Take a look at Max.  At one year old, he might be short in stature, but he's huge on personality.  I got to hang out with this little guy and his mom Dallas and dad Chris at their home recently, and I'm not sure I've met a little guy with so much personality before.  He was happy, pensive, intrigued, inquisitive, affectionate, annoyed, playful, tired, intrepid, adventurous and energetic... all in the span of about 90 minutes.  We had a blast and can't wait to see Max and his mom & dad again in the fall for an outdoor session.  I need to start workin' out now so I'll be able to keep up with him. Here's a few of my favorites from our play time together. How killer are those eyes?

Daddy is a... trampoline!

This little guy's got some skills.  Stlll not sure how he gets up that high on his toes.

I love the look on his face below.

Max loves his momma...

... and his dad.

For a little change of scenery, we headed out doors into the back yard, ordered up some H20, and let Max do his thing.  I was a little hesitant going out in the mid-day sun with temps in the upper 90's, but I think we got some awesome images... some of my favorites from the afternoon.

Max loves to dance and play in the sprinklers.

This is probably one of my favorite images from the entire summer.  Can't decide whether Max reminds me more of an Olympic gymnast or Rocky in this image.

Cracks me up how he's just chillin' in the image below on the right.

This is also a serious contender for my favorite image of the summer.  I love how Max is imitating his dad, Chris, here.  This is a timeless father-son moment, and it kinda makes me think of a Norman Rockwell scene.

And finally, this series cracks me up.  I think Chris was peek-a-boo'ing, and Max was trying to see where his dad went.

Thanks, Chris, Dallas & Max for an awesome afternoon!  See you again in November!
