and his most recent accomplishment - turning 1! 

it took him a while to warm up to a house full of people, but he managed all right. :)

here are sam's parents and aunt watching the slideshow of our photo sessions over the past year - it was adorable hearing them talk about how much he's changed over the months...

these really don't have anything to do with his party, but i've never seen such teeny little toms before, and felt they needed to be shared. :)

to my sweet friends, sam's parents, thank you so much for letting me photograph your little dude this year... it has been such a joy to watch him grow - congrats on making it through year one! :)
