Ok, so it’s finally come to this. Have to squish two families into one post. My friend Sharon asked me a few weeks back if I was going to be able to post everyone’s pictures in time for the holiday rush…and the answer is yes, but only if I double up here and there. While I love to and would rather give everyone their own time in the spotlight, if I need to get everyone’s pictures posted, some of you are just going to have to share! So, in no particular order here come the bis family and the new gil baby.

First, the bis family.

If mom looks vaugely familiar to you, it’s because she looks a ton like her sister (that would be the did family from July). Met them at their house on a very rainy day for a family shoot. Another gorgeous bunch (how are my clients so good looking??!!) with great, sweet, cooperative kids. We did manage to sneak in a few outside shots between the raindrops.

Can’t you just hear her giggling?

Loved the decor in the house. Which was good, cause we were inside for a lot of the shoot.

Thanks, bis family. It was such a pleasure meeting you all!

Next, on to the gil baby.

You will remember mom and dad from their last appearance on the blog as bride and groom earlier in the year. They just welcomed the newest member of their family, James aka PorkChop. This baby was so cute, and so chunky (love me some baby rolls), weighing in at 9lbs, 3oz and measuring 22.5″ at birth!!! His nickname is well deserved, no?

Mom STILL looks fantastic as always- these pictures were just 10 days after birth (c-section no less). They are both so totally enamored with this new little life. I was so glad to be there to capture him in all his tiny hugeness.

Delicious little boy & girl twins! Although technically 6 months old (3.5 months adjusted age) they were still pretty newborn squishy, which I just love. They were sweet and so good and easy.

Big sister is settling in with the babies- she’s had a tough few months. She really wasn’t too interested in getting her picture taken (with or without the twins), but we managed to sneak in a few anyway.

It’s the babies’ Christening this weekend (the pictures are part of the favor- mom bought some pretty picture frames) so getting these up just in time! Nothing but happiness on your special day and in your bright shiny futures!

Another new baby in my parents building that I was asked to take pictures of. That building is welcoming so many new babies over the last few months, with more to come in the fall. It’s a busy place! So here he is…a real cutie and a big ol’ meatball. His mom is just gorgeous and looks absolutley fantastic. The baby was only 3 weeks old at the time of the shoot, but really seemed much older. He had awesome head control and was super strong. And apparently, the baby is not a sleeper. He was awake for a good part of the session (and most of the night, mom said) and it took quite a bit of doing and whipping out all the tricks to get him to sleep. We finally did and he was nice enough to stay that way for a good long while (although, I don’t know if he stayed sleeping after I left- I hope he did N!)

His dad is from Croatia and he was sporting his first Croatian soccer jersey. So cute!

I’m sure you will remember this fantastic family with new twin boys and a gorgeous little girl from their shoot about two months ago. They are one of my ‘growing up squared’ plan families, so you will get to see them two more times after this shoot. Which is great, cause they are so cute!

The twins have filled out a bunch since their last shoot where they were only a little over a week old. They are developing their own personalities and sooooo close to smiling. Can’t wait to catch that next time! And sad but true, I have a hard time telling them apart. You would think oas a twin mom myself, I should be able to, but I really can’t. Plus the fact that they are fraternal and honestly do look different just makes it that much more pathetic on my part!

Mom is looking fantastic and big sister is as beautiful as ever. And although she really didn’t want to hold the boys, we did have some fun- the two of us hanging out in the giant bathtub in mom & dad’s bathroom. Seriously. There was some great light in there and I just couldn’t pass it up. See…

Well, a part of the rey family anyway! This adorable family lives in my parents building and just welcomed their newest son recently. Mom is also a professional cake maker (she made my parents beautiful and delish wedding cake in May) so she’s got great creative vision. Both boys were totally adorable and the older son ended up giving me some kisses in the middle of the shoot- heartbreaker!

The giant blocks were a big hit (for me anyway), and the big brother thought it was hilarious to see his baby brother in the little wagon. He pulled him around the room a little but we were all a little panicked about that cause he didn’t get the “go slow” thing.

The baby just loved being outside and taking in all the sights. It was about a thousand degrees out, so he was all toasty in just his diaper.
