When we pulled up for this session, the clouds were threatening….but the location they had chosen was beautiful, and we were determined!! I photographed these guys when baby brother made his first appearance, and as always, it is exciting to see both the kiddos and the relationship grow and change. What a gorgeous family–inside and out!
…and of course, the red wagon made another appearance!

Such a fun loving and easy going family. Not the first time I have photographed them, and I know it will not be the last!! I always have a blast when we are together, and the pictures are always full of fun and a true reflection of who they are…..

My sweet boy! All too often I take pics and blog about my gal. It’s mostly because she is a total rockstar in front of the camera. She sits still. She’s 5 (a great age for portraits). Her hair is amazing…. I love photographing her.
Jax, well…he isn’t exactly a perfect candidate for a portrait session. I mean, I obviously think he’s adorable! he’s just not a “sit still and look at me” kinda kiddo. No “smile pretty!” So not him. That results in instant cheese. It’s painful to watch.
I decided this morning to capture him just as he is. Enter jammies: These are his “Superman Pa-jammies.” He spotted them on the clearance rack at Target last month all on his own, and I caved, something I don’t normally do. he was just so jazzed over them, and they were pajamas for crying out loud.
Eleven dollars very well spent. It was instant love. He wants to wear them, well, all the time. I let him, except when we go out in public. The bus stop is an exception (yes, he wears them to the bus stop). If we are out, as soon as we walk in the door he puts them on. They are “cozy,” and I think they make him feel….well, good!
Loved capturing that today, right down to the little marker hearts wearing off his hand that were drawn with sharpie marker by yours truly! Both of my kids enjoy this “past time.” One heart (the big one) is me, and the little one is them. It’s our extended version of “The Kissing Hand.”
Have a super weekend!!!
Catching up on more past session blogging now that things are winding down.
Totally loved photographing these adorable twins! It was pretty cute to see how they were each so unique. The cute little knit hats mom toted along for the shoot were a super adorable addition. I especially adore the host of them ripping them off…which happened quite a bit! 🙂
Enjoy!! I plan to blog every day, so be sure to check back to see what I was up to this fall!!
I really want to say that this session was all planned out for weeks, months even. I want you to believe that we lined up a Santa ahead of time, had to rock sweet Landon into a deep, deep sleep, get everything JUST right…. but that would be a lie.
Truth is, we scheduled a session at Landon’s Grandparent’s house. It was exquisitely decorated (no really, she has been in a magazine for this). We spent some time photographing Landon, trying to make him smile. After, we even headed outside for some family shots. The weather was mild. It was a perfect day!
Upon returning from outside, we were taking family pics in front of the tree–and little man must have been worn out. Landon was closing his eyes a lot, and long story short–he just fell asleep right there during our session in Mom and Dad’s arms. The really funny part of this story to those involved is that during his newborn session last year, we couldn’t GET him to go to sleep!!
Anyway, mom pulled out Christmas PJs from her diaper bag, Dad and I scurried around the kitchen looking for cookies and milk, and Landon’s grandfather quickly went upstairs and changed into his trusty old Santa suit. The rest is history….and I couldn’t love it more.
Merry Christmas Landon (and happy birthday today Mommy)!!
