Holy cow and Happy Birthday little stallion heart breaker! Looking back at these photos reminds me of that one time I first started stalking you guys. Good memories I tell ya. Well sloan, here's to you buddy, and I hope to stalk you for many years to come. I would get you a one-sie that read "My friends think I'm RAD", but I wouldn't want to step on anyones creative little toes. Stay radical badical.

What a cute little boy!!! He's going to enjoy seeing all of his pictures when he get's older. I know that I did. I have featured you and your pictures for my inspirational Sunday. I scout for photographers that take amazing pictures like you and put them on Sundays for the brides that read my blog. What better way to get ideas, admire great work, and know what kind of shots you want your photographer to do . If you are interested it should be up in about a half hour. Have a great day!
