We had a cold but beautiful afternoon over at Duke Gardens for Gabriel’s one-year photos. I can’t believe he has graduated from the Baby’s First Year plan!
  Looking back, it’s hard to believe he was ever this tiny.
 I guess that means it’s time for another one, mom and dad!

It’s the strangest thing having a new reader in the house. Mike and I are often still caught off guard by this little voice that says “does that say ____?”
As someone who devours books, I must say…I’m all misty-eyed-proud. Pin ItYep, another catch-up post from the fall! We got together for some updated family portraits and to commemorate little miss Ida’s first birthday!
I first met this ginger family when big brother Henry was just a wee babe. He’s grown into a super smart and talkative three-year old now. I could just eat him up!
The motherly love in these next three images speaks straight to my heart. I’m such a sap. I can’t help myself!
We had such a relaxed, easy-going vibe going with this session, and I feel like that really allowed for the love and emotion to pour through. Can you feel the love tonight? Er…this morning? I did it for them. And for me, too, in a weird kind of way. Pictures of me don’t turn up too often ’round these parts. I think my dear hubby has gotten used to me being the family camera-wielder. So every now and then, I have to get a little more purposeful in my endeavor to record my actual existence. (Cue the Australian accent, “Crikey! We’ve spotted a Christy! Christys are very rare to capture out in the open like this. Watch, don’t spook her! She has a dangerous bite!”) Yes, I can be weird. No, I don’t really bite. Usually. Anyhoo, this past weekend, I asked Mike to take some simple shots of me just loving on my girls. I set up the camera, got into position with the kids, and he shot away. And I overlooked all of the flaws that normally keep me from venturing to *this* side of the camera, and just felt the love. Best, most worthwhile 15 minutes I have spent in a long, long time.
We had some fun moments in between the lovey-dovey ones, too. Like when Macy decided to photo-bomb Claire and me.
And of course, monkey see, monkey do!
Those crack me up!
Both girls wanted a turn with the camera. Here’s Claire’s shot:
And here’s Macy’s. Just me.
Macy was done at this point, but Claire let me shoot a couple more of her. You’ve seen this first one already. I could get lost in those deep, dark eyes.
This last one is probably one of my all-time favorite photographs. Like, ever.
Sometimes, love really is all you need. Pin It
Oh my goodness, they are so beautiful. I love them all. I cracked up at the photo bombs haha. I think my favorite one was the 2nd one of Claire’s photo bombs LOL. I love those girls and you too of course and you are so beautiful (despite whatever flaws you “Think” you have, I don’t see them). Much love, give Macy and Claire a Hug and Kiss from all of us 
LOVE this post – you and your girls are precious together! You can just feel the love from these great shots. Definitely agree about the last shot – that needs a frame and a special spot in your house. All 3 of you are beautiful! |
