I photographed these 2 cuties last year around this time and I was thrilled to meet up with them again – this time as a surprise for their mom.  I love it when dads are really into getting their children photographed so when Dan called and said he wanted to surprise Kim with pictures of her beautiful girls, I couldn’t help but fit them into my weekend.  It also helps that he is an old friend of mine!!!!!  

I hope you love them Kim!!

Historic Ivyland:

If there’s one thing I learned about Paul this weekend, it’s that he’s probably stalking my blog this week looking for pictures of his little peanut.  I had to laugh when he asked me (repeatedly) if I got any “good ones” because how could you take a bad picture of a baby this cute!?!?!?!?!?  I have to admit that I got great pleasure out of telling him that I thought they were all going to be horrible.  Pure evil, I tell ya!

Good Lord – those eyes!!!!

love it when they try to grab the camera and judging from the strained look on her face -she was REALLY trying!

sweetness!

I haven’t even gotten to the outdoor ones yet but I doubt that I got any good ones anyway.  ;)

Sorry for the teasing but I didn’t want to let you down!

My new favorite picture of my two favorite guys.  

more to come from both kids and their first day of school adventures – just have to play catch-up first!!!!!!

It’s funny what a small world it is.  I have known this family for a little over 3 years now but it wasn’t until this session that I realized how many people we have in common.  One of Kevin’s best friends (or he would be one of his best friends if he would start returning phone calls) married Brian’s sister who I briefly lived with before Kevin and I got married who went to a nearby highschool where I used to hang out and go to parties as a kid.  Now Brian works with a bunch of people that I went to highschool with, we live around the corner from each other and our kids will be in the same grade at the same school.  Riley is on the same bus as their twins and Rowan will go to school with their youngest.  Confused yet!?!?!?!  The point is that you never know how connected you are to other people until you start digging around and stalk their facebook friends list [ooops, did I just admit that I do that!?!?!?].  Anyway, on with the pictures of this fabulous family of 5.

Cutie!

something about him really reminds me of his aunt and I love the way he loves his brothers!

you know I’m a sucker for a silly face!

a little something different for me but I kind of like it!

You know when you first meet someone and right away you just know that they are “good”??????  That’s how I feel about Kristin.  She came into our lives as Rowan’s speech therapist when we were worried that he was a bit behind for his age.  The good news is that with Kristin’s help, he is all caught up and hasn’t been in therapy for almost 6 months!  Yay little man but anyway back to Kristin………as a thank you to her, I offered her a session and she took me up on the offer.  I knew it would be the perfect gift as anyone who knows her knows that there isn’t much in the world that she loves as much as she loves her boys!!!  Here’s your preview Kristin which I know you are waiting not-so-patiently for!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you love them!!!
