hatchling O + his family

yesterday i introduced you to baby Henry and now you get to meet his (only slightly) older cousin, Oliver!!  this sweet boy was another one who was just not interested in sleeping during his shoot...kinda tough when you have a sister who's a little ball of excitement roaming around the house! he was so expressive for only being two weeks old, guess he already knows that he needs to have a big personality to fit into this awesome family!! :)

Big sister Lucy was another one who didn't seem overly interested in having a new brother, but didn't mind giving him a little poke to show him who's boss! she's such a happy girl, i know ollie is going to have so much fun chasing her around when he gets bigger! if he's lucky she might even teach him 'what the fox says', haha, goosie-girl, you brighten my day :).


don't even get me started on their hair! i can't get enough! oliver's wispy fine strawberry locks and lucy's tightly wound perfect curls are mesmerizing...even the trees in the neighborhood were jealous :).


so glad we finally found time to get this beautiful family in front of my camera! congrats guys!! xo!

hatchling H + his family

oh sweet little newborn babies, how i love capturing some of your first moments of your life here with us! i'd gladly jump out of bed early every saturday morning to spend some quiet hours with this new little fella!

baby henry was born just about a week before halloween and on his ninth day of being a cute little cuddle bug, i had the opportunity to capture some fun shots of him and his family! henry decided that being a model was far more exciting than sleeping...even after extra feedings and rocking and white noise...so i stuck with the lifestyle shooting style rather than persuading him into too many poses, and i'm just so happy with how they came out! he's already pretty inquisitive, just like his big brother so i think he'll fit in just fine :).






once ben woke up from his nap (in his new big boy room!), we ventured outside to soak up some beautiful fall sun. just proves you don't have to venture far from home to get some lovely pictures!! the happiness of this new family of four just oozes out of this photo, i love it!! :)


a day in the backyard isn't complete without a little yard work!


while ben's not overly interested in his newest family member yet, his gentle nature lends for some sweet moments whenever we asked him to give henry some kisses.  can't wait to watch these little boys grow up to be best friends! xo!
