Love me some twins ....

and their very sweet cousin. This session was jam packed fun. The poor boys are recouping from illness but they were troopers. Here they are as newborns. I remember how hard we worked to get a few pictures of them both sleeping. This time, we got LOTS of them together = ) To add even more excitement, mom had arranged for live bunnies to be there!! They were darling and a total hit with the kids.

I've only had time to proof a few but can't wait to work on the rest. Here is a sneak peak.

A sibling image...


An individual of one of the boys...


And, we're not going to let this beauty get away without a sneak peak, too!


I would also like to leave some love for Schrock Innovations. Note to all my readers. Do NOT insert a 3 inch disk into a regular size disk drive. Furthermore, do not then attempt to put a regular size disk in with it in an attempt to get the 3 inch disk out. It will NOT work but will cause both to get stuck. I'm not going to point fingers as the guilty party already feels pretty bad.

ETA: I can't believe this post is all b/w! I must be in the b/w mood but I promise there are fun color images, too!

Baby Goodness

This little miss was soooo good to me. She slept almost the entire time. What an angel! There is so much to love about her, but I think the thing that gets me most is those lips! Take a look...

Miss Elsa...

On another note, I'm TOTALLY enjoying this weather. My camera finally took a little trip outside = )

a shirt with a history

I was so elated when K was disucssing clothing options for her son's 9 month old photo shoot and she pulled out this white shirt and told me the story. It is nearly 40 years old or so and has been worn by dad and his 2 brothers, all at the same age! Now, it is being passed on to the future generations! I can't believe it's in such good condition, no stains, tears, rips, etc... I'm hoping I did the shirt justice!

H is a proficient crawler and gave us a workout! You would not believe how long it took us to get the last piture where he's nakey with the hat. Everytime we would sit him down, he would full throtle crawl some place else. But alas, one split moment was all I needed!





Going for something antiqued with this one...

Lovely Nora

Sweet, sweet, baby girl! I am so in love with each of these little humans I meet and photograph. Each so different and unique!

Do you think he knows...

just how LOVED he is? Welcome to the world baby Gage. You are such a little prince. I think this little guy sensed it was his big day and he didn't want to miss a thing! With a little coaxing from mom, he decided the party would wait and he could take a little snooze, if only for a few minutes = )


S & D - it's always a pleasure. I wish you a speedy recovery!
