No really. This has to be one of my most memorable lifestyle family photo sessions from last holiday season and I can't believe I haven't shared it yet. Why is it memorable? Because to me, it fully embodies lifestyle family photography with the perfect balance of getting those great smiling images and then those little moments in between. I find that it's often those little moments that have the greatest impact when viewing the pictures years down the road. Look at the way mom is looking at her baby in the last image...my word, can you feel the intensity of her love?

Rumor has it that I get to work with little sister again for an upcoming commercial shoot for Baby Bugaloo and Gro Boutique! Can't wait to see how much she has grown!!!!

I mentioned when I posted their little preview on Facebook that I was hesitant to actually even share a certain image. Why? Because that kind of thing just doesn't happen. It doesn't. It's like the Holy Grail of the newborn photography world. And I don't want everyone to think that I'm magical or something and I can make that happen. I try. Believe me, I try. But this was just pure love and adoration.

While we're on the topic of session magic and Holy Grails, baby girl may have been the most smiley newborn ever:

Or maybe they're more like smirks. Either way, I wish I knew what joke she was in on that we were not aware of at the time.

You *might* recognize this family from a few years ago. Big sister wasn't always so big, but she certainly had the most captivating eyes...even back when. She reminds me of the Afghan girl...she's got the kind of eyes that you will never forget. Even if I saw her on the street 10 years from now, I would 100% be able to know exactly who she was. Lucky, lucky girl.

When he came to visit a few months ago, his mommy brought along a fun little surprise: her entire collection of albums we created to represent his first year of life...

Wow! It was really cool to see them all together like that. Our year's worth of work had come to fruition. And now they can look back on it any time they want. Awesome!

I figured I might ought to go ahead and blog their newborn photo session! These girls were amazing...just amazing! It's so funny to look back on them now with a fresh set of eyes and I can totally tell who is who.

Oh, yes, did I mention they came to visit me over the holidays last year?

I remember their mama mentioning in the session questionnaire that her only concern about the session was that her babies would be so cute, they might break the camera. LOL. You know, she may have been right about that!

Yeah. She came to visit me a little bit ago. I tried really hard to tuck her away in my camera bag so mommy wouldn't notice, but it didn't work. Better luck next time.
