As promised, more of these 2 adorable kiddos.  They were so sweet and so welcoming that I didn’t want to leave!

This one makes me smile.

scrunchy face – so cute!  I also think he’s my new BFF – love it when the kids are sitting on my lap by the end of the session!!!

There was GORGEOUS light behind their shed and I am in love with this black and white.  I wonder if they’d mind if I brought my kids over and photographed them in their backyard??????

I love the devious look they get when they think they are being naughty.  He was hilarious!

This family traveled all the way from NYC for this session and while I am extremely flattered – talk about PRESSURE!!!!!  I will say that we had a ton of fun and you couldn’t meet nicer people and I really hope we get together again.  Steph, it was so great to see you and to meet your awesome family!

tell me he doesn’t have the coolest hair – of course he does, he’s one heck of a cool kid (and that has nothing to do with the fact that I saw a picture of him with Gavin Rossdale who is on my Top 5 List – top 5 singers that is…..ummm right)

Speaking of Top 5, I think this may make my list of top 5 favorite photos and I would love to have one of Rowan and I just like it but only if I had her legs!

Love the tackling of Daddy!

Now since I keep no secrets, the title of this post has to do with the fact that as we were saying our goodbyes, she gave me a hug and said “You better not have messed this up” but I’m almost 100% certain that she did NOT say the word “messed” and the comment had me cracking up the whole way home!  Hope you love them Steph and I hope I didn’t “mess” them up too badly.

I have writer’s block this week so this is going to be short and sweet.  Here is one of my favorite families. (period – that needs to be said out loud to emphasize the point).

Sorry it took me so long to blog!!!

ADORABLE!!!

Love that Dad came along this time and love even more that he actually seemed to enjoy it.

To continue to challenge myself I am doing a 52 week challenge with some friends with a different theme each week.  We are only on week 8 and I’m determined to make it to the end!!  This week’s theme was low light and I thought I’d share my entry here because 1) I haven’t done much of anything this week since my germ-monger of a son so nicely shared his cold with me and 2) this is not my typical style but I could totally see myself becoming more of a moody light person.  Let me know what you think – good, bad, indifferent??  My favorite part is the grain on her legs which make them look dirty and remind me of my favorite frames from O’Brien Schridde (actually her legs may actually be dirty – did I mention that I was sick?  I don’t know that baths were my top priority this week.   Ewwwwww……)

Hello, My name is Nicholas but my friends call me Nicky.  I was born roughly 2 weeks ago and my mom somehow thought it would be fun to have this beautiful lady (edited by author) come over to take a few pics of me.  I’m no dummy though, I know she wants me to sleep and it’s not gonna happen!

Does she actually think that converting me to black & white will make me sleep.  I’ve seen the old movies – not much sleeping going on there.  They don’t even show us their bedrooms.

Don’t think that the thumb-sucking is going to make me nod off.  I’m just waiting for something better to come along.

Now they’ve fed me and bundled me up, they really think I’ll sleep but I’ve got news for them.  Could you sleep with your feet poking out like this???  You would think that after 4 kids my mom would know how to swaddle me!!!!!!!!!!  Actually, now that I think about it – it is warm and comfy in here.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

They finally got me to sleep so they wouldn’t dare let my big brother lay on me, or would they?!?!?!?

Now they are taking me outside?  What’s wrong with these people???  I’m only 2 weeks old for Goodness Sake.

Little Nicky has to end his tirade here because the “beautiful girl” that came to photograph him finally decided to call it a day so she could go home and take a nap of her own!  Nice meeting you Nicky!!!!!!!!
