baby in the belly..

there are so many new babies in our thursday morning playgroup. which by the way if you are interested in coming, send me an email. we are very welcoming to new moms! anyways, like i said before, it is always a pleasure to photograph your friends! the little girl wasn’t thrilled at all to have her photo taken, she wanted to play. i can’t say that i don’t blame her. if i were to use this location again, i would bring a step stool so the arrows would be more directly pointing at the belly. next time..

so sunny..

due to leaving a few minutes late, then construction and bridges being closed, i was very late for this session. thankfully the little girl was able to stay awake (yay for lunch breaks!) through the session. i was also thankful for cute polk a dot rugs, covered forts and porches for shade. there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky this day! very sweet kids, and the boy was full of energy..go figure!

one year old…

something that i need to keep reminding myself to do is to stop complaining about all of this snow. we had the most beautiful fall here in pittsburgh! this shoot was from mid-december, and i believe it was in the upper 40’s, possibly the mid 50’s. his mama and i were both praying for some warmer temps beforehand, so i am sure that helped too! i did his newborn shoot, and it has been so much fun to see him grow into a toddler. we have playgroup together on thursdays, and my son has never ever liked children smaller than himself. now he calls this little guy his “baby friend.” i love it!

imaginations…

Lately, my kids have been playing a lot of “house” as I called it growing up, and they completely crack me up with the things they come up with. The other day when we were on our way home from school, they decided to be brother and sister (go figure!) and I was their babysitter. There conversation went something like this…

Daughter: I can’t go to the birthday party because girls can’t go

Son: Uh huh, girls can go now

Me: Whose birthday party are you going to?

Daughter: I don’t know his name because I wasn’t invited

Son: He doesn’t have a name

Me: What did you buy him for his present?

Son: My mom bought him all kind of birthday stuff

Me: What kind of birthday stuff?

Son: Like cake, cereal…and…cupcakes and pizza

Daughter: Well I didn’t get him anything because I didn’t know I was allowed to go

Son: I will make him something then, and you can carry it in

Me: What are you going to make him?

Son: A light saber, and he said he wants the whole galaxy

Daughter: Well, now he is just being greedy

Son: I am going to call my mom and ask her to buy an Anakin costume at Target. Do you have a phone?

Daughter: I was texting too much at school so my teacher threw it away

*****

I had to cut in there, and get out of character. I had no idea my daughter even knew what texting was. haha!
