I did pictures a little while ago for this beautiful and sweet family over at Tanglewood. Mom asked me to come back to do some Christmas shots and pictures of the whole family (Dad was here this time- last time the pictures were a surprise for his birthday). Well, the little boy had other things in mind. Today was just NOT his day. He was very upset over a cut he got previously and there was no getting him out of his funk. His mom tried with deals and bribes, his dad tried with fun and games. Even I tried. But no luck. His mom was super- she was so happy with his pictures from the last shoot that we are just going to use those for a Christmas card. So instead of a full family picture, it will be individual shots instead. She wanted new ones because the baby changed so much in a month. So I hope what I got does the trick. And I got some cute shots of the girls in their room- it was so pink, and they are so pretty, I just couldn’t resist.

I called to check on "B" later on in the day, and his mom let me know after a nap he perked right back up to his usual self. Timing is everything, huh?  

This was Saturday afternoon’s family shoot. The mom is the one who owns the T-shirt company bcause i said so that I have been doing the shirt pictures for. If you get a chance, go check out her webiste. The stuff is super cute and makes great gifts. And they just started a "charitable baby" section where the newest shirts "sharing is caring" profits all go toward the pediatric cancer foundation.

Anyway, I used to work with D way back in my Jimlar Corp. days when I was the buyer for Coach shoes. She has three boys also who were so well behaved and easy to work with. A total pleasure. And all three are so handsome- each in their own individual way. The oldest is an amazing hockey player, the middle a soccer guy (and total ham for the camera) and the baby, well…he hasn’t decided on his sport quite yet. But he’s getting going with the standing alone. And we love that red hair, and the freckles too.

Had a great newborn and family shoot this morning. The mom is the sister of "Mrs. Pow", so if the family looks familiar it’s because you have seen them on the blog before at their dad’s suprise party. The baby is about 3 weeks old and just a little smoosh. I even got to hold him a few times (but no baby itch for me). Mom and Dad were very ummm….pliable. They let me do just about anything I suggested (thanks for the furniture moving, J). Big sister is a total cutie and is SO 2. Just like Timmy. You can’t make her do a thing she dosen’t want to. But she was so great and friendly, and so, so super sweet to her new baby brother. Oh, and she loved her leaves!

Looking for that elusive Christmas card shot and birth announcement shot. Hope you like them and find some contenders, K.

I had a mini session for Holiday cards yesterday afternoon for the "rote" family. A three year old and a 4 month old= challenging! They were great though, but the little one definitely did not like the snowsuit (it was pretty cold out) so we braved the weather and switched to a small jacket instead. The big one was a great help in holding the baby, but he is a big baby and got heavy pretty quick so I had to work fast. Grandma was there and jumped in a few shots too, but was otherwise my helper- getting the kids to smile with her singing. Worked like a charm most of the time. Hope you like them, A and can find something to use for your card.

This morning’s shoot was for my new, good friend and her family. Her little boy is one of Timmy’s BFF’s. The two of them have started wrestling non-stop at all of their activities together. In that good, fun boy way. The boys are together 3 days a week now, and seem to love every minute of it. We even have a playdate tommorrow.

We finally got it together and the weather cooperated (for the most part as it was pretty cold!) so we got the shoot done. The foliage couldn’t have been any better. And how much does she look like Reece Witherspoon!?
