Definitely hippity, but not from the Easter Bunny. Nope, these kiddos were much more interested in the tree frog that mom caught and put into a water bottle for them. :) I met them Saturday morning on Little Brother’s 2nd birthday. Have I ever mentioned what it is like photographing kiddos between the age of 18 months – 2 years? It is definitely fun, challenging, but fun. They are certainly off in their own world and want nothing to do with the things you try and bribe them to do. So, instead I follow them around, stalking them if you must, and wait for the rare occasions they sit still for a few minutes. Lol! It is definitely the age that you will capture them at their true state of play. Happy birthday big guy!

There really is such a difference between boys and girls. I don’t care if you have a girl that is the biggest tomboy on this planet. Boys truly are their own species. There really is no other way to describe it. Lol! I got to hang out with this family a couple of weeks ago. Big brother would occasionally stop to pose with his brother and then go off running in circles. I asked him to give his mom a kiss on the cheek and he wanted nothing of it. I ask him to blow a raspberry on her cheek (to make it look like a kiss) and he’s all for spitting all over her face. Hahaha! I often find myself looking at my boys and wondering where in the heck they came from. They can do some of the most strangest things. Wouldn’t trade being a boy mom for the world! Glad to have another mom, like this one, join the club.

I already showed a quick peek of one of the girls from this session on my Facebook page, but really wanted to share some others of all the girls. Yes, girls. Three of them. A perfect compliment to my three boys. Lol! Don’t tell their dad. Again, I was in love with the light from this evening. I absolutely couldn’t get enough of it. :)

After finding out that all my wildflowers were dead and gone, I had to come up with a last minute spot to meet a few other mom’s for some Spring sessions. It turned out being a great location, one I have frequented, but I couldn’t have asked for better lighting on this specific evening. I was in love! Plus I got to play around with this little cutie! We even looked for whales in the small pond that we walked around. Who knew something so big could fit into something so small. It apparently was something that she truly enjoyed because she had to share the news to her dad. Luckily she didn’t spill the beans about meeting to take pictures since these are a birthday surprise for him.

…and you don’t throw a fit! :) I had plans to meet this family outside of Tomball at the great little gem where I took pictures of the family in the wild flowers last week. Just-Last-Week. As in 10 days ago. I show up today, and there are no flowers. None. Luckily for me, they showed up in a relaxed mindset and were as easy going as could be about it. Not only were they easy going, they came with love and happiness just pouring out. It makes my heart jump every time I go back to my computer and see pictures like these.

Just… beautiful! You have a great looking family! Take a peek!

So, this last one was fun. We were at the edge of a busy road and I wanted Mom and Dad to get a picture of just the two of them without stressing out about the kids going in the road. So I kept Little Miss at my side, put Little Man in one arm and one-handed snapped some shots of the love birds. So cute! Definitely worth the work. :)

Another bittersweet session for me. I made the drive over to this sweet little girl’s house knowing it wold be the end of our every-3-month gatherings. Baby girl is 1 year old this week. It was time to embrace it, and she embraced it… the cake that is. Miss {V} is the first baby to actually pick up her entire cake (cakeboard and all) and bring it to her face. Lol!!! So cute!

Happy birthday baby girl!!! Here’s a look at her over the past year.

Now onto her 12 month session. ;) It took a lot of distracting to get her to let go of this duck. Every time I would try to grab it, she would squeeze him as tight as she could. So cute! I had to stick one in there, Mom. You will forget the little things like this.

We originally had plans to meet up somewhere out 290 to do an urban session ending in the Bluebonnets. Well, an hour before the session I got a call saying that it would be better to change locations, so we found something very last minute and I couldn’t be happier that we did! We didn’t come across any Bluebonnets at our new location, but found plenty of wild flowers to play in.

I sneaked a sneak on Facebook earlier today. Love that kid! He is such a mess. Plenty of running around, jumping around and insisting on throwing some baseballs to me at the end of the session. I missed way more than he did. :)

I had such a hard time picking pictures to show on the blog, but think I have narrowed it down enough. Lol!

Enjoy the peak!

I am so excited for this couple as they near the end of their pregnancy. They are expecting their first baby and a little girl at that. Mom is glowing in these last couple of months and you can tell how nurturing dad is following her every move. So cute to watch!

We headed out to a nearby park to enjoy the beautiful Spring weather. It was a tad windy, but we made it work. ;)

I am so excited to get the call that Baby Girl is here! See you soon!

