Happy Bday Noah!

On February 27, 2008 tthis young boy weighed 6 lbs. 8 oz. He is definitely a fighter as he triumphed through his condition. Noah's middle name is Ho'oulupono, which means to inspire righteousness in Hawaiian. He's an inspiration to us all! Now isn't his looks to die for:):):) He is seriously one handsome baby boy! Noah's bday theme is Noah's Ark and so the boat Matt found in the toy room was perfect for Noah's pictures. I learned alot in working with Noah and his parents...As much as I had prepared for this, I learned that with babies you must give them something to do in order to capture natural expressions, and not forced smiles. The minute we tried to make Noah laugh or smile for a certain picture he wasn't too happy (like the one where he is crying because we were trying to get a family pix with him smiling), but when we were able to let him be with a toy or just mere movement, that is where the magic occurred! Noah is definitely going to drive girls wild with that killer smile! Good thing he is only 1 yrs old:) Namele and Matt were the best parents and although they knew I was new to this, they were troopers! All I can say is, thank you for trusting me to take Noah's pictures. I hope you enjoy them!
