I’ve been lucky enough to photograph this little girl since she was just a few days old and now she’s a talkative, lively 3-year-old with a little sister on the way.  I look forward to seeing them again in a few weeks for their second newborn session!

So what better way to spend Friday the 13th than with these adorable little redheads and their parents?   The baby was just at the perfect age to sit and smile for us, and big brother stepped in to join us for a few photos as well.  I thought it was cute how they are already chumming around like brothers.

It was nice to have an excuse to catch up with these folks while they were visiting from out of town.  I’ve known them since our pre-kid days when my husband and this dad used to work together.   In fact, I remember us having our matching Nikon DSLRs back in the day.   This was our second photoshoot together, and this time I got to meet their newest addition–a sweet 3-month-old son.   So glad we were able to fit in the session before they head back west!

I have been photographing this family for a few years now, and I was excited to learn last summer that they would be adding a new little sister this month.   Big sis was such a great helper at our session, doing everything from posing for pics to calming baby.   And baby sister was just the perfect little model.  I was able to catch some of her cute baby grins as well as some rare open eyes.  I had share the adorable flower sisters pose–that one was big sis’s idea, and I think they look so sweet.

We had been trying to schedule this session for about a month–battling cold, wind, rain, and the business of life, and finally settled on this fine Monday at the end of the month, crossing our fingers that the weather would cooperate.  And cooperate it did, with nearly 70 degree temperatures and calm skies.   This was the perfect family to finish up my outdoor portrait season with–an beautiful baby girl and her adoring parents.

This mom is one of my oldest and dearest friends, and I was so excited at the prospect of photographing her handsome boys while I was up in Reading.   They are so cute–the older brother with his charming smile and bright blue eyes, and the younger brother with his adorable rosy cheeks.   It’s so fun to see them grow up!

It’s been a year since I’ve seen these little girls, and last November little sis was just a newborn.  Now she’s a busy walker, and doing her best to keep up with big sister.   Here’s a look back at them last year:

These kiddos (and their parents) were brave on this blustery morning.  The leaves were marching down the streets as we waiting for breaks in the wind to snap a few photos without crazy hair.

It was a beautiful day for a photoshoot at the park, and this fun mom wanted to make sure the kids weren’t just standing around saying “cheese” for their portraits.  So we were climbing trees, swinging on swings, going down slides, and tossing leaves.   It’s been about a year and a half since their last session, and it’s always fun to see the kids as they grow up.

It’s been a few months since I photographed this little guy as a newborn, and look how big he is now!   His older brother and sister are former preschool classmates, dance buddies and soccer teammates of my own girls, and I have enjoyed seeing them grow up.   Aren’t they a great-looking bunch?
