I stopped over to meet handsome Baby Grady on a brisk Saturday morning at his home in Columbia, SC. You may remember his parents when I shot Mom’s maternity portraits a few months ago.

Grady and I hit it off famously. I know I couldn’t stop staring at his adorable little face, and his bright blue eyes, and his little perfect nose, and his squishy little baby lips…. etc. 🙂

He flashed me a few smiles from the safety of Mom’s arms to let me know he was ready for his closeup. What struck me about Grady is that only at 7 weeks old, he is SO aware! He focused on everything I did, made eye contact with me the whole time, and really worked it for the camera! His proud dad calls it “situational awareness.” Love it!!!

Why, hello there, handsome!!!!

 

How precious is this little guy?

I couldn’t stop staring at him, either. 🙂

 

 

He LOVES his dad. It was so much fun watching them make the same faces together. 🙂
Look at how comfortable and happy he is with his mommy – such a beautiful sight.

Look at those eyes! Future Heartbreaker!

Look at how he focuses on his dad’s face!

 

Some closeup details of this little guy: Perfect thick, long eyelashes.

Itty Bitty Ear:

Look at those smushy lips! They melted my heart!

He was born with this FULL head of auburn hair.

I love baby footsies!

Look at that little face! So hilarious! Grady – you’ve got my heart already.

When Grady gets older, he is going to treasure these photos together with his parents holding him. You can see the love and adoration in their eyes. I can feel their love through the photo!

I think the picture below is my favorite :

Grady’s nursery was GORGEOUS. I love the mix of soft green and yellow. It was so peaceful and serene in there!

I thought the photo below was such a cute little outtake:
