These three are all so incredibly different. I loved just watching them interact with each other. Older sister is super calm and patient and motherly. Brother is bouncy and happy, but also laid back and gentle. Little sister copies everything older sister does, but in her own sassy way and only if it’s her idea first.
These kids are certainly that to their parents, and I can see why! We had a fabulous time hanging out at the Botanical Gardens on Tuesday! I enjoyed the age differences in these kids as it very much reminded me of my own! Mom and Dad were laid back and went right along with all the craziness I suggested. You know, like, “all three of you hold hands”. I know they had to be thinking…WHAT!? SERIOUSLY!? You want the two year old to even sort of hold hands!? Bwahahhahahaha. I know, I was CRAZY. But, you’d never know it by looking at these photos, now would you
I want the love, I want the light
I want the beauty on the inside
I want the one that you can’t see
To be the definition of me
More than the face, more than the girl
More than the voice, more than the world
I want the truth that I believe
To be the definition of me

This song reminds me of little C. And her mama. And her brothers. And daddy. Having this family at the studio watching little sister get her photos done was a breath of fresh air! As always, mama was smiles and love for her children. I’ve met the brothers more than once, and talk about sweet, thoughtful and cute…they are! This was the first time I had met dad, and after 30 seconds, I knew where this family’s foundation started! Just as polite and thoughtful as his little boys. It really was a joy working with them all, and seeing just how in love they were with “Baby Siss” as they call her
Brooke, I’ve so enjoyed watching her grow! I just know she will not only be a beautiful little girl, but she will have an amazing heart and soul!!!
This session has been over a year in planning. I spotted this tub at the baby’s newborn session and said “Oh, we should do a short session with all your kids in the tub and lots of bubbles everywhere!” and mom said “Oh sweet! They’d have so much fun!” but we had to wait for the baby to be big enough to stand and see over the top of the tub. As it was, once we got her in there, she slipped and whoooosh right under the bubbles! I was afraid we’d have to try again later, but she managed to stand up as long as she was holding on the side, yay! The barhroom was SOAKED and covered in foam when we were done (and so was I, for that matter), but it was a blast!
All of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We’re giving love in a family dose
Living life is fun and we’ve just begun
To get our share of the world’s delights
high hopes we have for the future
And our goal’s in sight
All the way down from North Carolina, these sweet sisters made my Labor so much fun!!!
These two girls (you may recognize them from last year when they both came in with their sister, Ava Jane) make me laugh so hard. So, we went out to the Botanical Garden on Sunday the 1st, but it was grey and dreary, then rained on us, and then my camera ran out of batteries right on the last shot I needed, so they came back out yesterday to finish up. It was grey and nasty the whole day except for that one little 45 minute section of sun we got last night when we were out there. We finished up the night at Marble Slab getting birthday cake ice cream ON my birthday. In fact, I think I may have turned 31 years old while we were sitting there. What a fantastic night!
and then there is another line to that song, but I am too beat to remember it! 12 hour day at the studio, fabulous, awesome sessions, fabulous, awesome people. And I, am a fabulously, awesome, tired person!
Here are you sneak peeks friends…more to come…this was all I could get to after my day of shooting!
Well, if this isn’t Christmas cheer, I don’t know what is!
Brotherly Love!
I’m gonna be a cowboy, baby!
