While most of the country was shopping all night long, frantically searching for the best Black Friday deals I was photographing this beautiful family.  When mom called me to schedule we were hard pressed to find a date left that we both could do, but it did happen!  She didn’t shop on Black Friday and I didn’t have any plans to either so it worked out beautifully!  When mom filled in the ‘image request’ part of her client forms she wrote “would love to get a picture of the entire family but I’ll take what I can get.  It’s hard to get 4 kids this young!”.  Well, I guess we achieved the impossible then.  😉

Thank you, Raye for sending me such a sweet, laid back family!

I love it when babies give me plenty of asleep AND awake time.  This little princess did just that.  She has the prettiest face don’t you think?  She fought her sleepiness for a good while in the beginning and by the time dad got there we were getting in the swing of things.  One of the many things I’m enjoying about the studio is that we are right next to the best pizza joint in Rogers.  Dad went next door to The Rail pizza company and brought back their dinner to the studio.  So dad’s, don’t dread your baby’s session.  Just plan a little pizza and kick back on the couch.  😉

When I got to meet this family for pictures it was about 52 degrees with 20mph wind gusts and no room to reschedule.  They were such great sports and their sweet girl stayed wrapped up in a blanket when she wasn’t having her picture taken…and sometimes even when she was.  They skipped rocks, climbed trees and snuggled up.  The end result of a chilly day?  Lots of sweet images!  🙂

What a lucky mom to have 3 fabulous sons.  They are not only handsome, but polite and sweet.  I hear mom’s say a lot that they don’t want to wait too long in-between children so they are closer in age, but I’m here to tell you there are some real benefits to having a bit of space.  This little boy has two older brothers that just loved to snuggle and play with him.  It took a bit for him to warm up during the session, but once he realized he was running the show it was all smiles.  🙂

I had a lot of fun during this session.  These sisters were so sweet together and so helpful with their baby brother.  Three children all born in different countries.  How cool!  Australia, Singapore and little baby boy right here in Arkansas.  I’d be willing to bet they have more stamps on their passports then me!  🙂
