This past week I had the pleasure of meeting Eli and his mom, Trisha, at Homer Lake for a session commemorating his 2nd birthday. I had never been to Homer Lake before; it is a really beautiful place. I saw lots of trails for walking/running and it seems to be a pretty popular place to fish. They've recently added a really nice kids' area that is perfect for little ones. Eli loves water! Like, really, really loves it! It was hard to get him away from the water but for a 2-year old on the go, he did amazingly well. He is just so sweet and completely adorable. Even though it was humid and the bugs were eating me up, I had a great time capturing Eli's personality!

I know Trisha didn't want his hands in his mouth but I love his face here! |
