Xavier at 1 [canberra family photographer]
This little guy had such an impact on me when I first met him about 1 year ago. He reminded me so much of my boys when they were babies. He was just so calm and snuggly, oh he made me cluck sooooo much. I knew he was going to grow into a gorgeous little boy, how could he not with two such fabulous parents. Now Nadia and Cameron are the sort of people who after spending time with them and Xavier you go home and think yep the world is going to be fine when you see that hey are raising the next generation. They just take everything in their stride, so cool, calm and collected and so very devoted to their little man.
When we met up for our session Xavi had only had a 1 hour sleep which when you are 13mths old…that is not much at all BUT you would never have picked it. He was a trouper and my gosh so happy and chatty with the biggest brown eyes and the cheekiest smile. He is certainly going to be beating them off with a stick when he hits his teens. I feel so priviledged to be able to watch him grow and that Nadia and Cameron have trusted me to document this time in their lives. When I first met them Xavier was 11 days old and I got what is still one of my most favourite images to date. So this is Xavi then…..

and this is him now 13 mths old and gorgeous. I could have quite happily taken him home and slotted him into my family….lol.







It was so lovely to catch up with you guys again on Sunday. Xavier is the most gorgeous little boy and I can’t wait to watch him grow into a strapping young lad in the years to come.
