Oh Oh Oh, the Sweetest Thing(s)

I have to tell you, when I found out my sister was having twins, my first thought was wow, that’s going to be tough.  My second thought, though, was I can’t wait to take pictures of those babies!

After a couple weeks in the NICU, these two are finally home and adjusting to life.  Well, actually, I think they’ve adjusted….my poor sister and brother-in-law are the ones adjusting!  Last week I finally was able to have the session I’ve been thinking about for almost a year.  And, oh my goodness, let me tell you…I love these two.

Meet Luke:

And now Blake:

Yes, it’s official.  I could eat them up.

I bought these hats for them from Sweet Pea Hats before they were born.  I’ve had this shot in mind for a while now.  I may be biased, but I love it.

What is it about baby toes? I just can’t get enough of them.  {And yes, Matt, they unfortunately got our families “finger toes.”}

Blake and Luke, I love you so much already.  I can’t wait to watch you grow up.  Thanks for being so good for our session!  Hugs and Kisses.

***And if these two don’t need an “If you think I’m cute, you should see my aunt” t-shirt, I don’t know who does.  Wouldn’t you agree?

The New Men in My Life

Two days ago my little sister went into labor and brought two little guys into the world.  These photos are through plastic and with terrible lighting but I still think they are the most beautiful photos of even more beautiful babies.  {Of course, I am aware that I might be a little biased.}

I am so proud of my sister and these two already.  They have a little more growing to do before they are allowed home but with so much good care and love, I don’t think it will be too long.

First is Luke:

s…t…r…e…t…c….h….

And now Blake:

Daddy’s hand with little Luke:

Luke and Blake, I love you both so much.  Grow quickly and come home soon.

Akron Infant Photography {V Sneak Peek}

There is something about a baby that just melts your heart…

and {Baby V} is no different.

Ten tiny fingers…

…and ten tiny toes…

…one pouty mouth and an adorable nose.

Check out that hair…

And his smile…so sweet…

…good night and sleep tight {Baby V}.

Thanks {S} & {M}.  I loved meeting your little guy and look forward to watching him grow up.

A Gift for Christmas {Baby A Sneak Peek}

I met the {C} family under the worst of circumstances.  I was called in May of last year for NILMDTS to photograph their son who wouldn’t survive.  Somehow through it all they remained people of hope.  Everyone’s hearts were broken but there was a peace surrounding them that was beautiful.  I hadn’t seen them for almost two years but my thoughts travelled to them from time to time.

Then, about weeks ago I got a call.  The {Cs} were having their second baby.  Could I be there to photograph her in the hospital?  My heart filled with joy for them and the blessing I knew this little one would be.

I didn’t make it for her birth but the next day I was ready with camera in hand.  This little girl is perfect in every way.  Look at that head of hair!

Don’t you get the sense she is wise beyond her years days?

Look at the way she is looking up at her mommy.  So sweet….like she’s in the safest place in the world.

There is something about this bashful expression that makes me grin.

Congratulations {C} Family.  I couldn’t be happier for you.
