This one year old is ready to take off.  He wants to keep up with three older brothers (ages 2, 3, and 14).  Isn’t he darling? 

Love these kinds of shots … what a wonderful, sweet family.

So sweet…

And, finally one in honor of the oldest.  What a huge help you are.  Love the way you have such patience with and take such great care of your brothers.  Thanks a ton!

Lucky me gets to go back in a few weeks for some fun outdoor shots!  What a treat to photograph this beautiful family!

Love the closeups, of course:

And, a little mama-daughter love:

And, finally some gorgeous sister love:

I had the honor of photographing one of our favorite little friends.  He’s so full of joy and curiosity and exuberance–what a treat!

One set of twins + one big sister + a beautiful summer evening in Grand Rapids, MI = a successful photo session. With my usual laid back style, I was ready for anything. I try to stay on the move, especially with three little ones, allowing for much silliness and adventure. While the perfect sibling photo is never guaranteed, we were able to capture several of these three together and many gorgeous individual photos.

One more note: Remaining sessions for 2008 are filling quickly. While I usually try to squeeze in sessions here and there as much as possible, it becomes more difficult to be flexible as the year progresses. Further, the deadline for ordering Christmas cards is October 31 (just a couple of months away!!!). So if you’re thinking about scheduling a session for August, September, or October, please email or call soon. It’s so hard for me to say no, and I truly don’t want anyone to be disappointed!

This young lady in Grand Rapids, Michigan has simply flawless skin, not a stitch of makeup.  Her expressions and “looks” are as varied as her many interests–from molecular biology to hockey to ancient Greek philosophy to martial arts–I learned a lot, indeed!  Can’t wait to dig into the rest of her photos, but here are a few to start.  All black and white for today.
