Jasper’s First Haircut

May 11th, 2010 by ariana

Of course I was that crazy mamarazzi snapping a million pictures. Perhaps a little overzealous given the conservative results – we only asked her to clean up the crazy flyaways (see the first picture for the evidence). No buzz cut for Jasper, I don’t think I could handle him coming out of the chair looking like a 10 year old!

the motorcycle was the perfect distraction..

fauxhawk!

touching it up.. all done!

He did really really good, the only tantrum he threw was when they tried to put the smock on him, which is why you see him smockless in these pictures. It worked out ok because she was saving the clippings to put in a little baggy they attached to a “first haircut” certificate. Personally, I find the old hair in a bag thing slightly maudlin, but I’m not going to throw it out or anything.

Now that he looks so handsome, I sort of wish we’d done it sooner!

All images shot with my Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 50mm 1.4 Lens using available light.

Yeah! Go Jasper (and you for surviving the first cut).
Love the fauxhawk too.

So sweet! I tried to hold off for the longest time on James’ first haircut… but in the absence of ANY curls whatsoever, it had to be done long ago. Jasper looks precious, and I LOVE the fauxhawk!!! ;)

Yay! SOOO cute! Glad he survived! As you know, JoJo FINALLY got a haircut too… at TWO! We went short and he looks like he’s going to kindergarten :-) No more gel in the morning! Daddy did the haircut… it was quite an experience! I’ll have to send you a pic! Yay Jasper!

Kristy, can’t wait to see! I can’t believe daddy did the haircut after all his objections to it :) Yay for no more gel!
