This family is no stranger to the blog… but poor little Liam is! What an experience this must’ve been for him! Sister jumping on the props, Mom dressing & undressing him many times, Dad letting sister “hug” him. Newborn sessions are hard work, and I’m sure little Liam would agree! It might surprise you to know, pretty much all newborn sessions are this way! Very rarely will a little one do exactly what I’m wanting them to do! Shoot, it’s hard to even get them in the general area of my idea! Kids just have their own ideas and their own agenda. Picture day is always the day their schedule is out of whack… it’s just a law of nature I guess. Throw in an older sibling… oh my. The sweet moments you witness between the two of them NEVER happen for the photographer! In fact, it’s almost a miracle if you can get the older one to sit on the same couch as their new little brother or sister. Why am I telling you guys this?!? Because parents are constantly apologizing when their kids aren’t cooperating, and they always think they’re the only ones. I want you to know it’s normal… totally NORMAL! Seriously, an everyday occurrence for me! Being a kid’s photographer is pretty crazy sometimes. Did you see the pictures I posted from MY session?!?! But I really do love it. I honestly think it’s so rewarding. I LOVE LOVE LOVE kids, and if I can catch them being who they are, then I am thrilled! So even through all the chaos of a normal day, and even though Liam didn’t really sleep for me, I could not be happier with how this session turned out. Love you guys, and congratulations on your handsome little man!!!!
Meet Liam…
I think this may be one of my favorite newborn sessions you’ve done Angie!!!!!
Angie!!! They are amazing!! Thank you so very much, we could not be more thrilled with how they turned out! These are precious moments we will cherish forever! You captured our family so beautifully!
Love these pictures Brandy & Chad, especially the black and white of Chad and Liam.
Meet Mucka…
(from my iphone)
A few days after Thanksgiving, I pulled out our Elf on the Shelf book for Addy’s bedtime story. We talked about Mucka, Addy’s elf, and if she remembered how he came last year and the silly places we found him! Believe it or not, Mucka came to our house the next morning and Addy’s face was priceless!!! I mean, so cute I had to go wake up Daddy so he wouldn’t miss the cuteness. I made sure Mucka made his way right in her room that first morning. Over the monitor I hear “Mama! Mucka! Mama! Mucka!!” She could not have been any cuter. I love this little tradition. Aside from the joy he brings my little 3 year old, he comes with many other perks!!!
. . . . . . .
Addy – (as we’re watching tv & the MANY toy commercials) “Mama, I need that. Mama, can I have that?!”
Mama – “I dunno baby. You’ll hafta ask Mucka!”
. . . . . . .
Addy – (throwing the most ridiculous fit) “No! I don’t wannaaaaaa!!”
Mama – “Oh no, Mucka left. You made him sad, and he had to go tell Santa how you were acting. Maybe if you change your attitude he’ll come back. Please act like my sweet girl so Mucka will come back and can tell Santa tonight you were such a good girl today!” (seriously 2 minutes later, Addy quit crying & Mucka returned)
. . . . . . .
It’s just fun! For my girls, and for me! Check out some things I’ve found and get your creative juices flowing…

So if you don’t have an Elf on the Shelf, come get one for $29.99!!! It’s the same price as any other place you find them, but our boutique has devised a plan on how to include your children even when purchasing your elf. So bring them in & let them pick out their elf!
You may remember this handsome man? He’s six months old already, and I just can’t believe it!! It’s funny to think back on last year’s Christmas Magic… this little booger’s mom and I both had booths set up, and for 3 days we talked about these sessions. We were both pregnant at the time, and now my little chunky monkey & her little man are both here. Crazy how the time flies by… never stops so we can take a break and just marvel at our kids. How they came to be, how amazing they are now, what we are molding them to become. I hope ALL my clients can look back at the pictures they’ve invested in and truly remember who their kids were in that moment…. cause we all know how fleeting those moments are!
These next 2 pictures are here to show you how this fast & furious session was for a good chunk of our time… little man was not so happy with me at first! Then not so happy with Daddy!! I love screaming kid pictures!
