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 :)

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 :)

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!

And a set of twins makes FOUR gorgeous girls

I've known these big girls since they were just little girls, and now I got to meet their new six week old sisters - what a gorgeous foursome!


Their parents said the best part of having two is that there's no fighting over a new addition - each of the girls always gets to hold one :)


I love this one. Forty toes!


I'd love this one cropped in square for a holiday card, don't you think?


And we had to get a few of just the little guys:


Looks like they're sharing a secret, doesn't it?


And then the big girls brought me outside to play for a bit, too. So wonderful to see you guys - thanks for having me!

Three blondies who love to play

Here's my big brother's nose:


And I think I love this one best - they all look so happy!


And it's always fun to play in a pile of leaves:


Wonderful to meet you guys. I love how much these cuties played together, they had such fun. Hope you enjoy all the photos - they're just about ready!

Everybody's somebody's baby

Sometimes I extend the reach of my "baby" photos business - to extend to wonderful older kids. I got to come see a big family of five kids last week - here are the older three with their dad:


And then just the older three by themselves:


Big brother R with his new brother B:


And big sister M (who I photographed months ago when baby B was still in her mom's belly), with sweet baby B:


And I had to get a few of baby B by himself. It was great to meet the whole family - your photos are just about ready!

Two girls in the leaves

These guys had such fun running around and tossing leaves on each other:


And giving each other sweet hugs:


The belly buttons are the best part of this one:


Giving mum a hug:


Peek-a-boo!


Wonderful to see you guys again :)

Girlie giggles

These girls had such fun together on their couch:


And then we went outside, and they just had a blast playing:


Giggling with mom and dad:


Little M got a swing around from her mom:


Big M did some twirls for us:


And here are the two beauties together again:


I loved seeing you guys again - hope we can get the girls together sometime soon!
