To know these kids is to love them.  The first time I met them was for brother’s baby pictures.  He’s only gotten cuter since THEN.  The next session while mom and I were designing their Christmas cards she told me on the back she wanted it to read “coming this spring…baby #3!”.  And that is how they announced baby Vivi’s soon to be arrival.  🙂  You can view her birth story HERE.

During this session I wasn’t sure we’d get outside with the weather so chilly.  We did most of the images inside the warmth of the studio and they were little pros!  I told mom to let them bring their favorite toy from home and I just loved what they decided to bring.  Check out Mr. Personality below.  😉

I love how she has her little toes curled under below.  🙂

She decided to bring all her princesses.  She even had some My Little Ponies.  Those brought back some memories!

It’s all about the Super Hero’s…

Told ya it was all about ‘em.  🙂

Sometimes (well, all the time really) you just never know how the session is going to go with a 4 year old….but she was great!  She gave me plenty of every emotion.  🙂 🙂

I realized this weekend after shooting several sessions that it has been a while since I updated my own kids pictures.  Well, I’ve rectified that.  🙂  Looking at our oldest I can hardly believe it’s been 12 years!  For all you moms just starting out on your path soak it all up (and I mean all, the crying fits too) because it goes by FAST!

For the past several years I’ve been lucky enough to photograph this family.  I love these kids!  And yes, they are as sweet as they look.  🙂

I can’t believe how much G has grown!  You may recognize her newborn picture from my studio wall…

And now…

These girls were so much fun!  At 36 weeks pregnant I was surprised I was still able to squat to get some of these shots.  Their mom made a joke about me going into labor in the woods…which definitely could have classified as a natural birth!  🙂
