Birthday Week Day 2: Picture People Part Two

As part of James' birthday celebration, we decided to meet up with Erica of Elevee Photography again to take some one-year-old shots of the little man.  We first met Erica back in October for James' 7 month photos at the Sully Plantation.  It was a chilly day made even chillier by James' sullen face.  For 2 hours, Ed and I jumped around like idiots trying to make him smile but we got nothing.  He cracked one smile and luckily, Erica captured it (thank God!).

Because Erica is a mom and a sweetheart, she offered to do another session with us for a fraction of the cost so that we can get some smiley photos.  We took her up on that offer this past Sunday.  It was a morning shoot so James was fresh and happy when we arrived at her beautiful home studio.  James was playful and jolly and a smiling machine!  Erica got some great shots - which we have yet to see other than these 2 teasers she posted on her Facebook page:

We are SOOOOO excited to see the rest because if they are anything like these, then we will have lots of walls in the house filled with this face. :)
