Toddler Twins

Ah twins...I must admit there is something completely exciting about the opportunity to photograph twins.  Its something that doesn't happen that often and I really do look forward to it.  I also forget how difficult it can be to keep TWO toddler one year olds sitting, happy and looking in my general direction at the same time!  I had so much fun with these handsome boys and slept quite well that night too;)  

Newborn M

This little beauty is just six days old and weighs only five pounds!!!  I have never held a baby this small, and although I am a mother of three, I must admit, she made me a little nervous!  I am pretty sure my babies were five pounds when I was about five months pregnant.  This little girl was so alert, but still sat pretty still for her debut....

I had so much fun making the Valentine style set up. I bought an old, slightly yellowed book from the thrift store. Then I had fun tearing out the pages and ModPodg-ing them to a white foam board. I found the cute lace doily hearts at Ben Franklins, although I probably could have saved a fortune by just looking at the Dollar Tree. I then collected twigs from my front yard. I lucked out with one that kind of looked like a bow. I then cut out felt triangles, glued them to the tips of the twigs and tied off with burlap fabric pieces.

P.S...I Love You

I tend to get a little sad in these Nebraska cold months.  I miss the sun, I miss the warmth, did I mention I miss the sun?  I have a love for outdoor photo shoots.  I really only prefer my studio when I am photographing newborns.  My studio make me feel so...posed.  So how do I get out of my slump?  Torture my own children- I sure do love these guys!
