…talk to the parents of these adorable baby boys! Already the parents of a 4 year old girl and a 2 year old boy, Mom and Dad were ready for their family to be complete, with the arrival of their third and final baby. Little did they know, they were soon to become a family of 6! Somehow the heartbeat of baby boy number two was not heard so it wasn’t until the second trimester that the family found out they were having twins. They were shocked, with no genetic history of twins occuring in their family. Identical twins at that! I had to google; the chance of having identical twins is 1 in 250. The boys are beautiful, as you can see, and you would NEVER know their petite svelte Mama was pregnant (with TWINS!) just a few short weeks ago. Congratulations, “F” family; enjoy those cuddly baby boys and the delight, entertainment and joy they will bring to your family!

this weather hasn’t exactly been ideal for picture takin’. However, despite the misty, rainy weather, the “M” Family and I decided that whatever would be would be, after countless reschedules. I’m so glad too; I was having picture taking withdrawal! By the time we were finished, my jeans were muddy and soaked through and through, but oh my, it was so worth it…..the chance to spend time with a patient and gorgeous family, hiking around the great outdoors, and of course, capturing some special moments in pictures. Thank you, “M” Family, it was so nice to finally meet you!
You never know what you are going to get when you decide to have children. I remember, with each pregnancy wondering, will he/she look like me, like my husband? Will my children look like each other? So much anticipation waiting to see….deliberating, wondering….dreaming. I couldn’t help but think along these lines as I got to spend time with this beautiful family. The blond- haired, blue-eyed little boy is the spitting image of his mother, and the brown-eyed, dark haired little girl, is a little replica of her father. So amazing how children in the same family can look like opposites, sharing the same gene pool….makes for quite the stunning family, in this case! Thank you much, “R” family, I so enjoyed our time together!
After photographing their younger cousins, I got to spend some time with this gorgeous brother and sister. I have to say, the eyes of all the children in this family are just stunning…and such range, from chocolate brown to the blue/hazelish hue of Big Sister below….those eyes mixed with SUCH personality were a delight to capture. Thank you to both families, for choosing to support me in this early stage of my business. I know it takes enormous effort to get the family ready, fed, out the door, and last but not least, HAPPY, to get a family picture, so I am honored you trusted me to capture the end result. Enjoy one another and have a Wonderful Thanksgiving!!
After getting a couple of family shots and pictures with his big brother, Baby Boy Z was ready for a nap….His Daddy had fun, soft music playing in the background, big brother sat down to enjoy his movie, and I got to enjoy holding a newborn, getting him arranged and of course, taking his picture. Mom was such a big help, at the ready with wipes (for the inevitable!) and helping me whenever I needed an extra set of hands. Thanks again, “H” Family, I feel so blessed to have been invited into your lives during this special time…I look forward to seeing your beautiful children continue to change and grow.
Thank goodness I’m under the veil of “just starting out” right now! When I’m stumbling through a shoot like this, I can use my inexperience to excuse myself somewhat! This family is in town visiting Grandma and their Auntie…Mom wanted to get a good Christmas picture and one with the cousins….well, I THINK we may have accomplished that goal…..we shall see as I continue to edit. Keep checking back for another preview on the rest of the family!
The minute I walked into this family’s home, I knew I was in for a treat. I was greeted by an animated little red-head who immediately demanded a kiss and thereafter, he was the Prince and I was the Princess. Who would not be flattered by such a proclamation?! Little Red-headed Prince + his adorable new baby brother + two just plain happy parents made for quite the enjoyable morning. I don’t know how they looked so vibrant with a newborn in the house, but they certainly did not look any worse the wear. Thank you so much, H family…it was such a joy to meet you! Stay tuned tomorrow for a preview of Baby Z! The last shot is a candid, but I just thought it was too cute; Little Red-Headed prince having his treat for all his help.
….that includes two little boys may not be quiet, calm and serene, but it certainly is FUN! Granted, we had our moments during this shoot, didn’t want to smile, didn’t want to take pictures, ANYMORE, but nothing that a snack and a little bit of juice….and a-hem, throwing grass (at me!) couldn’t solve. Their disdain for the camera could be because these boys are already stalked by the Mamarazzi; their mother is a fellow picture taking fanatic. Check out her website at http://www.picturethispartypics.blogspot.com. Such a brilliant idea; she’ll take pictures during your child’s birthday party (or other event) so you can relax and enjoy those special moments. Thank you, “M” family, you were loads of fun!
I have known this family for the past three years and I have to tell you, the Mama in this family is a ROCK. Her generosity and kindness of spirit overflow to all those around her. I’ve been attending a bible study on parenting and when I edited the pictures of this Mama’s children I couldn’t help but think of an analogy the speaker gave – “Consider that our children are the arrows we shoot out into the world and whatever we’ve taught them touches and spreads to all those around them”. My, oh my. May these arrows spread the love, kindness and generosity of their Mama, as far as they possibly can.
Did I mention, she slept almost the entire time? Also, no accidents on any of our props! Nada! What a gloriously fun afternoon….don’t forget to check out Ashley’s stuff too! She’s based in Lafayette, LA, and she may possibly have some openings for upcoming sessions. www.ashleycaglephoto.com.
