the cooperative newborn!

it's always a challenge for me to get newborns to go to sleep or even stay asleep during sessions. This time however, piece of cake!! We found that little Ava liked to sleep in a wooden bowl the best! Even when I so gracefully made lots of noise (i am such a clutz) she stayed asleep!! She could sleep anywhere and through anything. So, we had LOTS of fun with her yesterday! I am so thrilled with this session that I can hardly stand it!

so, here's baby #1 or should I say baby #2 now. Couldn't resist myself... had to get this shot!


sigh!

twins

another crazy busy family! not only 3 kiddos but twins!
here's the more chubbalicious and serious of the two...
and the smaller yet smilier one...

and finally big brother who really wishes the session was mostly about him!!

busy busy family

There's something crazy that happens to families once they hit baby #3... the being outnumbered I think! So, imagine with only 11 months between babies!! Yikes! Thankfully little Finn was a trooper and barely cried the entire session.

cute little buns!

Dear God...

"please help me to change the world"

These are the words my son's been praying over the course of the last several months. So, he and his dad found an organization made up of kids (http://www.krho.org/) that are helping children in Haiti. These kids came up with an idea that can help do just that, change the world. They found a way that most people in America can give without even having to get out their pocket books. So, here's their mission.

Recycle your old cell phones and empty printer ink cartridge to raise money for orphanages in Haiti.

The two organization that they are focusing on first are listed below. Click on them to find out more from each organization.

• Three Angels Children's Relief


• Nehemiah Children's Home

HOT mama!!

I think she looks better than I do now... and she's 37 weeks prego!! Hee Hee.
hope that ties you over until your gallery is finished :-) I can't wait to show you the rest!

ordinary and everyday things

This is the stuff I want to remember. The way my boys sit at the table and draw in the natural light of our kitchen makes me smile. So, if I were to take a shot like this for a client I would most likely stage it some but with my own kids that's next to impossible... it's the real deal. Wish the table was centered in front of the windows but as my daughter always says "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit".
Looks like Connor might be a lefty.

don't just take my word for it...

see for yourself that babies really are cuter naked!
This little guy was pretty much all smiles. His last session was all sleep.

and since his daddy is a chef, well this was only appropriate.
