And here’s another one that seems to be growing up a bit too fast :-(. If you hang out with me on Facebook, you would have seen the one that makes me want to stand up and sing the National Anthem ;-).

You know that feeling you get when you open your eyes one day and look at your child and think, “Oh my gosh, you’re growing too fast!”? Well…I get that feeling when I look at my clients’ children, too. Yes, this little guy is growing way too fast!

She had mentioned red, white, blue, and sparklers for her session. The day of, I happened upon the PERFECT quilt at an antique store. But the quilt and the sparklers aside, it was their comfort and connection as a family that made this session for me. Her son is such a gentleman. Her oldest daughter is full of life. And that baby girl is full throttle, no fear, she believes she can do anything, LOL! (I don’t normally let kids climb on ladders at my session…they found it and there was NO stopping that little one!)
And they just take it all in stride. You can see the pride in mom’s face when looking at what she and her husband have created together. You can see how much her husband loves them all. *That’s* the kind of thing that makes me grin from ear to ear whenever I’m proofing a session: when you can actually SEE love.
(To see another one of my favs from this session, don’t miss this one!)

Too many times I’ll see something cool on my drives from my sessions and I’m too tired or too lazy to stop the car and photograph it. I stopped today.
When I showed up at their home for baby brother’s newborn photo session, his parents rushed me over to their Pinkle Toes photo wall (I love getting to see that in my clients’ homes 😉 to show me just how much he looked like his big brother at his newborn session. Oh my word! They were absolutely right! It was unreal!!! We even repeated one of my favorite shots from back then–did you see THIS post?
But then, the more I worked with the little guy, the more I got to see just how different they were, too. Baby brother was much tinier, much sleepier, and was making very different expressions than his big brother did back then. It’s going to be really neat to see how these likenesses and differences manifest themselves as the brothers grow up.
P.S Watching the mowers cut down some lovely wildflowers today (boooo!) reminded me of their maternity session. The sunrise that morning and the light fog was just amazing out here:

Little girl loved the skirt handmade for her by her Auntie! Can’t beat the chevron, either!

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.
