I am blessed with an amazing family. One of the most amazing set of relationships I have within my family is with my cousins.</p>
<p>In July of 2007 we spent two weeks in Peru involved in Missions and later, vacation. This trip was monumental in our lives and, as it turns out, it was the end before the beginning.</p>
<p>At the end of July, my cousin Spencer and his wife Alli shared with us the news that they were expecting the first addition to their family. It was mere seconds later that Christan and I realized we, too, were expecting. Alli and I shared the months of expectation together almost every single day. &#8220;How are you feeling? What are you registering for? Are you ready?&#8221; It was incredibly special to me to have shared something so intimate with my cousin-friend. There really isn&#8217;t anything quite like being pregnant <em>with</em> someone and here we were, family, about to add two little boys to an incredible mix of love and fun.<br />
<img alt="San Luis Obispo Baby Photographer" src="/blog/images/baby-portraits/baby-portraits-bradley-06.jpg" title="San Luis Obispo Baby Photographer" class="aligncenter" width="915" height="611" /><br />
Bradley just celebrated his first birthday and I was honored that they asked me to come and celebrate the milestone with his 1 Year Photo Session and attend his birthday party where I could capture the cake eating moments. Bradley&#8217;s birthday celebration flashed it all back through my heart on fast forward. Where on earth had the time gone? It felt like seconds ago that both Alli and I were just dreaming of Bradley and Ashton and now, here was this walking, talking little life that was stuffing his face with cake. Seemingly independent and surrounded in endless love, there has been no more dramatic of a bookmark than this baby&#8217;s life. His advancements, his growth, his changes all marking the passing of time in tauntingly shocking ways.<br />

<img alt="San Luis Obispo Baby Photographer" src="/blog/images/baby-portraits/baby-portraits-bradley-02.jpg" title="San Luis Obispo Baby Photographer" class="aligncenter" width="915" height="611" /><br />
Sweet Bradley, a truly gentle, happy, and loving baby boy. You may never know how excited your Momma was in the wait for you but I know. I will remind you in the years to come as you play with Ashton and we spend weeks in the summer together as cousins once again. I&#8217;ll never forget the moment I heard of your coming and I&#8217;ll always remember the moment I first saw you. Happy 1st Birthday, BAM!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" src="/blog/images/baby-portraits/baby-portrait-canon-05.jpg" title="San Luis Obispo Baby Portraits" class="aligncenter" width="915" height="611" /><br />
I remember how badly I wanted to have a baby girl. I was so certain I was having a girl that a boy name wasn&#8217;t even something we had discussed. As my husband prepared himself for the years of gun holding and boy threatening, I dreamed of bows and a guaranteed best friend. Eventually, we found out that baby girl I would have bet my life that I was having was actually a boy. I guess it&#8217;s a good thing I didn&#8217;t bet my life. From the moment our son came into our life, I have been unable to imagine ever having a little girl.</p>
<p>I bet you&#8217;re wondering, &#8220;What does your son have to do with Canon?&#8221; I&#8217;m getting there.</p>
<p>My husband&#8217;s family was once filled with 3 nieces, all the same age and apart by only months. Suddenly that changed and three boys were all born within months of each other and Canon was one of them&#8211;the second one. It appeared that girls were being taken over and the boys were moving in.</p>
<p>Canon is our sweet nephew. Having the chance to pull out the camera and capture his celebratory first year of life was extremely special to me. I often wonder about the relationship that he and Ashton will have as they grow up together. Who will beat up who and the lot that comes with little boys. With only seven weeks between them, we can&#8217;t help but dream of a close bond.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" title="San Luis Obispo Baby Portraits" src="/blog/images/baby-portraits/baby-portrait-canon-06.jpg" alt="San Luis Obispo Baby Portraits" width="915" height="611" /><br />
Canon is the life of the party full of boy roughness and determination. I cannot believe that a year has passed and this little boy, our nephew, is walking and continues on his way to growing up too fast.<br />
<img alt="San Luis Obispo Baby Portraits" src="/blog/images/baby-portraits/baby-portrait-canon-02.jpg" title="San Luis Obispo Baby Portraits" class="aligncenter" width="611" height="915" /><br />

<img class="aligncenter" title="San Luis Obispo Baby Portraits" src="/blog/images/baby-portraits/baby-portrait-canon-08.jpg" alt="San Luis Obispo Baby Portraits" width="611" height="915" /><br />
Sweet Canon, we love you. As you grow, we can only promise to remember the most embarrassing stories and share them at the most prime of moments. Thank you for coming into our life!</p>
