sneak peek of baby R – [St. Louis Newborn Photography]
Posted on July 24, 2009
I think I’ve mentioned before that between Kim and I we have 10 kids. And I KNOW most of you know I have three little ones, which obviously means Kim has SEVEN. A fact that I like to tell everyone we come into contact with when we’re together. Simply b/c I think she deserves a massage, a big fountain diet coke and oh, I don’t know, maybe a parade in her honor EVERY SINGLE MORNING!
Anyway, her oldest is 14 and when planning for yesterday’s session she offered to have Abby babysit for me. Considering Abby has SIX younger brothers and sisters she sits for I easily threw my “they have to at least be a junior in high school to babysit” rule out the window. BUT. Abby not only had my kids during the session, she had her three youngest siblings as well! SIX kids! It would have driven me to drink but when we got back Abby was as calm as ever and had everything (and EVERYONE) under control and playing nicely!
TOTALLY something we’re doing again! SOON! Like tomorrow when we photograph my good friend’s TWINS! YEAH!
So while the kids were playing with their new extended family (b/c when you have a business partner don’t they inevitably become family?) Kim and I got to meet little baby R.
And OH MY SWEETNESS this baby.
First, she slept THE ENTIRE TIME! I’m not sure we saw her eyes but for the few times she tried to open them but couldn’t resist the warm humid weather and closed them again immediately! Second, THE HAIR. I really do love a baby with GOBS of hair! Third, her brother. OH MY FRECKLES we could have eaten him alive. He was so cute and SO good and I could have just photographed HIM all day so it’s a good thing Grandma was there to take him to the pool!
Enjoy your photos Alyson… we had a great time yesterday!
We seriously have the best job in the world!
Holy, bokeh! Image #3 is awesome! I love that last darling sibling shot, too!
