I love my returning families.  It is such a pleasure and I feel so blessed when families trust me with not only capturing their first child’s newborn images but then they come back to me when their second (or sometimes third, or even their fourth) child is born.  But….I’ll be honest. When I was planning for sweet Laine’s session and specifically for the sibling images, let’s just say that well…I was a little anxious. I photographed her adorable big brother’s newborn images just 16 months prior to Laine being born. Just 16 months. He was a premie too at just 4.3 lbs. While I always have high hopes for sibling images, let’s just say that 14-18 month old kiddos are not know for their predictability or for their ability to follow directions. I had my “safety shots” planned (those tricks that many of my families have seen me use to get images where big siblings want nothing to do with their new sibling.) BUT….this little guy blew me away! Sweet big brother Lyle was a dream. Smiley, sweet and while his love “pats” may have been a little rougher than mine, he sure was sweet with his baby sister.   Not letting her sweet big brother with awesome behavior overshadow her, Laine too was such an angel as she allowed me to pose and wrap her.
