At least that's what I call them. She's 3 now and he's a whopping 6 months. Getting bigger and more like little humans before my very eyes. And yours, as it were. Love you guys. :)

And yep, I totally had them haul this chair out on the front lawn.

He says "word'.

People ask me if I get the 'baby fever' when I photograph newborns or when my friends and family have babies. My answer is almost always a solid 'Sortof'. Its not necessarily that I want my own babies, its that I want everyone else to keep having babies so I can keep taking pictures of their teeny little faces. I love love love babies but I still don't think its in the cards for me. On that note, everyone else out there can have allllll the babies they want, and then call me to take their pictures. :)

Little Daphne is a first for my friends Sam and Sarah and I'm the lucky girl who got to photograph her at just a week old! You cannot look at these photos and tell me you don't want to just snug those squidgy cheeks! Darling little muffin also stayed away for our whole session and REALLY disliked being on her tummy. A quick cuddle from mom and dad and all was well again. And that's as it should be.

 

You know, I don't get asked to shoot babies much. And that's a damn shame because I so love tiny, squishy, grunty babies. They seem to love me too. My mom is fabulous with babies and I like to think that some of that passed on to me. Just let me think that, ok?

Anyone that knows me well will tell you that I'm not too keen on having kids of my own, but who needs their own with all the new little bundles around! I'm an EXCELLENT Aunt Stephanie. Really.

This is Max. He's got skinny little arms and legs and fights sleeping like no other infant I've seen. Trooper was awake our whole session!



This is the front of the announcements I put together for Max. If a baby yawning doesn't melt your heart.... then... you've just got an unmeltable heart!
