A third boy.  Oh boy oh boy OH BOY! (as an excited friend put it).  When each of my children were born I never could look at them and figure out who they were going to look like, but little Tripp here…he sure looks like his brother Tate!  Right down to that adorable chin dimple.

It’s been a while since I’ve shot a newborn session at a client’s home.  Not on purpose though.  I love shooting in homes since it’s always fresh and inspiring surrounding, but since I opened my studio most newborn clients come in.  This was such a special treat for me and mom!

I ventured upstairs while mom was feeding for a bit to play with the big boys in their new bedroom.  They were still in their pajamas, but who cares?  🙂  One of the fun things about moving from NWA to the east coast was they got a new room…and it’s a lot bigger!  I was a bit jealous myself because I’d love to have my own play area.  😉

We have a whole series of images of the boys playing around on mom’s bed, but I’ll show you these two.  They were waiting to take pictures with new baby brother and killed some time with a bit of wrestling.  So adorable, aren’t they?

I just have to show this sibling shot.  Tripp wanted to keep his legs stretched out all the time!  His mom said he was like that inside as well.  Always up under her ribs.  🙂

A little impromptu outdoor shot later in the day.  After an afternoon of chit chat someone said it was 60° outside.  And the rest is history as they say.  🙂

Katie, I am thrilled that you allowed me to come out and photograph Tripp’s entrance to the world and his first photo session.  I had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come again!  xoxo

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.  🙂

It’s always fun when the furry family members join in on the pictures.  This sweet girl did great the whole session!

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!  🙂
