Meet Hayden. He is one of the sweetest kids I’ve ever met. And he’s got quite a personality to match his cuteness! He’s a serious stud, and such a ham in front of the camera. He loves his parents and his dog and hockey and has the best blue eyes. David and I were so privileged to spend the afternoon with him and his parents.

David played a ton of sports in high school, and Coach Dillard, Hayden’s dad was his football coach. They have a pretty special relationship because of a serious injury David fought through while on his team. Its been cool to see them keep in touch since David graduated over 5 years ago. While David caught up with his coach and stayed on dog duty during the afternoon, I got to get to know Hayden’s mom Sherry a bit better. She’s so fun and so sweet! I know where Hayden gets his sweetness now :] Hope you enjoy Hayden’s portraits and a couple family shots snuck in there!

He seriously loves his parents! Its the best!

AH! Love his laugh!

He was having a GREAT time with those leaves.

These next few are my favorites.

Just like his dad.

so sweet.

He did this all on his own.

Along with the left shot.

Hope you enjoyed! Thank you Coach Dillard and Sherry for letting us spend the afternoon with you!

(sidenote: happy 4 years of dating to my wonderful husband who I hope to continue to date forever :])
