These kids were just so cool and fun! I just love it when kids are so relaxed and natural while they are being photographed ... it makes amazing images. I had a great time photographing this family at their North End home. I swear, every time I go to the North End I wish I lived on that end of town. Â It's so quiet with lots of big trees and great shade. Thank you for a wonderful session!!

Now, for the sneak peek ... don't all of these kids have the most beautiful lips?!

I'm feeling like a bad mommy for not blogging this sooner but my little Gabe lost his first tooth last Sunday (7/27/08) while drinking a cup of milk. We had been telling him all day long that he just needed to give his tooth a little tug and it would come out but he did not want to do it. Not even Pappy could convince him otherwise. After dinner with Grandma & Pappy we came home and sure enough, that tooth popped right out on it's own and landed on his shirt. He was so excited. We put the tooth in water until bedtime and then into a plastic baggie and under the pillow. The magical tooth fairy came and left him a nice crispy one dollar bill. I was up before him the next morning (which doesn't usually happen) and he came out of his room and said, "Hey mom, you gotta see this!" I said, "What is it?" to which he replied, "The tooth fairy came and used magic to put a one dollar under my pillow and I saw her" (uh oh thoughts were swirling through my head because he did stir a little when the "tooth fairy" did the switcheroo). I asked him what she looked like and he said, "I don't know I was asleep but I saw her use magic" (whew)!

Now, I can't really say that I could have blogged this with photos much sooner because Gabe did not want to have a picture taken and would run off every time I tried to get out the camera. I finally got him in front of the camera, mostly willingly (only a minor bribe to play the wii with him), on Saturday (8/2/08).

So, here he is with a missing tooth and looking oh so proud!!!

and this one doesn't show off his missing tooth but it is totally "him" ... you know those things your kids do that just make them "them" ... this is one of Gabe's :)

I have so many sneak peeks that I am getting backed up on so look for more frequent blog posts for the rest of the week and next week too!!

Enjoy!

The grandparents ... aren't they just adorable!!

Mr. "M" - isn't he handsome? I think he looks so dashing in this one.

And Miss "A" ... she has grown so much since I photographed her as a newborn. I just love to watch kids grow through my lens :) She was so happy and smiley the whole time.

Enjoy!
