I’m currently on Photography Hiatus until the exhaustion and sickness from my first trimester goes away, but I had a long weekend off working at the hospital, so I got together with my sister’s family on Friday for a Christmasy session. I really enjoyed working with the seven of them. It was really challenging with so many kids, and it was freezing cold outside, but I had a blast! We met at Franklin Park Conservatory, which has a lot of beautiful places to shoot. Here’s a shot of the main building with all of her family sitting on the steps.

I’m not going to post The Christmas Card Photo, because I want it to be a surprise when she sends them out to friends and family, but I will post more from this session soon, and I promise there will be close-ups!

Okay, I have trimmed the hair over his ears before, so technically this is his second haircut, but today I used the buzzers, and big chunks of his blond hair fell to the bathroom floor. It made me very sad. I swept up a few locks of hair and put them into a baggie to save, as only a sentimental neurotic mother would do. He was really good during the haircut, too. He just sat on daddy’s lap and giggled while I buzzed away on his head.

From the back it looks about the same.

But from the front… I think he looks all grown up now without those scraggly bangs hanging down to his eyebrows. Not to mention his “don’t mess with me” face.
