adorable kiddos...

These two went to preschool with my son last year. They are just too stinkin' cute! Almost makes me wish I had twins. Almost. It took them just a few minutes to get warmed up to the camera and then they were on a roll. Silly, silly, silly! I just loved how they interacted with each other. It's like pulling teeth trying to get my kids to hold hands for pictures, but S & S were all over it! They even hugged each other (almost to the point of strangling!) on their own. What a great way to close out my weekend! Thanks for the super fun session!

She posed like this on her own!

first time for family pictures with me...

I've taken C's pictures a few other times (Anyone remember the adorable little girl in a dress at the beach? That was her.) but have never taken family pictures of them. Until now! They came for a mini session, hoping to get good photos for Christmas cards. I think we succeeded!

Snuggling with her momma, who is expecting Baby Girl #2 in just 14 more weeks...

back with #2...

So, the last time I saw these guys was when Baby #1 was six months old (I had taken maternity and newborn pics of her, too). Now she's nearing three years old and has a brand new baby brother! He was 9 days old for this session. (He looks much older since he was 11 pounds at birth!) So glad to have you guys back in the studio! :)

little football fan...

The last time L and her mom were here was when she was just 9 months old. It was so fun to see how much she's grown up since then! They're huge Tony Romo fans and wanted pics taken in their jerseys again. She was also the first one to use my new little red velvet couch. So cute! 

"I can't work with these conditions!"

"I can't work with these conditions!" Yes, those are the words spoken by this 9-year-old boy (B) today. LOL! His five-year-old sister (M) was being silly with him and he'd had enough. I couldn't believe it when I heard him say that! And sweet little M was a little decorator. She loved when I pulled out the Christmas props... made herself right at home and started decorating away! I left her decorations out for a few shots (the silly faces one below, for example) and then pulled most of them back out. When I told her, "Let's do some with your decorating, and then I'll take most of them back out" her brother told her, "And by most she really means all." LOL! It's soooo funny working with older kids instead of babies sometimes. I just love hearing the funny things they say! That reminds me of one more funny one... M was getting tired of pictures and told me, "You can take three more." I laughed, not realizing exactly how serious she was, and snapped one and she told me, "That's one." I snapped another. "That's two." I snapped another. "That's three." And she got up and walked out to take a break. What a hoot!

It was so nice to meet you guys!

They wanted to be silly...
