They really do get along!  I’m a little jealous I have to say.  It’s so nice to see siblings, teenage siblings, get along so well.  What a blessing!

Remember these cuties from HERE and HERE?  I can hardly believe it’s been almost a year!  Mom & dad are raising not only 2 very darling children, but very adventurous. 

In full disclosure I have to tell you that my favorite image from our session is not in this blog post.  It will have to wait till later in the month, once I’m sure everyone has seen their Christmas cards. 

While most of the country was shopping all night long, frantically searching for the best Black Friday deals I was photographing this beautiful family.  When mom called me to schedule we were hard pressed to find a date left that we both could do, but it did happen!  She didn’t shop on Black Friday and I didn’t have any plans to either so it worked out beautifully!  When mom filled in the ‘image request’ part of her client forms she wrote “would love to get a picture of the entire family but I’ll take what I can get.  It’s hard to get 4 kids this young!”.  Well, I guess we achieved the impossible then. 

Thank you, Raye for sending me such a sweet, laid back family!

I love it when babies give me plenty of asleep AND awake time.  This little princess did just that.  She has the prettiest face don’t you think?  She fought her sleepiness for a good while in the beginning and by the time dad got there we were getting in the swing of things.  One of the many things I’m enjoying about the studio is that we are right next to the best pizza joint in Rogers.  Dad went next door to The Rail pizza company and brought back their dinner to the studio.  So dad’s, don’t dread your baby’s session.  Just plan a little pizza and kick back on the couch. 

When I got to meet this family for pictures it was about 52 degrees with 20mph wind gusts and no room to reschedule.  They were such great sports and their sweet girl stayed wrapped up in a blanket when she wasn’t having her picture taken…and sometimes even when she was.  They skipped rocks, climbed trees and snuggled up.  The end result of a chilly day?  Lots of sweet images!
