1. I love this family.
2. I love the expressions and story they tell.
3. This is what I do-- these are the sessions that make my heart sing. I love it when a family, or couple, will just play while I document it.
This is what I do.
My goal is always this :: that when people look back at the pictures I take, they will remember the exact thing that made them laugh so hard, or the words that made them hug so tight. I want them to be able to look back at their images and remember the evening we spent together perfectly.
Jen, I hope you'll always be able to remember this evening. Love you so much!


































A few weeks ago, I took him out for some pictures to commemorate this special time in his life.










Ahhh...love everything about these. So wonderful. Congratulations Elias!!
(03.26.12 @ 09:08 PM)Well, okay, I'm not really sure what they say about the third child, but I do know that little Miss Maura (said MAH-RA, not MORA) is much more likely to be seen out and about missing one shoe, with her PJ's still on, her hair all crazy-like. She's less likely to get all 5 servings of milk each day (or whatever the recommendation is), and I'm pretty sure I'm okay if she stays in diapers forever, because I just don't have it in me to potty-train right now.
She's HAPPY, oh she's so happy. The happiest of all three of them. She's mischievous as can be (really? butcher knives? Sharpies? toothbrushes and toilets?). She makes me swoon. She makes me crazy. She's as individual as anyone could possibly be at two years old. She's witty, she's sly, she's kind, and I never change her pants when she doesn't say "thank you" afterward. She's a magnetizing child, and I love her to pieces.






This child!!! OMG, How adorable. I love the photos and the personality they deomnstrate. Fantastic job mommy. Take Good Care, Dr Shari
(03.16.12 @ 05:24 PM)Oh my, she is a cute little button! I have enjoyed all the pictures of your children, Rachel, they are all very beautiful kids, but she looks like miss personality plus!

And then this little miss saw me sneaking pictures, and promptly said, "Mommy! Take picture a me! Take picture a me!", and how could I not oblige?
