Little Daxx had eyes that could make an iceberg melt. His big, chocolatey brown eyes made my heart melt every time he opened them.  Daxx was a little older than our typical newborn (we like to schedule our newborn shoots within the first 10-12 days of life…that’s when babies are the sleepiest and curl up the best), but he did fall asleep for us for a bit. He loved to be cuddled, and already learned to self-soothe by sucking on his hands. His big brother, Zayd (age 4 years), was absolutely phenomenal!  Zayd was incredibly easy to work with, and took directions amazingly well…after all, not many 4-year olds can tolerate a squirming newborn on their backs for very long. He was not distracted by our various props, and gave us a prize-winning smile every time! Click HERE to see Zayd’s 1-year old shoot with us. Mom and Dad were extremely easy-going, which always makes for an easier shoot.  Thank you for being so wonderful to work with. It was great to see all of you again!  Here’s your sneak peek:

It was a perfect afternoon for an outdoor family shoot. I had my doubts as we drove over and the clouds turned dark grey,  but our location turned out to be rain-free (well, at least until our shoot was over…it started drizzling as we drove home). We just saw little Emily about a month ago (click HERE to see our previous shoot with Emily), but we scheduled another shoot in because Mom’s family came in from various locations on the mainland, and what better excuse for a shoot than to do a family shoot! We saw most of Emily’s family about 4 years ago (click HERE to see their previous family shoot)…which was before Emily was even born. In fact, Big Sister, Maggie was younger than Emily is now at the time of that shoot.  Our family was just as fun and beautiful as they were at our previous family shoot, and it was a pleasure seeing everyone again! Thank you for a great afternoon, everyone  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

I can’t believe how much these little guys have grown over the past months! The last time we saw Jacie and Jake, they were 3 months old (click HERE to see their last shoot with us). Since that time, they have developed their own little personalities! Jacie was a little ham  🙂  She loved to pose, and gave us the happiest smile (Daddy wins the award for demonstrating the most creative way to elicit a smile from a child!). Jake was a little trouper when it came to waking up from his nap…not a tear! He gave us sweet little smiles, which seemed to go along with his easy going personality.  They tolerated their outfit changes well (thanks for bringing those adorable outfits, Mom!). Mom and Dad, thanks for sharing your sweet angels with us!  It was great to see you all again 🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

He never fails…every time Bradley goes out for a walk with Edson, he brings me back a flower.  It’s usually a yellow or white flower, and he makes me guess what it is.  “Momma, guess what I have for you?  I’ll give you a hint, it has petals”  It’s one of our little routines. One of the little routines that just makes me happy to be a mom.  Today was Mother’s Day, and he didn’t just arrive with one flower, he brought home a “Mother’s Day bouquet”. * Sigh* I’m so lucky to be a mother  🙂

Hope all you Moms out there had a very special Mother’s Day!  Hugs to all of you!
