I was blessed with another chance to take pictures of these loving siblings, Paige, Grace, and Jake (in order from top). They were SO FUN to photograph. Paige just strikes a pose and it's "the one". I love her skin, too, the freckles are awesome. Grace is a bit more shy when it comes to posing but she lightens up a bit after some conversation and is a beauty to behold. Now Jake, what can I say, he's a boy! He stood still for some Smarties - every toddler's favorite treat. He's got a mischievous look in his eye but he never gets out of line, he's such a good boy!
Thanks Paige, Grace, and Jake!!
These are more of Blake. I loved spending time processing these, I loved looking at him as I worked and listening to my music.
Look at picture #3...can you see how he's looking at his mama? She is the only one in his world at that very moment, and he in hers. Newborn love is so wondrous.
Thanks Blake's mama, for letting me relive both my baby's first weeks :)
This is Blake - so tiny, so vulnerable, so dependent on his mama. Can you believe we were all this tiny once? As I watched mama with her first born and watched Blake with his beloved mama I was reminded of my first days with my firstborn. Other mamas can tell pretty quickly who's got the instinct, who has totally and completely fallen in love with their tiny angel. Blake's mama has both and it was wondrous to be a part of their day for just a few hours. Thank you!
More of that dear sweet Aidan, and these are my favorites. There are many more of these poses and I'm so glad they turned out nicely!
Thanks again, mama, for letting me into your home. And thank you for asking me to take 9 month and 1 year pictures, too! Woo hoo!!
I'm still processing images of this handsome young man, I took so many! Here are a few more, and still more to come.
It's Aidan again! Six months old and amazing. The moment you look into his face you are first captured by his blue eyes and then you light up from the inside out when he grins at you. And once again, his love for mama is so apparent, makes me wish I could snuggle up with them, too.
These are a preview for mama, more to come!
As I load these I'm shaking my head back and forth thanking the heavens that she's mine, that they are both mine....
(Check back for Rachel who will be up soon, she'll be 7 in a few weeks!!)
My sweet baby and I went to the park today for 3 year pictures! OK - it was a dual purpose trip, both for her pictures and so I could practice finding that "open shade" and getting that sunlight twinkling in her eyes (called "catchlights" with us cool dude photographers :). She's such a stinker to photograph, couldn't even get much today with bribing. I told her she'd get a lollipop if she'd pose and as we got in the car I told her she could have a small one... I think the meaning of that was lost on her.
Here's some more of the birthday girl...
