I always LOVE seeing this family! Their twin boys are too cute for words and always so much fun to photograph. Getting outdoors and exploring was perfect for these two. We found a lot of sticks and dandelions and they loved it. We even got Dad in on the fun, hamming it up behind the scenes to get some giggles out of everyone.
One of my favorite images from last year. Courtesy of my amazing husband. Motherhood is intense. You really don't know what you're getting into the first time around and then it's a whirlwind of days packed with cheerios and messes and about a million things on your to-do list. In my short time as a mom, I have realized that Motherhood doesn't get easier.. the challenges you face just change.
Motherhood doesn't slow down.. the time flies by faster every year.. But oh, is it the sweetest thing to be called "Mom" and feel that hug around your neck and kiss on the cheek.
With all of this wacky weather, I am beginning to wonder when it will actually feel like Spring. Yesterday, we received a late April Fools joke from Mother Nature.. 2 inches of snow!? And today it is pouring rain. My first outdoor family session of the year is in a little over one week so I am praying the weather changes by then!
If you have young children at home, you will understand that it can be a struggle sometimes to keep them entertained on a rainy day. We have been running out of ideas at our house. So, last week, my son and I headed to Hobby Lobby in hopes of finding a new craft we could work on inside. After making our way past all the things he wanted to hold or look at (I forgot how memorizing this place is to little kids!) we found some new acrylic paints and rocks! I knew he would love to paint rocks!
Art seems to be Bodhi's thing. He loves painting, music, dancing, everything art. When I asked if he wanted to make some art last week as the rain poured down outside, he was SO excited and immediately ran to the kitchen table as I prepped everything.
He absolutely loved painting the rocks and mixing all the colors of paint together and shouted at me across the kitchen, "Look, Mom! Bodhi doing art!".
I was relieved that painting the rocks was a hit.. even if he only wanted to paint for about 20 minutes!
What are some of your favorite indoor activities to keep your kids entertained?
This fresh 48 session was so exciting! Not only did we get to capture this beautiful little girl's first day Earthside, but we were also there to document her meeting her big brother for the first time! It was so special and just pulled at my heart strings.
Seeing siblings meet their new baby brother or sister is so adorable and fun because you never know how they will react. Sometimes there are tears, sometimes there are smiles and a lot of times it's a mix of both. This little guy was SO happy to hold his new baby sister.. the photos are priceless.
Little girl, you are so loved and I am so happy your family asked me to be there for your birth day!
Welcome to the world!