I know, I know. I am not supposed to be doing sessions until March, BUT I do have clients that are on a Baby Plan, so I couldn’t resist the chance to go out and see Little Miss {V} since she is now 9 months. I know I probably say this about every age, but 9 months is one of my absolute favorite months to photograph! This is the time that they are not only interactive with you, but they have become mobile. Every baby is different in their own way. Well, this little one has finally started crawling in what we call “the normal way” because before that she would scoot on her little tush all over the place. I love it! She did it during our session and it is one of the cutest things I have ever seen.

I sadly await our next session when we do her Smash the Cake session. It will be messy and blissful, but also bittersweet since it will end our every-3-month gatherings.

Take a peek!

Already committed to her studies. :)

Wow! What a busy holiday season it turned out to be! I am so pleased to have such a great clients (repeat and new). I loved getting to meet all of the new babies (and spend a few hours with them).

Here is last month in a glimpse!

First up! Here is a beautiful little boy. Mom and Dad are first time parents and I was so amazed with how natural they were and at ease, even with little {K} being their first. Congrats, Mom and Dad!

Now on to {T}. You have definitely seen this cutie before. Here he is at 9 months, and again, WOW on his eyes! I did not do any special editing to this kids eyes.

Yes, no hands! What’s up?!

Rarrrrrr!

Then I witnessed a birth! You will see this doll-face’s newborn pics later in this post. Welcome Baby {A} and congrats Mom and Dad!

Next up was a family I had already met before. Actually I hadn’t met Dad yet. I was so pleased to take things outdoors. Older brother is so energetic and it was the perfect atmosphere for his little personality to shine though. What a fun family. Plus I have a special place in my heart for Mom as I know exactly what she is going through. Her boys are just as close in age as my older two. :)

Cheese sandwich anyone? Lol!

My next session is of a growing family. Well, I should say the kids are growing. :) Not sure there will be any new additions. Lol! I was lucky to be invited over to the {G} house to take pictures of her kids and grandkids.

Love the shocked look!

My next family session as actually of a good friend of mine. She has joined the crew of being a boy mom and I love her to pieces! Here is her family, Mom and her sister’s family. This first one is one of my favorites! Look how happy Grandma is!

The next day I headed into to town to meet Mom and Dad to take pictures of {I}. He is turning 1, so we decided to bring along a cake and do a Smash the Cake Session. One of my favorite things when doing these sessions is how the babe is going to react to the cake. They either dig right in or want nothing to do with it. He wanted nothing to do with it. Actually, the only reason he got as messy as he did was because he kept trying to get away from the cake and would stick his foot/leg in it in the process. So cute!

Life of a 1 year old is so rough!

Maybe?

Negative!

So, fast forward a week or so. I ended up doing a couple family session right before and right after Christmas since they had family in town. You have seen one of the kids from this group many times before. She has become quite tubby and I just adore her!

I love the chaos in this picture! Reminds me of my life at home with my boys. Hahaha!

Now onto the influx of more babies! These two yummy girls were actually born 2 months early, and it took a while before getting settled in before I could head over there. My first set of newborn twins.

Love, love, love tiny toes!

I promised Dad that I would capture the only way you could tell the girls apart. The nurses pointed this out to them AFTER the girls were already names. Crazy! Meet Baby {A}. Check out the shape of her ear (kind of forms and A).

Now meet Baby {S} and check out her ear!

Okay, the next day I tackled two sessions. Whew! First I got my hands on yet another newborn. He looks like such an old man!

Let me just start out by saying that before I came, older brother was still a little tripped out by having a baby around and was really reluctant to go near him once he came home. Very typical at his age. So, we started out by playing around and by the end of the session he was very goo around him. One thing he was absolutely unsure about was Baby {G}’s umbilical cord. So, here he is showing his button off.

I started playing “This Little Piggy” with Big Bro and wouldn’t you know… he starting doing it to his Baby Brother.

A brotherly poke in the butt!

Yet more tiny toes!

From that session I rushed back over to Cypress to meet up with this fab family!

Then, to put an end to a really great year in 2010… another yummy newborn. I promised I would show you her pics!

Now a glimpse of this poor mom’s chaotic life. Has to be one of my favorite’s from 2010. Dad is sneaking glimpses at the football game on the tv and Little {K} is not really wanting to be in the picture, broken arm and all.

Thank you again for an awesome year! I cannot wait to see what this year brings!
