She now headlines my campaign for all newborn photo sessions to be with older newborns (4-12 weeks old). Seriously, I could not get over those beautiful, bright blue eyes and her peaceful nature. And we even got some fleeting smiles. Pretty amazing session. I loved it! My favorite family image is HERE. And another one from the tree is HERE.
While big sister is already quite the star on the ol’ Pinkle Toes blog, it was clear at the newborn session that baby sister is well on her way along the same path. What a sweetheart!!!! Truly, she was an angel and put up with us so sweetly the whole time I was there snuggling with her ;-). OMG, you do NOT want to miss this little behind-the-scenes pic of what mama had to go through in order to keep big sister happily playing along ;-). And don’t miss this nursery pic!!
For the first five years of motherhood, I was a boy mom and totally immersed in the world of Legos, trucks, construction vehicles, and things that I could step on in bare feet. So, I could totally relate to reading this mommy’s client interview before her session…especially the part where she said it usually wasn’t five minutes when she’d get home from work and there’d be a NERF dart stuck to her high heel (we paid homage to that scenario in this last image ;-). I love that she is the picture of grace and beauty, city-mouse-meets-country-mouse, surrounded by those rambunctious, fun-loving, outdoorsy boys of hers! Lots of fun and loads of giggles in this session for certain! {One more of the pupster HERE}.
So much has changed since the last time I visited their home, but these two sisters are still just as close and equally adorable. The last pic of baby girl going down the slide slays me! P.S. Fruit at the bottom is picked from their very own Brazillian Guava tree and let me tell you, it is yummmmm-mmy!
Seriously…photo sessions at home are the BEST! No one has to go anywhere (well…except for me), you can be a bit more relaxed, you’re in familiar surroundings, and most of all, you have the opportunity to capture favorite play things and treasured spaces for your children to remember years down the road.
We’ve been working together since he was still in his mommy’s tummy. Small world, because shortly after he was born, we discovered (through Facebook, of course) that she went to school with my husband’s late brother. It really makes me happy to get to see them year after year. I feel like part of the family. {Don’t miss little man and his guitar HERE.}
Their mommy and I have been chatting about doing a session like this for quite some time. I am soooooooo excited that she finally gave us the go ahead this year. Her boys were the perfect ages to capture something like this. The memories will be so real to them when they look through this album when they get older. See what this scene looked like from the outside. Also, outtake of puppy dog HERE.
When trying to title this set of images, “Sparkle and Shine” immediately came to mind. I found that to be incredibly ironic because I distinctly remember that this sweet girl’s daddy sang that very song to her during her newborn session. That was more than 4 years ago and since that time, I’ve photographed her brother’s newborn session and many milestones in between. And these children grow more and more beautiful each and every time I see them. How in the world is that possible??? (Don’t miss this one HERE).
Yes, I will admit that this photo session might “look” like it was all about that ADORABLE little puppy dog, Joy, here in these pictures. I promise it wasn’t. I promise we spent lots of time photographing the whole beautiful family. But tonight, Joy steals the show for us. I think you’ll be okay with that. [My FAV]
We pretty much let the boys guide this session and it was funny how enthusiastically they jumped into each activity. I love that about kiddos this age–they feel emotions very deeply and are very present in every moment. Honestly, I could learn a lot from that ;-). My personal fav image can be found HERE.
I left their home that evening grinning from ear to ear. How could I not? That little cutie’s energy and enthusiasm is wildly contagious. Plus, I’m a sucker for redheads anyway. But just look at how his parents were admiring him in those last couple of images. That boy is LOVED! No doubt about it! Fav family image HERE and then THIS ONE just slays me.
Just a reminder…I’ve got a few openings left for my holiday minis coming up at the end of November. It’s not too late to snag your spot, but in a few weeks, it will be :-(.
