Saturday, March 2nd, 2013I absolutely adore this family and have since the moment I met them in a Starbucks over a year ago to chat about doing a possible newborn photography session for them. But that seems like ages ago now.. their twins have already celebrated their first birthday and I figured I best hurry up and share their 7 month pictures already before I get their latest 1 year sesh back from the lab (what can I say, I’m super behind on my blogging these days).
And looking back at these pictures even seems like so long ago.. I remember we all came up with this genius plan to take them to the park and do photos of the kids in the leaves, and so we walk over there together, it’s a perfect cloudy day, every one looks great.. and for the life of us we could not get the two’s attention on anything but the leaves (and putting them in their mouth ha!). At the time, we were all so bummed out we didn’t get a great shot of them both looking and smiling at the camera for their holiday card, but now when I look at the photos all I can do is laugh thinking about the whole situation. It was great, and I hope that mom & dad always think back to how fun and ridiculous it was just as much as I do 
Thanks so much guys for letting me a part of your family’s first year together, and for always being such a treat to photograph and spend time with XO

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012… as in, “sha-vee.” As in, short for Xavier. And clearly, this little guy is just as sweet as his name
I actually ended up visiting baby Xavi and his family three times – once at the end of fall before he was born and then twice again when he was 9 and 10 days old (the latter has become quite routine for our baby sessions during the winter months as there is a very limited window of good natural light this time of year.. *shakes fist at midwest weather gods*). Although it was more my pleasure than anything to return again and again as I have really enjoyed getting to know Xavi’s parents and am so thankful that a friend referred them to me! They made me many amazing cups of coffee to keep me going and during feedings we chatted about all sorts of things including their love for cycling, great books (anything Malcolm Gladwell is a ‘to-read list’ must!), how they met, where they grew up.. well, you get the idea 
Anyway here are some of my faves from those two days of visits. Thank you so much again K&B for inviting me out to not only capture your journey to parenthood but for being so amazing, kind and hospitable to us! xoxo

Saturday, January 7th, 2012Oh I just had the best time ever with these two ‘Little’ munchkins! As soon I walked in the door, twin 2-year olds R & E came right up and dumped their tin box full of toy cars onto the floor at my feet to play. I knew we would get along just fine An hour and a half later I was sweatin’ my tush off trying to keep up with them, they were just full of energy, love and laughter! Just as mom had described them to me, R was girly and sweet… a little ballerina who loved to gracefully leap around the room. She also was totally the boss and kept careful watch over her brother E, who is ‘a rough and tumble kind of kid.’ He totally digs cars like most little boys his age and though shy at first, was such a little lover! Needless to say I couldn’t wait to come back and photograph their baby sister whose newborn session I just had not long ago (check out her session, she looks JUST like the twins). Anyway, thanks again to R&E for making it an awesome morning and making me feel like I’m two years old again Congrats again on your new baby sister!
