Ok…. EVERYONE remembers this shot, right:

Well… little Trip has grown up… and now he is into hats!!  Well, not quite “in to” them like he was with the boot—but, you get the drift!  (by the way… there will be more from his 6 month going on 8 month session later this week):

Wow… I dropped the ball on this session.  I was just starting to edit these (yes… I’m taking 3-4 weeks for proofs these days– need to learn how to say no!!!) and I realized that I never put them on my blog!  Sorry, Julie! 

Anyway…I have photographed three of these kids many times (I’m sure you’ll recognize them), but never with their little cousin, Jack, from Iowa.  He was down visiting, so they planned a photo session to get all of the kids (and adults) together for pictures for CHRISTMAS for their Grandma.  Talk about good planning.  Had so much fun chasing these four around the park!  We had outfit changes, location changes and then lollipops!  Lots of fun!

Speaking of Christmas… I will be putting up mini-session dates for Christmas cards this year VERY early… like probably sometime this month or next.  Last year, it got pretty crazy and I was very stressed trying to get everyone’s cards done in time— so we’re going to plan ahead!  If you have had a session (of any kind) with me in the past, you are going to have first dibs on the Christmas mini-sessions– which will all be done before November this year!  If you have never used me, and are interested in Christmas Cards, send me an email.  It’s hard to get to know a child in 30 minutes, so the best idea would be to book a full session and have one “holiday outfit” in mind for the cards towards the middle of the session.  Just wanted to get you all thinking!  :)

Ok… now for the pics!

ENJOY:

I love the group shots because the kids were refusing to look towards all of the adults… instead they were just doing their own thing.  When I told Cate’s mom to try to get her to stop sucking her thumb, she said, “That’s ok… that’s Cate”… have to love that type of mom!!!

coxtwins-1

This “newborn” session was nonstop… (as in nonstop poo-poo’s and pee-pee’s!)… No… not really…. just on Grandma and Mama!   These ADORABLE twin boys were born a little early, so we had to wait for them to get home and get some meat on their  bones before we had their session.  So– they are “sort-of” newborns!  And they sort-of didn’t want to sleep!  We finally got them to snooze– and they looked like angels.  

ENJOY:

Notice how they are holding hands…. so sweet:

And a few individual shots in my new swing… I wish they both would have fit— need to look into a double wide!  :)

  • 2 farah: spectacular!!! nadine and norah are in awe of their aunt boo-boo's photography. we just went through the blog and website. they are jealous of the kids that got red lollipops!!! great job as always! (20.07.09, 03:14PM)
  • 3 Donna: Nice job. Love the first B/W - They are both great - but I really like the positioning w/ baby resting head on arm and little hand/fingers more around front on #1. So sweet. Not as easy as it looks - I know. :-) I saw together in color on this blanket posted below and love it! (21.07.09, 06:51PM)
