Kim called me a few weeks ago and asked if I’d come and take some pictures of their brand new baby boy and his sister. If you’ve ever read here before, you know I love, love, love babies!   We had to reschedule once due to weather (even though I generally do newborn sessions inside, you still need a little bit of natural light to take natural light pictures).

Here’s Asher.  Okay, I know he looks like he’s three months old in this picture, but trust me, he’s not!

 

So, you’ve met little brother…

 

Well, now, meet his big sister….

 

Did you do a double-take?  Wait!  Two babies!  That’s right…a newborn and a not-quite-toddler.  The day I took these pictures was actually Naomi’s first birthday.  At first, she was a little shy around me, but after playing with my flash diffuser for a while, she decided that I wasn’t so bad!

 

Asher was a little fussy, so we left him inside to sleep and took Naomi outside for some one-year portraits.  Will you look at those eyes?

 

 

 

 

There’s nothing more magical than a baby just learning to walk.

 

I love baby’s hands… and just look at the difference between these two pictures…I think they perfectly illustrate how much children grow and change in that first year.  Here’s Naomi using her hands to explore and discover her wonderful world (and I love the pink pacifier!)

 

 

and Asher’s hands, still so tiny and new, learning to grasp and hold on to his beloved mommy

And, one final one of this sweet, sweet baby boy…

 

 

Thanks, Kim, for letting me spend time with you and your beautiful children!  It was such a blessing!
