iPhone Photos Edition:

Shhhh…don’t tell Daddy we are eating our first piece of gum

Yet another trip to the Doctors office. This time, double ear infections.

Heaten’s first kite flying experience (to see more KITES! you can visit our personal blog)

No nap makes for a very tired boy

No nap makes for a very hyper, silly girl

I am never without a camera. Whether it is my “work” camera (5DII), my “home” camera (50D), my “video camera” (Powershot SX100 IS), or my iPhone. I just really love taking photos and want to capture all of our daily moments on film because my brain is old and tired and never remembers the little things. Every photo doesn’t have to be technically perfect to preserve the memory. I strive to capture my kids, as they are, right now.

We’ve been getting pretty crappy weather the last few weeks so when this weekend rolled around I was a little nervous with 5 photo sessions scheduled that I may be in big trouble. Lucky for me the weather was beautiful and so was my first family!

I just love the young kids. They are so much fun and when I can win them over with funny sounds, songs, and general silliness it makes it all the better. I swear, I torture my poor families with out of tune singing, fake coughing, loud laughing, and other horrible things, but when I get smiles it is totally worth it!

I love that Mommy and Daddy brought books along to read to sweet little C. How sweet of a memory to have in the years to come.

And these big blue peepers where just beautiful!

My personal favorite of the day.

Thank you so much V family for a wonderful morning. I am working like a crazy loon on your gallery! =)

The Cute is Enough to Melt the Coldest of Hearts Edition:

Oh my heavens, how I love these little kids! I SO wish Heaten was looking at me, but as usual, when the camera comes out he avoids me at all costs. =) I still love, love, love this photo. This very well may be my next gallery wrap!

Fun With Twins Edition:

Have I mentioned lately that three year old twins are awesome {and crazy all at the same time}!

We’re Three Edition:

Ok, so my Twinzies actually turned three in October and I’m just now getting around to finishing up their session. We headed up to Bonnie Springs since we’d never been and they have a little train you can ride. Heaten loves him some Choo Choo so this was a big hit!! They also have a “zoo” that wasn’t so much of a hit - Shenzie was scared of the animals and Heaten just kept saying “Poo-ee, tinky”. I must admit, it DID smell pretty bad.

Normally when I bust out my camera Heaten just hides his face. He doesn’t like looking at the camera so when I am trying to photograph him I go into Stealth Mom Mode, or SMM. Shenzie on the other hand is a little cheese ball and loves to pose for me. Ha, see below for Shenzie Posing 101:

This day was the exception and I didn’t have to bust out SMM even once! Heaten was just so happy to be out and about with Daddy and Mama that he laughed, giggled, played, and even let me photograph him.

*On a side note, Las Vegas SUCKS! These photos were taken at Bonnie Springs in their Old Town and “Zoo” area. I had grand plans to do an engagement session there this spring until I found out they charge $350 to shoot there. $350!?!?!?!? Seriously, that is just insane. Highway robbery and absolutely ridiculous.

Handsome and Happy! This little dude was so wonderful to work with (as were his Mama’s, but more on them later). He was jolly as could be even though it was pretty cold out. I know I’m not the only one wanting to eat him up with a spoon!!

Those beautiful brown eyes will just suck you right in!

His Mama is VERY fashionable and brought along this cute little cowboy hat, adorable right?!?

Thank you so much Mama’s J&T for letting me photograph your family. I seriously had such a hard time narrowing down your photos, I just loved them all!

Stay tuned for Part II of this beautiful family (showcasing Mama’s) later this week.

The Twinzies at Age Three Edition:

This fall when work got out of control busy I basically stopped taking pictures of my own kids which really makes me sad. Back in the day I used to take hundreds of photos of them each week (I’m not exaggerating, it was almost a sickness). Then I got busy and that all dramatically changed.

I am now making it a point to take out my camera daily (although I’ll be happy with every couple of days to be quite honest) to capture the silly, crazy, and funny moments. The time is going by so quickly and I want to remember each and every tiny little detail [like Shenzie talking and laughing with her baby bear].

On a side note, how cute is my new brown wicker chair!?!?! Too bad Shenzie and Heaten think it is theirs, it should be interesting the next time I need to take it for work. =)
