the b girls - 3 months

Here are the B girls at just four sweet weeks.

Let's not forget their equally sweet (and totally adorable) big sister, K. 

Remember, she's just 21 months old.

And here are her little sisters at 3 months old. 

Yikes, how time flies!!

(make sure your sound is up!!)

The past couple of weeks here have been nothing but dreary and rainy.

I decided to embrace it instead of letting it get me down.

Ingredients:

1 pair of new rain boots.

1 yellow skirt which I let my daughter pick out

1 rain puddle (luckily in front of a friend's house)

1 borrowed umbrella

and add a sprinkle of friends for some extra fun!

Remember these three sweet things?

Here is their older sister!

Yes, Ms. K is 21 months old. Yep, not even two

and she's got three three month old sisters. 
Can you say crazy fun in her household?!

hang on to your pigtails, more to come with her little sisters!

Remember this sweet little man? He belongs to some recent-made friends. They trusted me

enough to come just two weeks after he was born. Being nervous first-time parents

they warned me he was cranky when he wasn't sleeping. So, I was 

preparing myself for a difficult shoot. However, I'm not

sure if they were talking about this quite, cooperative baby boy.

He was a perfect gentleman the entire time and didn't react to hardly any 

of the set ups. 

 It was also the first time I was able to get a dad in pictures AND both parents.

The shoot was definitely a treat for me!

I love this next picture because it tells a story.
As we were setting up for a shot I happened to notice,
what I thought, was a violin case on the floor. I asked Aiden's
mom if one of them played it. She told me it was a ukulele 
and Aiden's dad indeed plays it. He had played it while little
Aiden was still cooking in his momma's tummy.
I knew immediately that we had to incorporate it
somehow. I loved that it was very personal to them and part of their personality.


It also made me take a mental note that in the future I need to ask would-be clients
if they have any hobby, something personal to incorporate into their photos.

A couple of sneak peaks for this sweet boy's momma and daddy,

 who are equally as sweet!

i heart faces contest: "anything but a face"

OMG! I'm entering my first contest with the below picture.

The theme is “Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes…Anything But A Face!”

I decided to enter the contest because... well, why not?? I have nothing to loose, right?! 

I chose this picture because it captures my daughter at 18 months old and one of her favorite activities, playing in water.

I also love it because of her cute chubby legs. They won't be like that forever so I wanted

to capture them the way I love them! I also like the wet towel that she's holding. That 

sums up her personality. The black and white also makes, for me, that moment timeless.

*** update - I didn't win :( But that's ok. I entered my first contest, which, to me, feels

like a huge step!
