Six days past his due date and thirty hours of labor, baby Chaz sure knew how to test his parents’ patience. But all eight pounds one ounce of him was well worth the wait (and work on momma’s behalf)!!
He’s already daddy’s little boy. :-)
He seemed to be happiest in momma’s arms. :-)
*big yawn!!*
Babies always tend to do the cutest things just as I’m packing up to leave. Chaz decided to make faces at me. :-)
When I was planning my week-long East-river photo adventure, most of my appointments revolved around the arrival of baby Hudson. His parents, big brother Griffin and I were SO excited that he decided to arrive a few days early. He was born Monday morning and I stopped in bright and early on Saturday to capture his beautiful baby-ness! :-)
Hudson is so lucky to have such a loving big brother!
And the whole family having a snuggle break!
Noah turned one last week – can you believe it?! Since I saw him last (for his nine month photos) he has gotten some hair (love the curl on the side!) and lots more teeth!
Here he is calling all his girlfriends and inviting them to his birthday party. :-)
Opening presents is so much fun!!
Playing a new toy with daddy.
Noah loves birthday cards!
Reading a new book with mommy.
It won’t be much longer until he is bigger than his baby quilt!
Making sure all of grandma and grandpa’s friends are invited to the party, too. :-)
Not sure if he’s waving or showing us that he’s one, but he sure does melt grandma + grandpa’s hearts!!
Baby Maliha was born bright and early Tuesday morning and as of Thursday afternoon she was my first ever studio lb baby that I have photographed!! Maliha’s parents were married in July of 2009 – you can check them out here for a refresher. :-)
For the first half of our session, Maliah refused to sleep – she was too excited for her modeling debut!!
Maliha and her two wonderful big sisters:
They both love her soooo so much!!
In daddy’s arms:
Having your picture taken as a baby is a tough job, and so after a while Maliha completely zonked out!!
I just recently met Adam + Deb at Dan + Kalina‘s wedding. Deb was the soloist at the ceremony and Adam knew Lance from work. Adam was showing me photos of his beautiful baby girl on his phone and asked if I would ever be in Sioux Falls for some family photos. OF COURSE I could arrange that! Anything for a beautiful baby girl! :-)
