Sleeping beauty

The very cloudy weather over the holidays meant that baby Fin got two photo shoots!  She was an absolute joy to hold and snuggle and to watch her face light up with a huge smile (which, of course, evaporated the moment the camera came up).  Next time, I've promised her that I will capture her gorgeous grin on camera for all to admire!

Holiday mini session with baby G!

These are from a holiday mini-session a few weeks ago.  We tried to incorporate the dogs into the photo, but I was not successful in getting all five mammals faced in the same direction.  So we went with an abbreviate human-only version of the family photo.  :)

This beautiful little girl is ALL smiles, all the time!  She is such a pleasure to be around.  And the holiday cards are awesome!  Hope you enjoy!

And now that the cards have arrived in everyone's mailboxes, here's the holiday card image.  An homage to the U2: War album cover, only featuring baby G's energy and smile!  This is our third year of holiday cards, and this is the best one yet!  Due in no small part to baby G!  :)

OMG Triplets!!

Photographing triplets is hard...raising them is nothing short of heroic!!

Sooo...this was the hardest I've ever worked and these triplets are the sweetest, most adorable, and patient kids EVER!!!  I feel like I started this photo shoot a child, and left an adult.  It was incredible and they loved my silly hats!!  Thank you to the whole family for making this shoot possible in the 95 degree+ heat!!

My brother's dissertation defense ......and GABRIEL!

My brother successfully defended his dissertation in the fields of Spanish and Second Language Acquisition this morning.  Afterwards, we scooped up his son Gabriel and went out for a family lunch.  Maybe I'm biased because he's my nephew, but man o man - Gabriel is the CUTEST (and he's bilingual!)!  Congrats Rob and Yesennia!!

Question: What do you do when Mama cuts your hair? Answer: (Frowny face)
