Lily & Benjamin | Little Rock, AR Family Photographer

Sweet Lily welcomed baby brother Benjamin to the world 5 weeks ago. I couldn’t wait to meet him and get some snuggles in. He is still so tiny and such a love. And it is always a treat to get to see Lily and play catch up with her momma. I spent a lot more time talking than I did taking pictures. But that is one of the reasons I love getting to do so many sessions with this adorable family. That and the kids are so ridiculously cute. Love.

If your first question is, “Did that mom seriously have a baby 5 weeks ago?” The answer is a simple yes. Yes, she did. Katherine, you look amazing, as always.

We really tried to get Lily to smile right when I got there, but I have to admit, this pouty look kills me.

Can I just say that I love this simple image of Lily? The things in life that I love the most are the little quirks that make each of us unique. These traits are especially darling in children. If Lily has a pacifier in her mouth, she ALWAYS has another one in her hand that she rubs. Her mom says sometimes she has a whole bunch, but always at least one in her hand. I love that. One day she is going to be big and these memories will start to fade, but not when you have it captured forever. I love that she is curled up on her momma’s lap still being the baby that she is. Little love bug.

When I was approached about this session, I knew right away that there was a potential for a wild and crazy session. See, Ella was born just 2 weeks ago and her older siblings are 2 and 4. Anyone can guess that a newborn, 2 and 4 year old could make for a very interesting session. But not these three. They were like little dream clients. First, Ella was asleep the entire time. We could easily position her between the older two or move her around. Wyatt and Olivia opened right up to me. There was really no warm up time. And finally, their parents were present but not overbearing. Unfortunately, I think sometimes we, as parents, sabotage a session by trying to make a 2 and 4 year old act perfectly. But they don’t do that. They are silly and playful and if we don’t fight that, I am able to get true, real life, and beautiful images of your family. Thank you so much to this family for just relaxing and allowing me to do my thing with your kiddos. It was a blast for me and I think they had a pretty good time as well. Enjoy!!!!! I am sharing a lot since they have had to wait so long for a peek. And because I love how this session turned out. My dream home to shoot in – bright white rooms with gorgeous modern white furniture. LOVE! And three beautiful kids make it that much better!

My favorite image in a long time. Love how Wyatt is up front and Olivia is taking care of baby sister. LOVE it.

Let them be silly and you will get fun series like this. A simple game of peek a boo.

Meet 12 day old Alex. He is a beautiful newborn. He desperately wanted to stay awake while I was there, but I knew if we were patient enough, he would finally fall into a deep sleep. And once he did, he was so easy. He let me move him all over the place and we were done very quickly. He has the sweetest disposition and I think he is going to be a very happy and easy baby. I really didn’t mind that he needed a lot of rocking and coaxing to sleep. I got lots of snuggle time! :) Enjoy!!

I think he is going to be a thumb sucker!

A New Year, A New Blog

I finally took the time to get a new blog put together for La La. It is something I have wanted to do for quite some time, but finding the time was not all that easy. But I finally forced myself to get it done and learn how to use a new blog format and I am quite happy with the results. This is where you will now find all of my session sneak peeks and any info that I want to pass along. And because I think every post needs some pictures, here are a few of my favorites from 2010 sessions of January. I have only worked with little girls so far this year!!
