…my, how quickly 7 months has gone by. Were you really safe & cozy in my belly a mere 7 months ago? I can’t believe it. Look at how big you are! So much personality…and gasp – crawling! Mommy was late in posting these 7 month pictures of you, next week you will be 8 months! This makes me sad, very sad. With your brother, I was so happy with each milestone. I remember thinking to myself “I can’t wait until he sits up, I can’t wait until he crawls, I can’t wait until he walks, I can’t wait until he sleeps through the night”. But with you my angel, each milestone makes me sad. Sad because it means you are growing up, and getting one step closer to being a big girl :( Even the night wakings. I enjoy them. It means time we can cuddle. I can nurse you in a quiet room, hold you, be still with you. It’s lovely. You need me and I need you. Can I keep you this way forever? So sweet, soft, cuddly and small? Of course not, but what I can do is savor each fleeting moment. Take pictures (both physically and mentally) so that I can freeze frame these beautiful moments in my heart & mind before they fade and you’re off and running with your big brother. I love you my little angel.

…that is the one word that pretty much sums it up. What an absolutely charming little guy! He clearly, clearly has an extremely adorable smile (and laugh) – but I think my favorite was his more pensive and serious look – which he gave a lot of while eating a yummy cupcake at the end of the session :) It’s not uncommon for parents to express concern if their little one(s) don’t smile as much as usual during shoots. But truthfully, I prefer it when the babies give a range of emotion from happy & smiley to serious & even clingy. In fact, some of my favorite images are those when babies want to be held by mom or dad – cuddles and snuggles :)  I definitely got a wide range from this little guy – smiles, giggles, thoughtful gazes & cuddles! An energetic and sweet baby boy with a big personality!

Amazing! Yes, these sweet girls are amazing. Amazingly adorable and lovely. It was clear to see that their personalities are pretty different – even at only 12 days old!  One was very spunky and certain of what she wanted and didn’t want…and the other easy going and relaxed! But they were both suuper duuper cute. Gorgeous complexions and perfect little lips :) And a huge congrats to mommy & daddy for having three babies in under a year; and major WOW to mom for carrying her twin girls to full term – how rare and amazing is that?! Couldn’t be more true that this family is amazing in every way!

…not one, not two, but three! Three very adorable boys, full of energy and personality! Can you imagine how handsome they will be years from now?! They will be heartbreakers for sure! But for now, they are just as cute as can be. Adorable and full of spunk! And when I say “spunk” – I mean it! They are on the go, on the move, ready to rock & roll at all times! I’m not sure I’d have enough energy for three boys :) Mom & dad are truly amazing. Watching them with their boys is unforgettable! An absolutely gorgeous family!

…a playdate, not for the kids, but for me :) haha! I had a great time playing and hanging out with these two handsome guys. I must say, one of the perks of what I do is getting to act silly, letting my inner child come out to play and giggling to my heart’s content during sessions! I thoroughly enjoyed our playdate!

…in every way. She loved being in daddy’s arms – and when I saw them snuggling face to face, I was really in awe at how much they look alike! She looks just like daddy! Sometimes it’s hard to tell with newborns, but in this case it was clear as can be. Her big brother I think looks just like mommy though – with his big beautiful eyes :)

The location here is definitely bright and happy – but the girls were even more (much more) cheerful & happy than that! These girls were all smiles & giggles – which is actually no surprise because very time I photograph them (especially big sister), they are full of personality and just super happy! Plus, they are just too adorable for words – they have the best smiles ever! Pinchable cheeks overload :) LOVE!

…they already have one beautiful girl, and now they have two! Double trouble – for daddy – in the future with these pretty girls! The very first shot is my favorite from the session. Totally spontaneous – big sister leaned over and gave baby girl the sweetest kiss, not because I asked–in fact, I was busy taking solos of the baby –but because she just wanted to! She hopped on the bed & just went over to give her a smooch :) I’d have to say she was one of the most cooperative and easy 2 year olds to date – I was reaallly impressed! I also thoroughly enjoyed seeing mom and dad as parents to two, as I was lucky enough to photograph them two years ago when baby #1 was born! It’s always so amazing to be a part of these moments as they start their journey as parents of two. What a beautiful family!

…for one, this was an amazing session! Not only are the kids totally gorgeous, but they are fantastic models, too! Especially big sister – she was very easy to photograph and very photogenic. Sweet sweet girl, she gave me a big hug and held my hand as we walked to our cars at the end of the session – how adorable is that?! And little brother, wow – he sure is handsome. And when he stayed still long enough for me to snap the shutter, what he gave the camera was jaw dropping. He has amazing eyes and the most adorable smile! So yes, it was a pleasure photographing this lovely family. As if it couldn’t get any better, right? Oh but it did – the weather was heavenly. It was warm, balmy and the sun was golden and simply spectacular. A perfectly clear sunset! I can’t tell you how many sessions I had planned for a nice sunset, only to be greeted with gloomy clouds. So we lucked out this time! Another thing I just loved about our session were the beautiful moments that came so naturally…moments that made me sigh because what I saw from behind the camera totally tugged at my heart strings – mostly when mommy & daughter were together, chatting & cuddling – they have a clear connection that is so gentle & sweet :) I couldn’t help but think of my baby girl – just waiting for the day when we can do the same :) I just loved the energy and the vibe from start to finish. Everything was relaxed and natural….beautiful. I can hardly believe it’s been 2 years since I first met this family! And I am so, so excited to meet baby #3 – I get to photograph his birth! Yippee! I am lucky to be doing what I do. Truly.
