Jonas and Charlotte

Jonas and Charlotte’s parents waited five years for them to make their way into this family!  They were born in May and for Anh’s first mother’s day her husband said she could get anything she wanted.  She wanted something that would last and he suggested a photo shoot!  What a smart, wonderful husband he is :).

Jonas apparently wasn’t comfortable with how I’d posed him initially so stuck out his little hand to prop it under his chin like this.  He cracks me up!  What a sweet little guy.

Charlotte is such a beauty!

At the session I met Jonas and Charlotte’s aunt, grandparents, plus a few others!  How lucky they are to be wanted and loved by so many!

Sam

I loved meeting baby Sam!  He’s the little brother of Stella and I loved seeing how alike they looked.  This is Sam…

and this is Stella!

Another one of Sam…

and a similar one of his big sister.

There are noticeable differences, but they sure are siblings!  Sam calm and easy to photograph just like his big sister.

 

Gavin

I’ve photographed several newborns the last few months who made it to this world a month or two earlier than expected.  Gavin was one of those little guys and I got to photograph him right around his due date, but still newborn sized!  What a handsome little guy he is :).

Kate

Kate is the sweet little girl of one of my best friends here in Houston!  She was born while I was out of town back in January and we did a shoot just a couple of days after I got home.  Crystal found out she was pregnant last year after we spent a day skydiving and then a week getting scuba certified!  The day after our certification dive she took a pregnancy test and we schemed together how to tell her husband.  I was SO excited for this little one to get here :).

Our friend JJ came over to help out and took some fun behind-the -scene pictures with his point and shoot!  I think Crystal was a bit nervous about us taking the diaper off in this next shot!

I love this of these two!  I actually have it printed out and it makes me happy every time I look at it.

She looks so little here!

We were trying to calm Kate here so she was sucking on Crystal’s finger while I patted her on the bum.

At the end of the shoot JJ offered to take a picture of me and Kate so I handed the camera over, picked her up and we got this great shot (despite her looking very suspiciously out the window, I think it’s adorable).  Thanks, JJ!

I love you, Crystal!!  I’m so glad I get to be around to watch Kate grow.

Viviana and Andrew

I got to photograph these sweet twins last March.  Twins are obviously harder than one baby, but these two couldn’t have been much more cooperative than they already were!

I had tried to get Andrew and Viviana to do a particular pose with their parents, but they were not having it, so I decided to try this instead and was much happier!  I think they just knew how cute they were going to look in mom’s arms.

This next pose was their idea!  It turned out so cute.

Congratulations!  Hope they’re growing well and you’re both getting some sleep :).
