Di Sciascio photography » Photography by Alessandro and Lisette Di Sciascio

What an amazing little boy! Gavin is about the same age as our own smallest one, Marco and he’s every bit as adorable. It was SOO much fun taking these photos documenting how cool he was already at just one year old. In fact I think he’s set the bar pretty high for his future self… now we’re all going to expect him to live up to the “hype”

We started off the session with his two brothers, Aiden and Logan… who are actually featured in one of our World Cup series potraits we haven’t posted yet… the three are a handful I’m sure, but they are incredibly adorable.

As you may have noticed in the first shot above, I decided to take this in a different direction than most one year old sessions you see out there.  My thinking was… how cool would an adorable one year old look if we shot him using the techniques usually reserved for Seniors and models?

I hope looking at the other photos that follow you’ll agree that the result was pretty epic!

Thank you Kristin for trusting us with documenting this special moment in your little one’s life.

Oh yeah… all the images are on the proof site follow the link and then head to the portraits section.

Yesterday morning was one of those simple days like any other when something happened that I’ll remember forever. For the first time since they were born, my children and I carved a pumpkin for Halloween.

There will be many other pumpkins and they will be special in their own way, but the sound of their little voices “those strings are disgusting!” “eww it stinks a lot” will echo through my memories for decades to come. I didn’t photograph the carving of the pumpkin … when I don’t have someone else there available to do it for me I prefer to live the moment rather than photograph it (which is why I no longer bring cameras to friends and family’s weddings when I’m there as a guest).

I knew I wanted what I call a “personal bookmark photo” … something that is hopefully beautiful in and of itself but that also has the magical power of unleashing wonderful memories that are not shown in the photos.

Here are my personal bookmarks:

From our family to yours have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Just a quick business note… those of you who have contacted us about scheduling your year end family portrait session… if you’re hoping to be able to get holiday cards in time to send them, time is of the essence to schedule your sessions  … especially if you’re only available on the weekends for the photography session!

Oh and a word of advice.. don’t leave a one and a half year old unsupervised with your jack-o-lantern… he may attempt to eat it whole
