Happy Mother’s Day!

To the mom who carried twins to full term while raising three other crazy little kids and then continued to carry us both (I'm sure we both weighed more here than all the camera gear I carry at a wedding. Moms just have arms of steel, you know).

To the mom who taught me a love of photography by taking me into a dark room at the tender age of 14. Where would I be without you?

And to the mom who forced me to learn how to cook and become awesome at it (um, due to not cooking amidst college classes and raising 5 kids) and to always use real butter and make brownies from scratch.

I love you Mom!

Happy March!

Raise your hand if you can't believe it's already March! Who's excited for Spring to get here? Claire is!

Portrait of a child…in 17 seconds

Unamused. Extremely so.

We got her!

I had a few minutes to visit my brothers family back in December, most of which were spent taking pictures of Halle. I wish I remember now what we did to make her smile, but that first picture cracks me up.

Little Miss Sass

If you know Tessa, you know she is the epitome of sassy! It took quite the effort to get her dressed in what her mom and I wanted her in (I've never met a child with such a strong obsession preference for clothes). I think we were all a little relieved when Max turned out to be a boy since he'd have to be a very strong little girl to compete with a big sister like Tessa . But wow, those blue eyes and that crazy curly hair of hers make for some darling pictures!

I love how red her lips look; I think it's from being chapped due to the winter air, but it sure looks cute!

Can't believe my little chica is already 4 years old!

He Melts My Heart

Crazy to think that this little guy was the same one that I watched come into this world the day I graduated last year! He was much more wrinkly and old-man-ish back then. He is such a perfect baby; he'll eat anything, entertain himself for hours, and never gets frustrated when he's working on something (such as pulling out everything from the bottom shelf of the freezer while mom is putting away groceries). Not to mention those California-surfer-boy good looks.

We got these shots RIGHT after he woke up. I wanted to capture that look, bedhead and pj's and all, and since he was still in that just-woke-up daze he sat still for quite some time .
