Sometimes in our profession we witness a union of more than two people. Several AGP couples this year said “I do” and became an official family of three. Today, we continue the 12 Days of Christmas with the children stole the show.
Cayden
Oh my goodness, just look at that grin! Cayden was so excited for his mommy and daddy to get married on their special day. He was so well-behaved while his dad got ready, and plopped right down on his lap to get his shoes tied. But it was when he saw his mommy, that our hearts turned into a puddle. His smile put the sun to shame. You could see that he thought his mom was a princess, and he was so excited for the wedding. But the real show-stopping moment happened when this little ring bearer was so overwhelmed with attention during the ceremony that he ran into the bushes and threw the ring box into the bramble. Thank goodness for grandpas – because Kevin’s father was the only person NOT laughing to hard to chase Cayden down and rescue the rings. Cheers to you for making us giggle, Cayden!
Dominic
Believe it or not, the first of two Dominic’s in this post. Cathleen’s son Dominic was a turning point in her life. It led her back home and to someone who she’d almost given up hope of ever being with. Luke, meanwhile, had patiently waited for her and was eager to love Dominic as well. They quickly became best buddies and as Luke got ready for the ceremony, Dom was there, eating chicken fingers and waiting until the last second to get dressed. In all the excitement and hubbub of the ceremony and family pictures, this sweet lad fell fast asleep the moment his mommy picked him up. Those pouty lips stole our hearts and solidified a place in our memories as one of the sweetest moments ever.
Dominic
Deisy and Andrew’s son is also named Dominic! This precocious toddler was daddy’s shadow as they got ready. And you would never know he wasn’t feeling great that morning! It was nearly impossible to hold him still long enough to button his adorable little vest. He was so curious about everything. Pointing, staring, and looking all around as his parents said their vows and exchanged rings. And when he got his photo taken for the new family formal, suave is the word that comes to mind. We think he should make the cover of baby GQ. Congratulations to you three!
Bonus Babe: Atticus Pray
Many of you know that studio manager and lead shooter Rachel Pray welcomed her second child this summer. Atticus came into the world with a flare of bright red hair that formed a natural mohawk. His sweet chubbiness made our hearts flutter. As he’s grown (he’ll be six months on the 12th!), the sweetest and happiest disposition has emerged. It’s rare to not see him smiling. And, call us biased, but we think he’s pretty darn great. Welcome to the team, Atticus!
