Baby L missed being born on Christmas Day by about 10 minutes, born on the 26th. But what a wonderful and adorable Christmas gift he is.

Since it was the holidays, Papa was in town and we got some shots with both of his Grandkids. This is him with the new big sister, Miss M.E.

I love how she is looking at her new brother so seriously.

And, Baby L. Also looking so serious right at me with those beautiful eyes.

I had so much fun with this family. They were so understanding about the condition of my house. It was so crowded with a mix of my photography things, Christmas toys and all of my Christmas Trees. If you missed my Christmas Tree Tour it is blogged here.

Thank you J Family!!!

First up is the W Family with Baby N.

I did a summer shoot with this family on a lovely 90 degree morning.  Yes when we were done at 10:45 am it had reached 90!  Phew!  You can see them here.

Baby N was born December 17th  and I did a shoot with him and his family but he was not really into it.  I did get some nice family shots.

I have been trying to focus more on the emotion and interaction within the families so I love this shot. Look how every face is naturally showing 100% happiness. Having a husband and child who have perfected the fake and posed smile, I am so jealous of this family picture!

This is Miss R, my future assistant! She took pictures at both shoots. This is a messy behind the scenes shot. Yes that is mayonnaise  and soup holding up the piece of molding.   And I see even more groceries behind the bucket.  Very technical stuff going on here!  Actually, we were in my dining room and right at my pantry.

And I have to show you how adorable baby N is!

And to brag on Mommy for a bit….. she did a “man room” nursery complete with a “bear skin rug” that was made from brown soft fuzzy fabric with big soft paws and a cute bear face. It was adorable!!!
