2 At a Time

Two at a time is something I can understand.  We got two babies in 8 months but these two lovelies came in 4 months time!  Remember Alissa & Mac?...

Last year I took their adoption profile pictures.  LAST YEAR! 

What a difference a year makes.  Sweet baby boy was adopted in September, and beautiful baby girl came in January.

Older infants are a little less cooperative than the tiny ones, but I'm an equal opportunity photographer!  At any age you can get beautiful photos.  *disclaimer* you may need a bit more patience and time ;)

Over Christmas vacation I was overjoyed to hear about a college friend who had the opportunity to adopt a sweet little baby boy.  I couldn't wait to meet him.  There is nothing like the miracle of adoption.

He is such a beautiful baby.  Looks like he has had his hair tidied up at the barber and his skin has such a beautiful tone.

Like my first, this little guy is so strong for being so young.  He fought the urge to go to sleep for the first little while.

Finally we got him snug enough to drop off.

So we moved and changed up the lighting for the last few shots.

Ahh, baby parts :)

4 going on 40

Right from the start this little fella was so fun and easy to shoot. 

It's not every day that I get such a cooperative 4 year old.

He was trying to see if he could see me through my lens.  Got to remember that one next time!

Her darling new shoes.  Had to showcase them.  Right before I took her to Utah Lake and we marched through the sludge.

Hope the sunset was worth the investment.

Of all the kind things people have done for me on shoots, Z shared his BottleCaps with me in the car.

And THEN, they pulled out these superhero shirts and he got crazy on me!

I had the opportunity to do a mini-session with this awesome couple to help them complete their adoption profile.  They are so cute and fun.  We spent most of the time laughing!

You are going to be FANTASTIC parents! 

Baby Brielle, Sweetheart

This little doll was born on Valentine's Day, 5 days early and I've never seen a more active, alert 2 week old in my life.   KEEP SCROLLING DOWN FOR A HUGE SURPRISE....OOOOH THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!!

 It's not that she looks fabulous in ruffles...

 Nope. 10 toes.

It is awesome that she made faces at me but no.....

 She was not born with teeth...

 Wait for it....

I know, adorable right?!

 If it were a crocodile it would have bitten you on the nose.

Oh yes.  That's what you think it is!

Her baby bro Keaton is due in June!  Please do not use this as fuel for your lecture to infertile friends and family that if they just prepare to adopt they'll get pregnant.  However, that's just what happened to this sweet little family.

I still do a free session of any kind (sealing, placement, family, infant), for anyone adopting.  Please feel free to call me to schedule one!

This is No-man's Land

 This kid's going to be tough!
