My Super Adorable Nephew | Baby Nate

Little Ryan Photo Shoot

I had such an awesome time photo shooting my little nephew. The weather was perfect and we had the entire baseball field to ourselves!

We found out the way to get Ryan to smile was by waving to him. That's why you'll see quite a few pictures where he's waving at the camera.

Here are some of my favorites from the photo shoot:
