Two years later, another sweet boy

The last time I saw big brother C, he was 15 days old. Now he’s a big brother and 2 1/2 years old. His new brother L was born a couple of weeks ago, and he’s one of the most loving new big brothers I’ve ever met! He was so interested in spending time with and giving his baby love…

Towheads x3

It was a cloudy, icky morning on Sunday, but these three towheaded beauties didn’t let that bother them. I’ve been taking pictures of these guys since big 4 year old twins A and W were just a few weeks old. Can’t believe how quickly they’ve gotten so big!

Dimples, love love them.

And another lovely lady with equally twinkley eyes! Baby L has grown into quite a little lady this year :)

Riding bikes in the puddles was a hit:

And did I mention the dimples? Not to mention his “fireman” boots.

And here we have determination personified… look at how far those toes are from the pedals, but she’s still stretching, trying to make it work:

You guys were an absolute treat as always!

A teenie puppy and three fun kiddos

These guys invited their friend over with her new puppy for the photoshoot – they thought it’d make for cute photos as the kids had time to play with him. They were right!

And little sister B came down from her nap and gave us some big smiles:

Aren’t they sweet together?

Silly faces:

Even on a yucky rainy day last weekend we grabbed a few minutes running around outside with the pup:

And last but not least, the boys regaled me with a fabulous concert. They’d even printed up tickets for the show… I was seated in the “orchestra” and requested not to move around… even given my press pass ;)

The rest of the audience was in awe of the show, too. Thanks for having me back, guys. As always, it was wonderful seeing you :)

Best Pregnant Halloween Costume

This is by far the best pregnant halloween costume I’ve ever seen… please send me pics if you do it this year! (Thanks to RookieMoms for the tweeted link.)

And I promise I’ll get back to work on pictures now :)

Rainy Day? No problem.

We’ve had a couple of rainy terrible weekends here in Boston, which means many times my clients will decide they’d rather hold off and wait for another appointment time (which sometimes even means waiting for a wait list spot) so that they can get pictures of their kids outdoors. When kids are older and like to run around, I totally understand this rationale, I do. But sometimes, even on a rainy Sunday (like this one a couple of weeks ago), the one family who kept their rainy day spot was psyched – we got to slip outside between raindrops and get some fantastic shots:
1057 by you.

Look at this lovely big girl! I haven’t seen her since she was 6 months old, and now look at the twinkle in her eye. Gorgeous.
1100 by you.

And her big brother, the handsome Mr. N:
1095 by you.

I am a troublemaker, though. I totally instigate sibling fights – I’m terrible. But sometimes the best expressions come of it. Me: “Why don’t you splash your sister?”
1084 by you.

I think maybe I should get my knuckles rapped for this. It’s not nice at all of me. But isn’t this the best expression anyway?
1087 by you.

We did spend time inside, though, and these guys were perfect together:

Making each other laugh:

Giving crazy kisses:

And even sharing some quiet time. I love the toes here.

I loved seeing you guys again, thanks so much for having me back!

What beautiful pictures!! And they capture their personalities perfectly:) Can't wait to see the rest!

Two under two

I always have to hand it to families who go for the two under two thing – it is so much work, and though I’m sure the rewards are innumerable, I’m always just straight up impressed by them. This fun family was no different. Big sister M is 19 months old, and little bro A is 3 months old.
0614 by you.

One of the things that made M happiest during the photoshoot was the stickers her dad was handing to her. So what’s sweeter than her giving them to her brother? All the cool kids wear stickers, don’tcha know? (She pulled this one off her own belly to give to him. True love.)
0632 by you.

I love this one of A, with M in the background stickering herself:
0659 by you.

They have the most gorgeous eyes, both of them:
0679 by you.

A smooch for dad:
0646 by you.

There were some tickles for everybody, but A saw right through it. He looks like he’s saying, “You know, I know what you’re doing over there…”
0542 by you.

And we zipped outside for a few shots. Every dad/kid combo has a different tossing-child-in-the-air style, and these guys went for pure height. I love how much air she caught. She loved it too :) Looks almost like those sweet pointed toes are standing on Daddy’s hands up there:
0718 by you.

And I love this mid-ball-toss moment. Keep your eye on the ball!
0749 by you.

Silly faces with Mama:
0727 by you.

And the toy we can all agree is awesome… the small ball:
0771 by you.

And every day these guys wait on their front porch for Dad, so this is what he sees when he walks up from the train. This makes me smile. I loved getting to know you guys, thanks for having me out!
