{first baby of 2012} wyoming newborn and infant photography

i wrote that title and then i do believe he was actually born in 2011. baby L came a few weeks early and had to spend some time in the hospital getting bigger. so although he looks tiny, he is actually a few weeks old here! so neat to photograph for this family as i also photographed mom and dad’s wedding a couple years back. i love seeing the evolution of families and feel pretty blessed when they choose me to capture the biggest moments. he was a good little model and sure liked hanging out in front of the fireplace.

family! {sheridan wyoming photography}

we recently got to spend a very relaxing and wonderful weekend in the mountains of colorado with my sister and her family at their newly built cabin. it was so nice to spend thanksgiving together, in one spot. the kids were happy, adults relaxed, it was great! i also got to snap a few family pictures of my sister and family. the boys gave me a run for my money so i naturally had to throw in a few of the silly faces. there were LOTSit was a neat setting and although very cold we got some nice ones!

mind you putting their arm around each other was nothing short of TORTUREoh boys!

last but not least my BEAUTIFUL sister!

my loves, my boys…and me

i finally get a chance to post some images from a session from MY family! it was actually a hoot to see the “bloopers” from this day. now i know what my clients feel when their kids are being less than cooperative. i had set the stage for the perfect session…food, naps, bribes and a nicely blending color scheme…however little peanut had other ideas. i think we squeaked out some winners and i’m saving “the” Christmas card pic as a surprise. enjoy and realize that even photographers kids misbehave at photo shoots

first off…the blooper reel… it’s okay you can laugh

my beautiful blue eyed FIVE year old! i love him so much, so proud of him. he is the sweetest big brother to his little brother, so smart and full of life.

these boys adore their daddy!! i think the feeling is mutual

my little peanut turned 2 and he is the sweetest, funniest, most particular little imp. love him to bits. he adores his big brother too and loudly asks when he wakes “see-sun (blake for “ethan”) gone!? see-sun!!!!!”. finally i can attest after 2 years they are what i hoped for, brothers who adore each other, play together, laugh together and yes occasionally fight, but even that is short lived.

can’t get enough of his kisses! some day i won’t be quite as cool, so i’ll take all i can get now!

ethan’s smile is THE smile! love how his little nose wrinkles up

i did get a perfect shot – just one that i will save for those getting it as a present for christmas!
