another sleepy beauty (see post below for sleeping beauty )

nothing better than daddy's shoulder! think we tuckered him out!

Sleeping Beauty!

This sessions had me in giggles the entire time! Not only are the parents so nice, but the boys have gotten so big and full of personality. When they arrived, one of the boys had fallen asleep...but that didn't stop us from taking advantage and using him as a prop!!!





here it is, J! Better than we could have dreamed up! I think this is a glimpse into your future...these boys will be swapping secrets and hatching ideas together for a their lifetime! Love how they seem so connected to each other. Every set of multiples I photograph (and I really have a lot!), I always get the feeling that they have this secret connection. SO sweet!

football dreams... all boy session!

when this mom scheduled her session and we started to talk about what she wanted to do to capture what her family was like, I was really excited! I actually would daydream about it...this turned out even better than the daydream!!

What little boy doesn't, at least briefly, think of being a football player?? This seems to me the epitome of a great childhood....playing football with your dad in the backyard! LOVE this series...absolutely had a blast getting to know this family!







another favorite...trains, grandparents...it was just a great afternoon!

lassoo lessons.....or is it love lessons??

whenever I get to go out with this family for a session, I start dreaming! What can we do that truly expresses how wonderful and unique this family is?? They are always up for anything and every time I go out with them, I come back feeling like I've had my heart replenished.


I know I've said this before...I love sessions where the grandparents get to jump in. Something so special always seems to happen! love that they brought along the lassoo (spelling???) - these are the lessons learned from a grandparent that seem to last a lifetime....

here was the real fun of the session!!! LOVE these! Don't think there's any team rivalry going on in this family....






nice idea, guys - but not a chance!!

mr. serious

I love getting to know families during the Bellies to Babies year package (maternity, newborn, 6 months, and one year sessions with a book at the end all packaged together to make it easy to capture every step of that first year of life!). I started at the wedding of these two and am now privileged to be capturing the journey of their first baby. I love getting to create their sessions because they are up for anything - the funkier and more creative the better!! LOVE this six month/sitting session - I wish I could post them all!

They said he was pretty serious and he did want to check out EVERYTHING with a very serious look of intent! But when he did choose to share his smile and giggle....well, that was it!! I'm in love again!! (I could spend an afternoon hanging out with this little dude!!)

the explorer

we switched to a little vintage... but this was making us all laugh.... mr serious the explorer couldn't stop trying to get INTO the suitcase - he wanted to check it all out... but it's what was happening on the backside that was so cute



ahhh.......here it is!!! This is the look that captures and melts your heart - and makes you feel like he's sharing a private joke only with you!!! (isn't it funny how rewarded we feel by a baby's smile and laughter?!? just squeezes your heart!)
