The weekend before Liam turned one, our wedding photographers, The Caldwells, took pictures of our family at Mr. TTT’s parents’ ranch. This is also where we were married, and the twig arch that Mr. TTT and his dad built still stands in our ceremony location where we exchanged vows almost four years ago.

Here we are in the same spot at our wedding in May 2009. Seems like just yesterday!

Anjula and Andrew are an incredible team and worked hard to get these beautiful shots. While one snapped pictures, the other sang, danced, bounced, and yelled to get Liam to smile. They kept saying he was easy to work with, but because this was his first time meeting them, it did take some time to get him to warm up.

My dress is from Asos (it’s no longer available, but this one is similar), Mr. TTT’s shirt is from Old Navy, Liam’s green pants are from Babies R Us, yellow striped onsie from Old Navy, and his jacket (a hand me down) and moccasins are from Gap.

I wanted the first look to feel bright and fun, which I think it definitely does. I can’t wait to order prints and display them in our home!

After we changed and took a little break, we got in some snuggles…

and Liam got thrown around a bit. He loves being a little bit scared – the things that make him laugh the most are when we make loud noises, when he goes down a slide, when Mr. TTT throws him up in the air, or when we pretend to chase him.

For the second look, I went with more calming colors. My cardigan is from Target, Liam’s shirt and pants are from Old Navy, as is Mr. TTT’s shirt.

This face kills me.

The whole family together! Trust me, the dogs did not sit nicely like this the whole time. For this shot, we had the photographers working with Liam and Mr. TTT’s mom holding treats up for the dogs. It was quite a circus, but so worth it!

My boys! Heart: exploding.

I’m so glad we scheduled this photoshoot and I hope we can do it again in the future as our family grows.
