The Pardoe Family | Busy Boy’s First Family Photos at Mehraban Wetlands Park
about the session
Everyone, meet the Pardoes!
Devin & Michelle met at BYU where Michelle had planned her whole life to attend. She was raised in England and knew she wanted to go where she could be around other people who shared her faith, get an amazing education, and maybe even find the love of her life. Well, check, check, check! Not only did she get all three of those things, but the girl got the most adorable baby boy out of the deal. Say hello to Henry! Henry is their busy, blue-eyed, wonder boy and has been keeping both Mom & Dad on their toes from day one.
This family showed up looking amazing from head to toe. After chatting for a few minutes to get Henry warmed up, he quickly wanted to be exploring everything around him. As beautiful as the Wetlands park is, if you have a little boy who’s obsessed with sticks, you may want to be prepared for getting lots of photos of y’all exploring the world together. And that’s what we got! They turned out so darling. Michelle and Devin adored watching Henry tot around, looking at leaves, sticks, dirt and anything else he could get his hands on.
Michelle and Devin are perfect examples of going with the flow! They did everything they could to ensure their photos turned out beautiful by dressing nicely and helping Henry be in a good mood. Then, when their little guy wanted to be out and about, rather than fighting with him, we encouraged him to be himself and that is when the magic started happening. There’s only so much you can do when you have a busy little one, and Devin and Michelle didn’t let that become a negative spot in their pictures!
I loved working with the Pardoe Family!
