…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!

…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!

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!

…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.

…gorgeous! Simply gorgeous! How beautiful is she?! Her skin so peachy pink and smooth, an adorable little mouth, and eyes so very blue – just lovely! It’s like she knew she wanted to stay awake almost the entire session just so I could continue photographing her pretty blue eyes :) I’m quite thankful that she did stay awake, because it really would have been a crime not to photograph her baby blues!

…that a year from now, mom & dad will be buying milk in barrels for their FOUR growing boys! But I’m sure they’ll save lots in other ways since the new babies can wear all of their big brothers’ hand me downs! Very convenient :) I really can’t tell you how much I’ve been anticipating their arrival – I’ve been so lucky to have had the opportunity to photograph their family quite a few times since 2009. After our very first session, I had an amazing time photographing their entire family (over 30 people!) and then mom’s sister’s wedding….and of course a few other family sessions in between. So with the many sessions we’ve had and lots of time to hang out, I was more than a wee bit excited when I read mom’s email that they were both healthy, out of the nicu and headed home….and that I would finally get to meet them! And boy, they did not disappoint at all! They were just as cute as I knew they would be – and better yet, they were super sleepy for our session which meant lots of cozy, precious, newborn goodness. I really couldn’t decide which ones to blog, so this one’s going to be long!

…sleepy head :) What a trooper. Although he’s definitely not an early bird, he put up with the morning session so very well! He did give me a few looks as if he was thinking “Really, you got me up early for this?!” BUT, he did laugh and smile alot too….so I think he had a good time :) I did however — really, really love his more serious look…the model pose was priceless! Love this chubby little baby boy! I just want to give him cuddles :)

…if you think these beautiful twin girls are lovely, just wait until you see their baby sister. Scroll down a bit to see how cute she is! Baby sis has amazing blue eyes and a sweet  little personality on her. And her big sisters were fun, energetic and totally on the go! They were also so, so cooperative – I will admit that thinking of photographing twin preschoolers does scare me a bit – but I had nothing to fear this time around because these girls were more than willing to hang out with me for some pictures! What an amazingly fun time I had chasing these girls around :)

…doesn’t he have the most perfect little pout? I think so! I first noticed it during our newborn session 6 months ago….and it’s even more obvious now! What a cutie! And I just couldn’t get over his awesome little man outfit – I loved how his blue shirt was super tight which showed his adorable belly :) He also has gorgeous blue eyes…lookin’ just like his beautiful mama!
