From my little firecracker to yours!

You didn't make a peep while your big brother ran circles around us all. You have settled into your family with such ease...like you were always meant to be there. You are a gift to your family, little one.

These guys are no strangers to the Pinkle Toes blog and I can't even begin to tell you how it makes me feel to think that most of my blog posts are of repeat clients. It is truly a privilege to get to watch these kiddos grow up. Love this tradition of having everyone there for his birthday (just like his big sis) and I LOVE that we sat him on the table with his cake (just like his sis). It was a very happy day! (Click to see my two personal favs from this session bigger HERE and HERE;-).

Thank you.

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:
