Girls with the most cake

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

There are certain rites of passage when you turn the “Big One” which include silly party hats, a first-ever slice of cake (preferably chocolate!) and a massive clean-up. It was no exception for these seriously sweet (even before the cake) twin sisters. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing these little pixies since they were three months old, and I’m always in awe of how fast and furious babies become infants become toddlers. It’s like you blink and they’re standing up and asking you for more juice, please.

I wish these little big girls many, many happy returns, and a second year full of wonder and joy and all good things. So glad I thought to get the family portrait pile-up *before* the cake was served — ha! Thanks again to our local interior design guru and hip-kids style maven Nancy Breslin and her lovely family for allowing me to catch all the fun and excitement that a first birthday brings!

Big sister, little sister

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Sometimes things just click, you know what I mean? And I felt the “click” with these sisters before I even snapped my first image. What terrifically sweet and happy girls who know how to have a heck of a lot of fun!

I was excited to see the beautiful light we had indoors and out, and a very warm fall day to boot. I really love that we could mix up locations to tell the whole story of Miss C. and Miss M.

Round and around and around she goes…where she stops…nobody knows…

…until big sister finally catches up with her for a tickle…

…and a quiet moment.

Then it’s outside to make some holiday wishes with mom’s mums (thanks mom!). A very big thanks again to these sweet girls, mom and dad for a whirlwind session. I could have kept going all day : )  So looking forward to our next session…can’t wait!

Holiday mini-sessions—finally!

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Okay, to interrupt the chirping cricket soundtrack that’s been looping on my blog lately, I’m happy to finally be rolling out some previews from the holiday mini-sessions. Thanks so much to all the families who are staying flexible about the schedule for what I think is one of the moistest falls we’ve had in a long time. Don’t get me wrong, I love rain—seriously—but it doesn’t always make for great portraits. So glad that we had a streak of sunny days to get these portraits made! There’s still a little time left for you to book yours. I’ve extended the holiday mini-sessions through next weekend, Sunday, November 8. Catch the fall colors while they last!

…and I do love a mom who knows just when to turn on “the tickle.”

So glad to have met you both, and thanks for a super-enjoyable, easy, (literally) breezy mini-session!

I don’t think it possible for this family to be any more genuinely happy. At one point, I just had to ask, “Are you guys for real?!” I’m here to tell you the answer is a resounding “Yes!” It was my pleasure to bask in the glow of all this family love, and as luck would have it, on a glowing sunny afternoon. A tribute to you all.

I personally think that happy parents make for happy kids, and this session was no exception. And special thanks to dad for helping to make those smiles shine from behind the camera (just how you did it will be out little secret!).

I think these smiles say it all. Thank you all again for a really wonderful holiday mini-session. It was so very nice to get to know you!
