We’ve known Lei and Ron for many years and have been lucky to be part of many of their major life milestones — birthdays, college graduations, their wedding, and now their son’s first birthday party!
Meet Tristan. He just turned one and has a magnetic smile and a contagious laugh. He was such a little trooper throughout this photoshoot. Not only did it rain on his birthday but he was feeling a bit under the weather. Lucky for us, that didn’t stop him from “cheesing” in front of the camera!
This lucky boy had an airplane-themed birthday party and loved it. It’s not so surprising that he loves planes since Ron is in the Air Force and his grandfather is a pilot.
Tristan was all smiles until his mom wouldn’t let him eat a rock. Gosh, mom… hahaha.
This is actually Ron’s jacket from when he was a toddler.
I love the fact it used to be Ron’s and now his son is wearing it.
And who says detail shots are easy? It took me three tries to get the perfect shot (on the right) because this dog kept stealing the hat!
Or maybe I should say that he was helping me rearrange the items?
I may need to hire this little pup to be my assistant for future shots. 🙂
Happy birthday Tristan! May you keep flying high and making your dreams a reality. We know you’ll have all the family and friends to love and support you throughout your many adventures. We can’t wait to see where this world takes you!
