He makes #6

This little guy, born just over a week ago, joins a family of five. Five children, that is. Prince P has one older brother and 4 older sisters, two great parents and one old and happy dog. He is a LOVED little baby, and oh.so.cute (even if he didn't snooze much for us!). Check out the toes on this little guy. I love the detail of every little line and mark on his little feet.
Thanks for having me over today.
Enjoy every inch of that little babe.

A beautiful family

Yea, no rain today for photos! We were able to get outside (even though it was just a tad chilly) and take some lovely photos of this beautiful family.

Twins. Can you tell??? And younger brother who just rounds out the cuteness in this family.
Wish I had a minute to post a couple more, but they'll have to wait for the gallery! Jack is incessantly chitter chattering and I can't even think straight!!!

Thanks, thanks, thanks guys for being great sports! It was great to meet such a nice family.

Beauties

I had a fun little quick session this afternoon with two beautiful young ladies. Not only are they gorgeous on the outside, they have beautiful souls. They are so lucky to be growing up with such wonderful parents - I just adore this family.

These two sisters probably wont always see eye to eye!

A classic...

And another, in b&w...

Folks... this is what will happen to you if you eat too much turkey and stuffing tomorrow at Thanksgiving dinner. Please, use caution when filling your plates.!!

Thumper

Meet Thumper. He lives at Addie and Jack's school and makes home visits on the weekend. I let Addie sign up to bring Thumper home this weekend, as a birthday treat. Thumper is nice. Thumper hops. Thumper is VERY soft and cute. And, Thumper poops. A LOT.

Addie likes to put Thumper in a box when she is coloring.

Jack likes to hang out on the floor with Thumper.

Addie just loves Thumper.


Here is Jack in the snow. More snowy pics to come.

We're heading to the bowling alley today for a special birthday celebration with friends. Yea!

Happy Happy Birthday

Addie is FIVE years old today!!!
Yippeee!!

Click here for a link to a very special slideshow I made for her!

We're having a great snowy birthday today!

Almost Five

A new haircut for Addie.
Short! So cute.

Here she is donning a couple of new pre-birthday digs... Hello Kitty tee and a new sparkly headband. She was also wearing her NEW pink sparkle shoes -- picture to come.

Speaking of pictures to come, stay tuned on Saturday for a very special blog posting...

COLD

We got rid of our rain from yesterday, but now we have COLD cold air. Even colder out in the country! The wind was whipping today, but these four siblings were troopers.

You should hear this guy play the piano. Wow, he can jump, too!


Playing around with color/texture again with this one. I kinda like the feel of it - dreamy, soft, sweet...

I liked this one in b&w, too... but I love it in color.

Notice how his hands are in his shirt in this one... mom and I tortured them by making them keep their coats off... It was cold (and I had my coat on). Thanks guys, for your patience and for having me out for photos!

striped tights

Thank goodness we moved up our session, scheduled for next week to today. Couldn't have asked for better mid-November weather for photos!

Look at how cute this little guy is... I mean.... puh-lease - CUTE.
And his sister is a girl after my own heart with her striped tights and adorable black shoes. Not to mention her smile that would brighten any day.
I have only begun to quickly peruse these images and am finding wayyyy too many that I love!
Thanks, thanks!!!

She's a biker.

Addie learned how to ride a bike without training wheels this week. It literally happened overnight. I'm amazed! Now, that's all she wants to do! It's so great!

cousins, cousins, cousins!!

A VERY quick posting of some pictures from this afternoon... haven't even had a chance to decide if these are favorites or not, but they stuck out when I quickly browsed through.

What do you get when you add 4 silly kids with 3 cousins???
7 awesome, silly, energetic and wonderful kids!!!!!
and one crazy mother who needs to go back to her plastic surgeon for a refund. she seems a little lumpy!!!

cake in the face

Genevieve and I shot our last wedding of the season this past fall weekend. The flowers were beautiful, as was the entire day.

I think Sara was our only bride this season to smash the cake on her husband. You never know until the last minute if they're going to do it or not, but she did!
and, she got a little payback from Hayden!
Congratulations! Best wishes.

brothers

Two quick pictures of my two new friends!
These two guys were so cute at our session yesterday. They were so easy-going, well mannered and very charming.

I love the moss on the rocks...


Thanks guys - you're pretty neat little people!

I am so happy!

You don't know how happy I am right now. Mr. B's mom and I worked for... oh, TWO hours (!) to get him to sleep. I was beginning to take it personally, that he just didn't like me! But then, this...


I am so excited!!
Yea. Yea. Yea!!!

She's getting so big!

Yea for me! I got to visit my little friend Miss T today. My, oh my, how she had grown in the time I've known her. She gets cuter and cuter every time I see her. Smart as a whip and gorgeous hair that gives Marcia Cross (Bree Hodge from Desperate Housewives) a major run for her money. Gorgeous hair.

Here she is being a typical almost 3 year old. I don't know why I like this picture... I just think it so cute.

Here's another I love. As we were getting ready to go inside to switch outfits, Miss T climbed up on her little table... I'm sure she's not typically allowed to do this, but I thought it was darn cute! And, I love her little expression... just love it!


Love both the color and b&w of this one... just beautiful! One of my favorite types of images... natural and casual. Makes you want to just reach out and give her a big ole smooch! Seriously... look at that hair.

Thanks, thanks, thanks Sarah-- Miss T is great!
