After playing in the foot-deep snow just last week, it felt rather strange to be doing a newborn/sibling shoot and be able to go outside.  It was so warm, in fact, that we were even able to bring beautiful baby Josie outside.  Josie is just two weeks new, and she was such an angel during this entire wonderful session.  And her big brother and sister were also perfectly well-behaved.  I had such fun playing with them! Sadly, the one member of this sweet family who will not be featured on my blog, much to her great chagrin I am sure, is the fabulous Kitty.  Kitty is a beautiful calico cat who chose this family to be her very own, simply by not going away once she showed up at their house.  What choice did the family have but to feed her, even though Dad is allergic to cats? Kitty REALLY wanted to be part of the family portrait and was trying everything in her power to stay in the picture.  A hint to stray cats everywhere: persistance is the key.  I’m afraid Madison the dog got preferential treatment during this shoot – his picture even made it onto the blog.

There are so many great pictures from this shoot that I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to narrow them down to a manageable number.  But that is what happens when you have 3 of the cutest kids ever.  And also when you have old rusty heirloom pedal cars and kids in rainboots.  These are my two favorite photography items, so if you have not one but BOTH of these at your house, you can be assured of a ton of pictures.

One thing I most appreciate about doing shoots at homes is that the kids are always totally relaxed.  They are in their own world among their own things, and surrounded by the people who love them most.  And it was obvious to me that this family has so much love within the walls of their home.  So here they are: beautiful Josie, sweet Hayes, and vivacious Reagan.
