one year old nicolas!

Photobucket
My friend Nancy stopped by to get some photos with her adorable son Nicolas who is almost 1! Being a photographer herself, she has tons of amazing photos of Nicolas, but not many with them together as she is always the one behind the camera. So we hit the park and lake and got tons of shots of the two of them. Nicolas helped make my job easy as he is such a happy little guy and always has a huge grin on- what a cutie!
