I loved this session... big brother was so fun and full of energy (as per the age!), and their Mama was so patient and gentle with them the entire session. That makes my job SO much easier!! (Thanks Ashley!! xoxo)
He was so playful, and so much fun. What I'd give, sometimes, to just be able to play in the floor all morning without a care in the world.
He danced and danced. I loved the light coming from behind him while he bopped around. :) And that blur of his arm just gets me.... makes me remember the way he spun around with pure joy. Oh to be a child again -- just for a few moments!
His beautiful little sister was awake, and completely the opposite of her brother (well, this particular morning at least -- I don't know what their Mama might say about most other days!). ;) During the shoot, she was calm and gentle, and so serene. She quietly soaked up the room with her big brown eyes. I adored her.
See the difference between these two? It's quite the same at our house too, I assure you. LOL!
And I wouldn't change that for the world. :)
I was even able to sit down with a few of the kids and have some quickie-shoots. My favorite part of the day!! Take a peek....
And lastly, my own disco babies! :) My husband brought our kids so they could enjoy the festivities too! Parker had a blast, as you can see below.... and Lila, well, Lila was a little sleepy (aka needing her Mama). And since Mama had to work, we compromised. I can't tell you how much I adore 
Parents, your slideshow gallery of the day will be posted to my site in just a couple of days. Those of you who provided your email address will receive an alert from me when the gallery goes live.... the rest of the parents in attendance, just check the blog here in a couple of days for your link. For now, enjoy the preview!
I have always loved the soft light in her room. It makes for such dramatic black and whites... right up my alley, you know!!! ;)
Such a fun way to end the day. Although their Baby Plan has ended, I hope I get to photograph this little gal and her adoring parents for years to come.
Intern, really, since I'm not paying her. She's a little bossy and demanding for her first few days on the job, but I think she'll work out just fine. ;) I've already got her answering emails for me, and I'll be teaching her all about Photoshop tomorrow.
She takes several lunch breaks, too many potty breaks (both of which require help from her, ahem, manager, of course), and even falls asleep on the job. Good thing she's cute, otherwise I may have already had to fire her. :)
Lila has actually been sick for the past few days. (Which is why she's been at my desk with me! Sick babies need their Mamas, don't they?) I believe she's got a tooth (or three) getting ready to burst through. Love her heart, she's miserable! Fever, tears, swollen gums and no interest in food -- that last one was my first red flag, LOL! (This girl loves to eat, as you can tell from these images.) So, anyhow, Lila has been either on my hip, in the sling, or my lap for the past 36+ consecutive hours. All the while crying and whimpering and burying her sweet little head into my shoulder. All I know is, thank goodness for Tylenol and teething tablets. And those frozen foods and numerous cold things to chew on! 
So my apologies if you've received a strange email from me (or, um, my rogue assistant) or received an email from me in lieu of a phone call. Chances are, my child was screaming in the background and I was trying to spare you the trauma. ;) I've got a few galleries that are set to go up in the next couple of days, so I had better get back to finishing those up. Before my assistant tries to pull the midnight shift with me again. LOL!
