Can you hear the giggles?  What fun I had on my "playdate" with V. and H. Their laughter and joie de vivre was contagious.  Here's a quick sneak peek for the P. family--enjoy!  I have more images than words today as I'm heading out of town this evening to California for a few days.  All e-mails and calls will be returned when I come back next week, and a special mini-session announcement will be made then as well.

Thank you once again, P. family!  It was a pleasure to meet you!

And who could forget Buddy, who kindly sauntered up at the end of the session and asked for his portrait? : ) 

All of my clients are having babies--it's so wonderful! The best part of all?  I get to spend a few hours cuddling these adorable babies and then . . . I return home and get a good night's sleep. : )  

Remember the cherry blossom baby and her big brother N.? Their sister has arrived, making the P. family a party of five.  Family and sibling images to come, but for this blog post the spotlight is just on lovely Miss C., who made quite a dramatic entrance into the world. I see Oscars in her future. : )  Here are a few highlights from her session at the natural light studio in Wayne. (psst . . . for my first group of workshop attendees in early May, the P. family is the one who graciously hosted us for the "real home" session.)

It truly seems like just yesterday that I photographed W. as a newborn and at six months.  How is it possible that he is one already?  It was so wonderful to see you again, P. family!  Here's a small sneak peek for you.

Just a little over a month ago I photographed adorable twin one-year-old boys in the studio and yesterday I met yet another dynamic one-year-old duo.  I am doubly (or, um, quadruply??? don't cringe, my fellow grammar-loving friends) blessed!  We captured so many lovely images of these two on-the-go little guys (and yes, even some together! :)) but here is a but a small sneak peek for E. and K.  It was wonderful to meet you!

I love the image on the right . . . though it could easily be cropped to focus on one of these adorable guys, I just love the "man down!" aspect of seeing a brotherly lump in the foreground.  Because let's face it, when you are raising twin boys, it's probably an hourly occurrence that one is down while the other is up. : )

What a great day it was outside yesterday morning, too. Perfect for flying or just a little rest.  Thanks again, H. family!

Psssst . . . photographer friends . . . have you been to the WordSmith blog lately?  A new goody is in the shop!  Stay tuned for more guides to come this summer, plus a new JSP blog as well as a super-secret new site (our last blog post gives a hint!).
