Happy Birthday, Gryphon James (Mid Michigan Children's Photographer)

May 11, 2012

Little Gryphon James is such a cutie! I've been working mostly with little girls this spring, so it was nice to have a big boy in the mix. Gryphon is going to be turning 1 year old in just a couple of weeks, so his mom, Nicole, wanted to get his photos done in time for his birthday party. We got him a bunch of balloons and even his own cake to smash in honor of the big day!

Gryphon was a sweet little guy to photograph. He had lots of smiles for me, and even sat still a little bit for the whole thing. While he was not too thrilled about the outfit changes (what baby ever is?), he got through it and we had a great time in the process.

I brought along a little cake, care of Little Pearl Cupcake from down here in Grand Rapids, for Gryphon. I didn't know that Nicole doesn't like messes. And boy, did her son make a mess! It was a great cake smash, but we won't do it again anytime soon, so don't worry, Nicole! Thanks for the whole crew that came along to help out with the photos, and without further ado... enjoy the photos of handsome little Gryphon!

^Awww, thanks Gryphon! He's such a sweetie ;-)

^Such a happy little man.

^Ethan gets a moment in the spotlight, too!

^One of my favorites!


^Gryphon likes to raise up his left foot... not sure why, but he likes it!


^So stinkin' cute! Love it!


^Time for some cake...

^No, Gryphon, you are supposed to EAT it ;-)

^Oh, my...

^Now he's got it!


^Mom is having fits right about now, sorry Nicole!

^Thanks Gryphon, you made my day!
