Last week, I had the privilege of spending an evening with Sally, Stephen, Will and Baby Maggie. As always, I was absolutely amazed at how much Baby Maggie had grown up in the few short months since I last saw them. (You’d think by now I wouldn’t still be surprised at how much these babies change… but apparently I’m easy to surprise :))
Baby Maggie at 4.5 months old.
One of my favorite images from the session. I’ve actually had several requests for “images just like that” from other clients since I posted this one on Facebook… Sadly, it doesn’t work like that. This one belongs to Sally… no one else gets this EXACT image :)
She is seriously cute, isn’t she?
I think Sarge gets a cameo like this at every session… He’s always looks at me with his big sad eyes. I just have to let him be the star of at least one image.
Poor Baby Maggie was teething like mad… she was slightly crankier than normal. I felt bad for her. She didn’t really want to listen to a book… she just wanted to be snuggled :)
It was about 65 billion degrees outside, but it’s summer, and Will’s a boy with a new playset, so we certainly had to go out and play. It was quite fun, even though I might’ve whined about the heat… a lot.
One of my favorite feet shots in awhile. I love that they’re dirty from playing outside.
Seems like the perfect time for a popsicle :)
Maggie isn’t really into “playing outside” yet…
I’m so excited that Will finally seems to really like me. He’s gone through stages where we weren’t really friends :( I was afraid that maybe I wasn’t his type ;)
He loves playing ball in the backyard with his dad. Will’s job is to catch or hit things… Stephen’s job is to make sure his aim is perfect :)
Maggie was fussy, which we were attributing to her teeth… and then we realized that it was really time for her dinner. Oops! She was SO excited about her bottle :)
Happy baby!
I love family interaction… all of the expressions… there’s always a story behind every image like this.
Baby Maggie has just started eating solids… and she’s not sure if she likes them or not. She was super cute as she went back and forth between desperately wanting the spoon in her mouth and quickly spitting it back out :)
Yay, baby feet :)
Tickling is evil. Have I mentioned that previously?
Bath time is always one of my favorite things to photograph. One of my favorite pictures of Will was taken during a bath… and that seems to often be the case with many of my clients! I always get excited when clients mention this as a part of what they want to do during our session.
When I asked Sally for some of the things that she never wants to forget about Sally and Will, she said this:
“I was so worried before Maggie was born about how Will would do with her. He is so sweet and loving to her and I would love to be able to capture that between them.”
Will’s kind of a wild boy. By that I just mean, he’s all boy. He’s rambunctious and loud and crazy and fun. I didn’t really see him as the snuggling type.
But I was wrong. He’s a fan of his baby sister. It’s quite adorable.
Maggie was starting to get ready to go down for the night, so while Sally was hanging out with her, Will and Stephen had a pillow fight. Like I said, Will is all boy :)
He’s such a handsome boy. I can never get over how big his eyes are… and how long his lashes are. They’re spectacular.
Sally and Stephen, I adore you guys. Can we please hang out in real life… before your next session? We miss you! I hope you love your slideshow :) Thanks for spending your evening with me.
love,

Maggie is an easy sleeper. Sally rocked her about twice, and she was out cold.
