Sweet G was born just five days ago, and her big 17 month old brother D is already getting a kick out of his new role as big brother. (Except that apparently he refers to her as his new dog…)









And I had to show you a few color ones, since it’s that festive red holiday time of year :) And I can’t forget to welcome these guys into my elite club of families with two under two!


Ho ho ho!

In my line of work, sometimes it’s fun to give myself little challenges – little things that I keep an eye out for when I’m shooting. One of those things is the elusive dog lick picture. I love a good dog-licking-baby picture – and getting the dog’s tongue just the right amount out of his mouth while the baby’s also at that perfect moment where they’re not too annoyed by the attention…
The fun thing here is if you click this “dog licking baby” link and get to a bunch of shoots where I’ve had dogs licking babies (yes, it’ll look at first like it’s not going anywhere, because you’ll see this post again – but scroll down, that link shows all the posts I’ve ever tagged with dog lick), the next post down after this one will be of this same pup: Harry, with his beloved little sister E. Our first shoot was back when she was just three weeks old, and now she’s three months old.

We did these pictures just an hour before her baptism this weekend, and she was just a perfect angel for the photoshoot.

Even with very little sleep the night before, she giggled and played…

And showed us how big she is on her mom’s pretty chaise – much bigger than last time, already!

Reading Christmas books with mama:


Love that she’s peeking at her “1st Christmas” ornament here!

Mama and daughter in their pretty Christening dresses:

She did catch a wink before the big event…

Grandma’s pretty hands with baby E:

With her Godmother and Godfather, in her Christening gown and bonnet that her mom, uncle and grandma all wore…

Big cousin, with her fantastic hairdo and dimple:

And last of all, grandma with her three pretty girls:

Loved seeing all you guys! Hope the big event was a huge success :)

Sometimes it’s grandmothers who call me to book photoshoots, and often times those shoots happen around the holidays, when their families are together. It’s always mayhem, and I can almost guarantee someone will cry… but that’s what it’s all about, right? Capturing the insanity? Because why have two handsome sons if you can’t document a piece of the crazy lives they’re living with their 7, 4, 4 and 2 yr old kiddos?
So I’ll get you situated with the big group shot first. Here’s our handsome crew.

And one of all the grandkids with their grandparents:
And now, so you don’t get confused, I’ll go big brother’s family first:





And then I’ll do little brother’s family next:

And I have to include this “outtake” one — it cracks me up — with bow off kilter and tongue out :)





All thanks to these two. Celebrating a big anniversary this year! Congrats, guys.

P.S. These kind of shoots are what I call “a bunch of families together” in my pricing calculator, in case you’re curious. They can run a bit longer than my usual 45 minutes-1 hour. I think I stayed with these guys for about 90 minutes. But it’s nice because each individual family in the group ends up with photos for holiday cards, etc.
Hands down, my favorite. But there are so many fun ones here that we may need a caption contest… or maybe just a really cool holiday card… ;)










You guys make me happy every time – thanks for a great shoot!

Kinda love when sister fun time goes from sweetness…

to more sweetness…

to crisis. So real and fun.

And then we got to go to the roofdeck and get some giggling pictures while this cool flock of birds flew overhead.

And now I have a problem – I can’t decide if I love this one of the four of them, or the one at the very bottom of this post. I guess it’s a good problem to have :)

But just a quick one of little miss S:

And one with mama:

And big sister A with Dad:

Great to see you guys! Funny thing to notice, but I love that you can see the house address in this one. Oh, and A looks like she’s having fun on Dad’s shoulders up there :)

Over Thanksgiving weekend, this sweet 4 1/2 month old guy had a huge crowd around – lucky guy. But first he got to get some pictures with just his mom and dad:







With mom and dad:
And with his grandparents:

And the whole team:

Wonderful to see you guys! It’s exhausting being the star of the show.

I’m going to let these speak for themselves – too many great moments to describe in words :)



Daddy pic:

And Mama pic:


Peek-a-boo!


Gorgeous.

Best part is Dad peering around Mom at M misbehaving in this one ;)

Who says fall leaves pictures are best in color? Nice.

Wonderful to spend time with you guys all camera’d up :)
Now, last but most certainly not least… I love this holding hands one.

Best best best. Love this.

But I’m also kinda digging this one:

Oh fine, I’ll show you their handsome faces :)

Mr. Almost 6 months:

Mr. 7:

And Mr. 10:



Of course we had to do a Broncos picture – as all three “Tebow” for me:

Really fun pictures, thanks guys :)

These guys are card carrying members of the “two under two” club, with a bonus 3 1/2 year old thrown in! Busy, busy, busy. And so much fun energy!
20 months old and 6 weeks old. So much love.

There’s something about the lines in this photo that I love. The artwork on the wall and the bedspread kind of tie it all up in a nice bow for me, too.


Kinda love the mayhem in this one.

Love that dad made this face at/with J:

And so did Mom :)

Dimple :)



Really fun to see you guys as always!

Gonna let these speak for themselves. Too perfect to describe.










Look who’s hiding in the leaves…

Loved seeing you guys!

These three are sooo fast, and they crack each other up sooo much, I just love it.


Da boyz.



All three run for the swingset!



And the best, best, BESTest part of this one? L’s toes in the corner.

Loved seeing you guys as always!

Where to begin?
Well, we have the kind of junior, mellow tickle attack…

And then we have the more advanced, grown-up tickle attack:


Did I forget to mention the rolls and the perfect baby cheeks?


OK, back to the list. The nose smash –

Quick break for another couple of good old fashioned smilers:


And the leaf toss. Not to mention we had our South End backdrop, with the gorgeous buildings behind. Too perf. (The facial expression here also makes me very happy.)


Wonderful to see you guys again, it was really fun!

First I’ll give you the killer smile…


And then I’ll give you the palm tree pigtails. I mean – come on now with the double cuteness…







Fantastic to see you guys as always!

I might have an addiction to toe pictures, but I just adore them. This one would look so neat hung up huge in a bedroom :)

Tintin with dad:

So loving with his new brother!

Poke.




Kinda love how crazy this one is.


Zzzzz.

Really great to meet you guys!

Isn’t she gorgeous?







Wonderful to see you guys as always!
