some of my favorite kids

April 29, 2009

These cute kiddos were *probably* my last session before I have my baby.  I keep saying that it seems, and then I decide to do just one more…I’m surprised at how well I’m able to get around at 36 weeks pregnant.  Especially with kids – they are fast, constantly on the move, and they don’t wait for you to get situated.   You have to be ready at every moment!

I’ve done several sessions for this family, and I’m thankful to have the privilege of capturing their kids as they grow into beautiful little people.  We started out pretty early in the morning, and it was surprising how bright the sun was.   It posed a small challenge, but were were able to find some pretty spring flowers and some shade.    These two are super cute, so getting good pictures wasn’t too hard!

Meet 7 day old Miss A – another little beauty with a name I just love!  Mom’s maternity pictures can be found here.

This little one made me work for every shot though.  It was definitely my longest infant session to date – maybe 4 1/2 hours?!  She must have been going through something that afternoon because the only thing that seemed to make her happy was mommy’s milk.   :)   Dad made a comment to me after about the 4th hour, “I’m not sure who is more stubborn – you or her.”   It made me laugh.  I’m not sure that I was being stubborn – I just wanted to make sure they had some good pictures of their new little one!

As you can tell, Daddy is a policeman.  Mom’s main request was to get some shots with his uniform & hat.  His name is blurred for privacy…

I had a lot of fun with this 2 year old little guy! He’s so adorable and full of energy. We went over to a neighbors farm for part of the pictures. Mom was right – it was the perfect spot! Little Mr. L had a great time – he just ran and ran like a little energizer bunny. I’m not sure the word “stop” is in his vocabulary yet. And, whew! Being 33 weeks pregnant, I was huffing and puffing to keep up with him!
Then we went inside for some pictures. Mom has decorated the house so beautifully – we got some great shots in their bedroom and in the playroom. I could have stayed and taken pictures of this little guy all day!
I had a hard time choosing which ones to put here…he was just so cute and expressive. Here are some of my favorites…

This family is one of the sweetest and most fun to photograph.  The kids are adorable and always full of smiles!  The littlest one is turning a year old.  I photographed her as an infant and I just can’t believe it’s already been a year!   She is just so stinkin’ cute – full of smiles and curiosity.  Her big brother and sister adore her and she loves to return big slobbery kisses!

Take a look at this before and after picture…
