Miss Kate is ONE!!!

Hard to believe it has already been a year since I first photographed little Kate!!!  Here is a sneak peek of Kate's session from this morning:

This may be my favorite! :)  Go Wisconsin!!! :)

 

Such a sweetie...we had to be FAST because apparently, Kate had more pressing things she needed to get done today! ;)

 

I love this...so angelic and sweet!  Little Kate held this same wand as a little newborn...

She looks like a little doll!!!! :)

 

The time came where this little flower needed to be a bit contained....lol!

 

How old is Miss Kate?!  LOVE it!!!  We did a cake smash though Kate wasn't too excited about getting her hands messy...she did some poking with a fork and took a few tastes at the end though! :)

She has THE most amazing eyes!!!

 

One of only a few smiles at the end!! ;)

Lady Evelyn: 11 Days New!

A beautiful little lady came to see me this morning!  She was in a hurry to be born and arrived four weeks early...all 5 pounds of her!! :)  Funny to me that she was 20 inches long at birth!  Wow!  Miss Evelyn was not a big fan of being on her tummy or being moved around...but once she was posed, she was pretty cooperative overall! :)  Here is a sneak peek of Miss Evelyn!

This is seriously the sweetest picture EVER!!!  Hands down my favorite out of the session!  Mama brought the hat and the letter "E" for the pictures and I love it!!! :)  And this was Miss Evelyn's favorite pose...she is a side lying baby! ;)

Something new...I haven't involved parents before and really wished I could have done this with my Lincoln...hard to take pictures and be in them at the same time though! ;)  How SWEET is this?!

 

Not many babies enjoy this basket...but Evelyn was a perfect fit! :) 

 

Hardly anyone fits in this crocheted bowl either...but it was even too big for Evelyn! ;)

 

It took a LONG time to get this shot!  Evelyn would go on her tummy but was not thrilled with having her hands up like this...but my stubbornness paid off! ;)

My three babies! :)

And here they are!  Recent pictures of my three!!!  Three did prove to be a bit more challenging than two, that is for sure! ;) 

Go Brewers!!!!  Besides being excited about the impending Brewer season, Landen and Evy are sooo thrilled to have a little brother!!  That is what they wanted afterall! ;) 

Had to sneak this one in...I really wanted to get Lincoln in this pose! ;)

And a more recent shot of Mr. Lincoln! ;) 

Big smiles for big brother!  This is my favorite! :)

Lincoln started in Landen's lap, but Evy was sooo sad that she wanted to hold Lincoln!  So this was the safest way for him to be in the picture!  Poor little guy...I still love it! :)

There is no flattering way for Lincoln to safely be in a picture at this age...I cannot wait to do belly shots when he gets a little bigger! :) 

The Little Brother...

Sibling love...

The new love of my life (I now have four!!)!! :)

Well, sorry for the long absence!  I was busy expanding my family and getting settled in! ;)  My new little love, Lincoln Everett, was born on January 7th (yes on his due date!).  That makes him 7 weeks old right now and we are finally getting into a routine.  Good thing I have 12 weeks off for maternity leave!!  I took some pictures of my new little man and am still working on editing them, while still taking more pictures of course!  I just took some of my three over the weekend...wow, that was a challenge!  And I am getting back to scheduling some sessions.  I was worried how it would go initially, but now that Lincoln is nursing well and sleeping way more at night, I am excited to try some new things!  Good thing I have some guinea pigs at home! ;)  Here are some of Lincoln! :)  Sorry, I had a hard time choosing! ;)

My overall favorite I think!  It went on his birth announcement! :)

Something about the hands in this one seems so sweet to me!  And the big cheeks! ;)

Lincoln the bear!  Though Landen thinks these ears looks like mouse ears!  I kind of agree with him...

Believe it or not, Lincoln was not the most cooperative little model!  He despised being naked no matter what I tried!  This was when he was just a few days old and my first successful attempt!

Nothing like baby wrinkles! ;)

This is one of my top favorites too! :)  Love the coloring! :)

And here is my Christmas present we bought in November and I finally got to use on my new addition!  I was beyond excited to use it with Lincoln! :)

One of my favorites...I love how newborns curl up their legs like this! :)

The teacup is generally a favorite...NOT for my little man!  This was a very quick pose and we were done!!

I did get a couple! ;)

Lincoln the gnome!  I love it! :)

Loving the red...my sister Katie made all these wonderful hats!!

However, my childhood friend, Valerie, made this "outfit!"  She is amazing!!  If interested in her work, let me know!  She is on facebook and etsy!!

One of my favorites...

The bigger version...

Naked Lincoln! :)

Something sweet about this one...

This was a facebook favorite!  The hat was actually pink and white, but I obviously edited it to make it masculine! ;)

Another favorite!  This went on the annoucement as well!  Okay, it would seem that Blogger doesn't allow more pictures than this, so consider yourselves spared!  Haha!  I will put up another entry with more recent pictures and of all three!!! :)

Lady Kinsleigh: ONE year old!!!

Little Miss Kinsleigh came for a visit this morning...this time her family is preparing for her very first birthday!!!  Wow, did that year fly by quickly!!!  I did Kinsleigh's pictures for the first time when she was six weeks old.  And, if it is possible, she seems to be cuter each time I see her!!  Here is a sneak peek of Kinsleigh:

Kinsleigh is a busy girl now so she had things to do besides have her picture taken!!! ;)  So to distract her, I pulled out my anticipated Christmas present that my daughter and I will share...Glad I did!  This shot of Kinsleigh is priceless!!! :)

It is unreal how beautiful this girl's eyes are...not to mention how pinchable those cheeks are! ;)

Kinsleigh was actually crawling away from us in this one...surprised it ended up being one of my favorites! :)

Big girl in her Christmas dress...

A little sad at this point in the session...there were some Cheerios on this little stool...but a little magic and they are invisible to the human eye!!! ;)

Baby Kingston: 15 days new!!!

My precious new nephew finally came to see me for a portrait session today!!!  I am done taking on new sessions in anticipation of my own bundle of joy, but no way I could NOT do Kingston's pictures!!  He made us work for it too!!!  We tried and tried, but this little man just didn't want to be happy or asleep!!  Of course, as soon as we were finished, he zonked out!  And the most comfortable spot for him ended up being the teacup...who would have guessed?!  So we did a bunch of "wardrobe" changes in that position and got some really cute shots!!  Although I guess I am a little biased with this one... ;)  Here is Kingston:

Since this ended up being Kingston's favorite spot, we switched up his hats many times just for fun!!  I LOVE this one!!!!  The hat (made by my darling sister, Katie!) reminds me of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and I LOVE the way it matches the teacup!!  Oh, I also love how Kingston's mouth is slightly open...CUTENESS!!!

One of the first shots we got...I adore this one as I think he looks much like my favorite younger sister!!!  Still looks like Daddy quite a bit, but nice to see Katie too...Looks like someone is going to have brown eyes!! :) 

Kingston is looking very much like big brother, Tennyson, in this one!!  I love the leg kick! ;)

He did "almost" sleep a few times! ;)

Finally cozy in the teacup...Love the sweet position of his hands/arms! :)

This was my first favorite!!  Very festive with the red and green!!! :)

Aviator Kingston!! :)
