Here comes a super-long post (of lots and lots of photos)…
I’ve been excited to take photos of my photographer friend Holli since I heard she was pregnant. First of all, Holli is beautiful (yep, inside and out). Second, she is incredible (generous, sweet, funny…). And third, her family is also both of those things.
Well, the opportunity for maternity shots came and passed, and now little Ava is here. So this weekend J and I finally got to meet the 6-week-old peanut and play with big brother Mason. 🙂
Now for some photos!
First Mason played around in the pool on the very, very hot day:
…While Hol and Ava had a little moment. (“Wake up, Ava. You have guests!” Nope, nothing. Out cold.) Check out Ava’s adorable Mohawk!
So we brought her inside for some beautiful sleeping shots…
I love, love, love this one:
And maybe this one, too:
Okay, so they are good models. I sort of love this one, too…
And some other super-cute ones of these super-cute girls…
Hol tried to get some with Ava’s eyes open. Didn’t happen.
Maybe this?
Okay, Ava, you keep sleeping. (How sweet are these…? And Holli’s eyes – forget about it.)
Her eyes are open (sort of)! Could this little girl be any more precious?
Yes, she can, here: (one of my favorite teeny baby shots)
Time to put some clothes back on… and be awake for just a minute.
Now Kevin’s turn to get into some photos:
Too adorable…
Time for Mason to take off his water wings and get in on the love:
Snuggle from his mama – those eyes…
He is so, so sweet to his baby sister…
And lastly, tiny baby feet:
Oh – and a couple Holli took of me and the munchkin (thank you, Hol):
you are amazing! thank you. thank you. thank you!
😉 Thank YOU.
