{baby dedication}

Last weekend I had the privilege of photographing a group baby dedication.  So amazing to get to be there as these sweet families celebrated and dedicated these long awaited babies.  These are just a glimpse at the families who were there. :)

{tracey family: christmas 2018}

Photo sessions with multiple kids is always an interesting experience haha! 

There is actually a fourth child in this family but... 

She wasn't so sure this was a good idea at first... 😊 

(Also...this is me in front of the camera...which is why I'm always the one taking the pictures lol!)

...the aftermath...happy, sticky kids! 😂

Then of course there are the bajillion that were more like these two below...HA!

{little man turns 5}

Little Man is very into cowboys right now and since I was just in the land of cowboys last week, I knew I had to bring something back for him to go with the hat and rope I knew he was getting for his birthday.  Add a "cowboy shirt", red bandana, sherrif's badge, and a real cowboy belt and he was good to go! :) 

Of course we had to get one with all the brothers in it (except for the oldest who as at school)...and I might have taken 25 of these but look! - all eyes on the camera and everyone is smiling?!  This never happens!  lol  :)

"Kiki, sometimes cowboys put one of their feet up like this..."

{the boys: fall pics}

The boys are very much into "favorite colors" these days so everyone has on their favorite color shirts. Well, except baby bear.  We're not quite sure yet what his favorite color is, but he just thought his bowtie was pretty cool and didn't mind what shirt he was wearing.  :)

These two are best friends.  

All the brothers are good friends...but there's something extra between these two. :)

Now, before you go thinking that these pics were easy to get...I promise you I have about five times as many "blooper" pics than these pics! lol  Here is a sampling below of how this shoot *really* went...

During most of these you could hear me saying,

"Ok boys, look at Kiki!"

"Look at Kiki!"

"Hey! I'm over here sillies!!"

"Smile!"

"No, not that smile! Hahaha!"

"Oh brother lol." 

Like a friend recently commented on taking pics of her boys...it's a lot like herding cats! lol! But it's a lot of fun!
