What a sweetie! I loved listening to her chatter while we were walking around the studio! I think we talked about everything possible to talk about. She loves her grandmother’s dog like you wouldn’t believe!
Ok, not quite…but almost! This handsome man is going to have a large print from his 4 month session hung up in the Full Bloom Yoga Room! It is amazing to see what this little guy can do! Sit cross-legged, the downward facing dog, and he has incredible balance! He is also the perfect mixture of his mom and dad. Love it!!!
These two this evening were so so different from each other! They are five years apart in age, which is usually a recipe for disaster, but thanks goodness for a patient big brother! This session was done at the UGA Founder’s Garden over on Lumpkin, but we also took a hike around north campus. I asked sister to sit next to brother and she was wanting to do other things, so I asked her to lick him. Thinking he’d just get up and run off and the best I’d get was a few giggles from her, I was ready. Instead, he totally sat there and let her go whole hog! Seriously cracked me UP.
I love shooting on wet days! Everything is so much more colorful. This sweet guy made my afternoon today a little brighter!
Another Tales From the Crib baby! This little guy had his “heads up” session on Saturday! Man, what fabulous weather it was! While we typically do these sessions indoors, it was so nice outside and he had such good head control we headed to the outdoors! Mom and dad also happened to have their eldest “son” with them, so we threw Charlie in for a few photos too!
This photo gets a little blurb all its own! Mom asked for some photos in his christening gown. Well, OF COURSE! Then, she proceeded to tell me how she had had the gown custom made from her wedding dress! Can we say AWESOME! We keep carrying on the conversation because I am in total awe of the beauty of this gown and what do you know…..MONICA GILSTRAP made her gown! The same Monica Gilstrap who hooked me up with a black corduroy jacket for my son when I couldn’t find one for family photos! Small, small world I tell you! If you are interested in Monica’s work, she does have a website…..
CHAOS!
Dude, seriously….such is life with an 18 monther. They are independent, they are strong-willed, they are explorers….THEY ARE FAST! Good gracious. I burned enough calories during this session that I harbored ZERO guilt going home to claim my 12oz. reward!
However….the thing about chaos is you must embrace it! You can’t try to get a handle on it, no, that does nothing but create frustration, you just let it run its course. And so, we did! The end result…totally worth it!
Yea, you can see mischief written all over his face!
Sweet Big Sis.
LOVE mama love!
Dad’s know just what to do to embrace the chaos!
Yeah, let me tell you how much I love these kids. I rented a fisheye lens for another shoot this week and decided to use it today for a test drive. I said “Okay, lean in really close and yell at me!” Yeah, two out of three’s not bad. 
This handsome fella was a baby planner and came back in for some holiday portraits! Who would believe he’d be this young and TALKING…up a storm! His eyeballs are so fabulous. And, even though he was on a ton of drugs, he was happy go lucky!
