Pretty, Tiny Belly Take 2

We went back to 'M's' house to get some maternity pics of both her and her hubby, 'J'. It had only been 6 days since we saw her last and we swear her belly was lower and shaped differently!

It was nice meeting you 'J' and seeing you again 'M'... we'll see you soon when your baby girl enters this world! :)

New Baby Sister

'M' seemed so little herself, but she was so proud of her new baby sister, 'A'. She was so good and you could just tell they will be close as they grow up together. Baby 'A' wasn't so happy to be having her pics taken, but by the end of the shoot she was worn out and slept for a little bit while we managed to get a few of her sleeping.

Congrats, 'E&K' on your beautiful new addition to your family!

Pretty, Tiny Belly

We were both pregnant with twins, so we remember this huge, heavy, god-awful thing we carried around in front of us, so we were surprised when we met 'M'. She has the most perfect, beautiful pregnant belly- small, prefectly shaped and oh so smooth. :)

We had a great time with 'M' and look forward to her baby girl's appearance in the next few weeks! Be on the lookout for little baby 'M's' debut!

One, Two, Three, Four

One HOT day in the park
Two adorable little girls who just turned one
Three cheerios to keep little miss 'A' satisfied for a few minutes
Four dirty knees from trying to crawl away...

'M&A' weren't too sure what to think of us. 'M' was as happy as can be while 'A' wanted nothing to do with it. We finally found something to keep her occupied and content- Cheerios! :)
It was definitely a challenge- they both were on the go and ready to explore! It took several hands to keep grabbing, clean knees/hands and sit back on the blanket. We were all exhausted by the time we were done, but it was so much fun!

'M'

'A'

They just had their 1st birthday and had the most adorable birthday outfits!

Friends: a year later

We usually see them several times/week, but you haven't seen them in over a year. We took pics of 'C&C' last April: http://brinkerfreedphotography.blogspot.com/2008/04/pictures-of-friends-part-2.html. And here they are now, just as cute, only a year older:

Quite an adventure

We had quite an adventure with "CAE&C". "CA&E" are triplets about to turn 4 and "C" is their little sister who is 2. They were pretty comfortable with us because they are good friends of ours, but the usual environment is in a house full of kids and moms, so when they were alone with us we heard them talk more than we ever have before!

Big "C" told us all about their aunt's 'magic camera' (a polaroid camera!), we took a walk in the 'jungle' (on the boardwalk through the woods), saw a 'chickmunk' (a squirrel), had an encounter with a dragonfly that "E" was terrified of and little "C" tried to attack with a leaf to save "E" from it, and then we got stuck out in the rain! We were all the way at the end of the boardwalk when the dark clouds started rolling in. We heard some thunder and felt a few small drops so decided it was time to call it a day and head back. We were trying to gather the kids up quickly when big "C" asks, 'Is everything ok?' Poor thing- yes, everything's ok, just hurry up and run! :) We ended up calling their mom, "K" to come pick us all up. While waiting, we sat on the picnic bench singing 'Rain, Rain Go Away' and 'It's Raining, It's Pouring'.

Yes- we had a fun-filled, adventurous morning! :)

on our trek through the 'jungle'

It's kind of tricky getting 4 kids under 4 to all be looking and to not have one random silly face!

sometimes you just have to let them get the sillies out :)

Lovely family

Kristine met "J" when she going to physical therapy for her knee a couple years ago. "J" recently contacted us to do family pictures, so we met up with her and her lovely family at UT. The girls were 2 little bundles of joy, dad was so great with them and you could just see the love they all shared. It was a pleasure meeting your family, "J"!

March of Dimes Fundraiser

This is the 2nd Annual March of Dimes Fundraiser our friend Tara has held at Gymboree. Nice to see so many people there enjoying themselves and helping a good cause at the same time.

We'll be thinking of you, Tara as you walk tomorrow morning! Hope you were able to raise lots of money!

It was nice to see/meet all of you there. Enjoy the previews. We'll let you know when the rest are ready to view!

Easter Minis {previews}

What a beautiful day it was- a little warm, but it was overcast, so the sun was not blaring down. We had 4 wonderful families for our minis... thanks for coming out! Here they are! Hope you guys enjoy the preview!
