Ayden’s 4th Birthday

Time passes so quickly.  It seems like just the other day I met this beautiful family, taking pictures for Ayden’s birthday a couple of years ago.  He is growing up, still tries to get away from me when I try to capture him with the camera, but I catch him at play and at rest.

I think my most favorite picture of the day was when he looked up at me and my camera, with this huge grin, as everyone around him sang happy birthday.  I think, in that moment, I could not have captured a happier kid, a blessed kid, a kid who was having the time of his life.

What makes this gathering special are the people – the welcoming smiles and the fact that I can make them laugh, although sometimes I still get the random questioning stare.  There are those more outgoing than others, yet I love to photograph each and every one of them.

So thank you for letting me come back to Ayden’s party – I loved every minute…

Make sure you check out the gallery 🙂  There are a ton more pictures.
