...These brothers were such naturals in front of the camera...

...And yes, I know, another fantastic looking family...

...and no, they are not models...not yet at least...if you are an agent, you better hurry...

...And it was their mom's birthday the day of the photo shoot and what a perfect way to spend it: with her boys and dad & capturing those moments forever in photos...

...And they were game for whatever, so we just walked around and got to know one another...

...I love that...I love getting to know my clients...

...The trees, I think the cottonwoods, were shedding near the river and it almost looked like it was snowing...(see the last photo)...it was really amazing...until it got in your eyes, nose and mouth...but  it was still really amazing...

...and of course, I had the hardest time narrowing down the images for the post...as there are so many more that will be in their private gallery...so, I saved some of my favorites as surprises for their gallery...

...but enjoy these as you can see a little of what we did that morning...

Okay...I don't even know really what to say...this photo shoot was SO much fun...It took place at the Glacier Club and it was the perfect day...This family was so laid back (and absolutely not-fair-gorgeously-stunning) and just trusted me completely to photograph my way & to do what I do...I am honored they chose me to photograph their family...I am always honored when a family chooses me...It is so special when they allow me into their home and are so warm and welcoming and excited for me to take photographs of them...how lucky am I? Seriously...

...They brought out the works too: horse swing, tennis, basketball, baseball, longboards, jump ropes, bubbles, ice cream with sprinkles, swimming pool...phew...they love everything! It was fantastic!

...and I had the hardest time narrowing these images down to just a few as there are SO many more, but I decided to leave the majority as surprises for their gallery...

...I love all of the images so much that they are going to be a featured gallery on my website...so you can see the entire session soon too & I will let you know when it is ready to view...

...Here are a few of my favorite images that show a little insight into the day we had...

...and p.s.: these sisters have the best sibling bond ever...It made my heart melt to see them love each other so very much as I thought of my own daughters and how they might be like this when they are that age...and I can only imagine how protective these cuties will be over their little brother (who was way too cute for words)...oh boy~watch out...

...To their mom & dad:  your gallery will be ready soon...enjoy this sneak peek of your little cutie pies! Wait until you see the rest too...you are gonna LOVE them...and the basket shot is amazing...don't you hate that I am teasing you so much...I just couldn't dare post more as I have to save them for your full gallery...I am so mean...and I think you are definitely going to have a hard time deciding...:)...definitely...especially since I did...

This family was TOO stinkin' cute, okay...TOO stinkin' gorgeous....

I had so much fun with them as soon as I stepped into their home...

Little ~p~ and Little ~n~ were hilarious and were SO into having their photos taken... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT!

We did just about everything you could do...played hungry hungry hippo, read books in their rooms, jumped on all the beds, chased the cat, played basketball, rode the bicycle-skateboard & scooter, jumped on the trampoline, played in the play house, slid down the slide, played on the swings...what am I missing?...?...I know there was something else too...They have so much energy...WOW...

...And I was so sore when I arrived at the photo shoot as I had a very intense workout session that morning, so I really had to step it up when I realized what I was in for...

And their mom is so sweet & way too beautiful...you can see how much they love each other too...

That is what I love about my job so much...I get to get a little sneak peek into a family's life and capture that moment...the love, the joy, the laughter...All of it...The hugs, the holding hands, those "looks" that kids give their parents...you know the one I am talking about...:)...They are all what make a family...How am I so lucky? I am so grateful families let me into their lives to do this for them...It is amazing...

And I have SO many more images that I want to post, but I want them to be a surprise for their full gallery...oohhhh...can't wait!!

This little guy (8 days old) was just way way too precious...perfect little lips, perfect long fingers & toes...and the cutest head of hair...

And I think he liked me as he would fall asleep when I moved him to a new blanket or wrap... His parents were so great about me moving him too...

I love that they trusted me...I love holding newborn babies too...they are just so~well, no words can really describe how perfect they are~

Little "b" has the most wonderful family~he is such a lucky little guy...his mom is hilarious by the way-I just adore her, I always have...

I had such a great afternoon with this lovely family...I can't wait for them to see their entire gallery...

Mwwaaaa to this new family of three....xoxo-h

Oh my goodness....this little one just stole my heart...I love my job so much...

First, her mom and dad are simply adorable and beautiful (so is little "e" naturally then)...I seem to have the most gorgeous clients...seriously, I do...

Second, little "e" has the most a-ma-zing nursery I have ever seen...her mom has an eye for design for sure... (she is the talented creator of Layers Cake Design (wedding and special occasion cakes)...love..love..love... her cakes...

Third, I can't wait to get my favorite photo from this session on a huge gallery wrapped canvas....I have a few upcoming gallery displays around town and will keep everyone posted when and where....I am so excited...

So, you will have to go and visit the displays downtown to see what photo I will be putting up....yay!

I just love newborns and I love that I get to photograph this fleeting time in their lives...it is such an honor....isn't little "e" just the sweetest most perfect baby ever...

p.s. I had the hardest time narrowing down my favorite pics from this session, so I just decided to post more than just one...  And I am SO excited that they allowed me to take these very intimate shots...it was so much fun...

Love to little "e" and her mom and dad...and I can't wait for you to see the rest of the photos!
