I love watching all the expressions newborns can make, and how rapidly they can run through a whole variety of them. I know newborns smile, because I see it all the time. Catching one of those smiles is a trick, though- you have to be lucky and have a quick trigger finger. We got lucky with Mr. L- isn’t this an adorable smile?!
And I love this, too. This was a toy his Dad played with as a kid, and Grandma just recovered it for L.-
My new obsession is finding cute hats in newborn sizes. I scour Etsy (an online marketplace with wonderful handmade items), and give in to temptation a bit too often- so many options out there. Baby Hudson had his own great cowboy hat, so of course we had to use it!
and one of the handmade finds-
He looks pretty cute hatless, too-
He could be a Janie and Jack model- he was so adorable in this outfit-
….but I like the bare belly look just as well!
I hear these curls may need to be trimmed soon, so I had to capture them while he still has them-
He has the most beautiful eyelashes!
I’ve been photographing these twins for several years, and can’t believe how grown up they’re getting. Their little brother has grown way up since I saw him as a newborn last year, and I can’t get over his beautiful curls!
My favorite Dad/kid activity lately- haven’t met a kid yet who doesn’t love it!
The third set of twins in a week- spunky, fun and full of personality! Their big sister is a sweetheart. We had a beautiful location and evening-
Love this family image!
