Amazing eyes on these girls

Ooh, I love childcare and the slow January season! I took these photos earlier today, and thanks to my mother-in-law's preschool pickup, was able to focus the rest of the day on them. I love being able to turn things around so quickly at this time of year!

So I know this one is a non-traditional family shot, but I just love it.


And pretty big girl W:


And sweet little girl H:


The girls and their giggles. I love this look W is giving H here:


The girls, all dressed up:


It was great to meet you guys! Thanks for inviting me out :)

Number three, on the way

I love it when families I've known for a while let me come back and experience a pregnancy through pictures. I started taking pictures of big five year old A when she was just a year old, and got to do teenie baby pictures of two 1/2 year old R when she was just a little one... and now I got to get excited with the family as they await #3:


I love this of the three cuties:


And the two big girls:


The whole crew. Wonderful to see you guys again - best of luck with the new arrival, I can't wait to meet him/her! :)

Many years, big girls

I've been taking pictures of these girls every year since I started my business back in 2003, and they've gotten so big!


It's sweet, because they know I'm coming, and remember having done this year after year, so the three of us just wander the house inside and out, and their parents like to keep the pictures as a surprise, so it's up to us to play and take fun pictures. I love this one out in the snow:


And ever since the beginning, the girls have always included their beloved stuffed animals, so we had to get them in a few shots, of course:


And this was their favorite trick of this year's photos - the carry. I have to say it again - I can't believe how big they've gotten!

A big brother and sister welcome their new twin brother and sister

4 year old big brother H likes to be the one to hold his new six week old sister and brother. Two year old sister P's job was "patter", though, and she did a fabulous job:


Tickling toes:


Little E was a little sleepy:


Look at these cuties:


So glad you decided to use your gift certificate now, while the babes are still tiny! I love these shots :)

Three years of grins

I love going back and seeing families I've known since their babies were tiny - it's so much fun for me. I met big brother W and big sister A three years ago when they were just a few weeks old, and now they have a sweet sister L:


Ladies first, here's the beautiful three year old now:


And sweet girl L - love her tongue here:


And the handsome three year old W:


And I love how A is getting her lips ready for her kiss here. Thanks for a fun photoshoot as usual!

All my favorites are pictures of all three? What?

So normally I like to choose individual shots of each of the kids, maybe one of all three together when we have a group of cuties in the pictures... but this time I have five favorites that all have all three of them in them. Crazy.
I love how the one thing in really crisp focus in this one is Monty - the pup in the back:


These guys think their little sister is pretty hilarious:


And it's always good to dance:


Here are the three of them inside relaxing in the windowseat:



And of course we had to add the fourth baby to the shot :)
Great to see you guys again!

Big sister hugs

A huge hug from big sister M gave little sister J a reason to grin last weekend:


But her dad's funny faces were even better:


Isn't big girl M just gorgeous? I love this one:


Wonderful to see you guys again. I hope the move goes/went OK!

Just a few months later, and such a big girl already!

I met little baby T just a few months ago when she was first born, and now she's a big three month old girl! Her big sisters D and L love holding and hugging her:


Not to mention kissing those toes (with a little prompting from me) :)


Big, Bigger and Biggest:


What beauties! Wonderful to see you guys again :)

Smooch for my brother

Big sister H is such a good smoocher! And little brother D seems to be enjoying it :)


These guys had some giggles together:


I can't believe how big H is getting. I met her and her mom in my first mom's group, when she and my Annie were only a few weeks old. And now our girls are three! Crazy.


And H's handsome little brother, with the fantastic grin:



So nice to see you guys!

Cheek to cheek

Sweet smiles, cheek to cheek :)


Isn't this expression great? He looks many years older than his mere 4 months...


And the pretty LJ:


Wonderful to see you guys :)

Two girlies having fun

These guys loved playing together last weekend:


They were so good about cuddling together:


Big girl L:


And little girl E:


Wonderful to meet you guys!
