Charlotte’s 1-Year Photos

Yes, guys… I know. GF is almost 3 years old. So, why am I posting her 1 year photos now? Because I finally got access to all of them. For whatever reason, I never downloaded them from our photographer’s site and it took her a bit to get them back up on the website.

Here’s the sneak peek I posted 2 years ago! haha

Anyway, without further ado, here are some of my favorites…

Henry’s 8 Month Photos

Alright, so here are the photos that inspired me to get all of the other photos posted to the blog… Henry’s most recent: the 8 month photos!

If it were just Henry at this photo session, I would say that it went perfectly! Despite it being right when he should have been napping, he was a total dream. Happy, smiley, fun, etc. However, it was not just Henry.

My other two children did not behave so well. “OTHER TWO CHILDREN?” you might say…

Why, yes! It’s unclear which of these “children” hates photos more: Mark (hubby) or Charlotte (the toddler). Charlie was ALL. OVER. THE. PLACE. She would smile like a perfect little angel, the photographer would lift her camera, finger on the trigger and C would run or start screaming or flail.

This picture really captures the big “F you” message she was sending me… (check out those eyes… those are f you eyes.)

The other child, the man child, got crabby. He just hates these photo sessions. BUT, we all survived and churned out some pretty cute pics. All in all: success!

As an FYI, my favorite pics are the one below (look at those arm rolls) and that TUSH (sorry, Henry)…

Henry’s 4 Month Photos

Henry’s 4 month pictures were taken at a park located on Lake Michigan. We had an absurdly windy day, but sunny and lovely. Poor Henry had a solid blowout poop/pee mid-photoshoot, that wasn’t noticed until we were just about done… so, if he looks pissed, he is! haha Literally.

I loved how these photos turned out. They definitely reminded me of our engagement photos, which are my favorites.

See… aren’t these amazing:

But I digress… (sorry for attempting to steal the show, Henry)!

Henry’s Newborn Photos

Within a week of little Henry’s arrival, we took Henry’s newborn photos. I don’t remember all the details, as I was in a blurry state of exhaustion, but I do remember that it did not go amazingly. My GIANT baby refused to sleep like a newborn. He cried and cried for the first 3/4 of the session and then slept super lightly for the last quarter.

We had planned to schedule another mini session to get a few more photos, but I got lazy and didn’t want to endure the torture. Regardless, his pictures are cute! Not my favorite photo session, but definitely some very sweet shots. As you’ll see, my little ham also tried to steal the show with some 2-year-old shots.

Henry’s Fresh 48 Photos

I noticed yesterday that I have yet to post any of Henry’s professional photos. For Henry, we did photos in the hospital when Charlie was there visiting. This is the “Fresh 48” and I am SO happy that we did them. They’re amazing and special and give me all the feels.
