A few weeks ago, my sister in law Andrea reached out to me and asked if I would do the traditional southern photos of Aris in a field of bluebonnets. For those of you who are like, "People take pictures IN the bluebonnets? Huh?" - yes! It is a Texas tradition to have photos of your babies and/or family in a patch of our state flower, bluebonnets! And there is no way I would ever turn down the opportunity to photograph this sweet boy! Aris is a little over a year and a half old, and the first and only baby to make me an auntie! Isn't he adorable?

With my both of our busy schedules, we didn't have the time to make the drive out to Brenham or Chappell Hill (which are typically the go-to spots for these types of photos) so instead, we figured we'd do a little research and scout the areas a little closer to home. I figured we could take the country roads and drive out west to spot some bluebonnets - they are wild flowers after all! We lucked out in Bellville, Texas where we spotted a large patch of bluebonnets right beneath a bridge over the Brazos river.

Aris had a blast running around outside, and it was so cute to see him trying to figure out what the flowers were all about (and if they tasted any good). We even had the opportunity to snap a few Easter photos while we were out there since its the perfect setting!

After we were done, we let him run back and forth down the adjacent road to access the bridge a few times and he just had so much fun running back and forth! Oh to be a kid again (and have that much energy again!)
