This little bit was so sweet... When I first got there to take her photos she wasn't sure about me... but by the end of our time together she was posing like a little supermodel! It was so funny... She stopped all the tears and literally started posing... putting her little tiny arm up by her head while laying on her side.... and such wide open eyes... it was great!

Probably my favorite:

so sleepy:

I love how you can still see the skin peeling on these new little baby toes:

i'm old. and weak.

I must be getting old... I played the Wii over at my in-laws on Monday night and I don't think I'll ever be the same again. Besides having a lot of fun, I also got a complete workout... and got completely sore. That boxing game is really tough on your shoulders and arms! Then as if that wasn't enough, I put my body through another workout on Tuesday morning at the grocery store. [yes, i said at the grocery store.] Typically, my two littlest ones act normal at the store... but not Tuesday. My nearly 4 yr old wanted to ride in the basket because her "legs were so tired [she] was about to die" and my 1 yr old wouldn't ride in the basket because she wanted to crawl.

Needless to say, I ended up pushing my 40 lb child in a shopping cart full of heavy groceries with ONE hand, while my other hand was busy holding an extra squirmy 1 year old. We left after 1 1/2 hours of pure muscle torture... without all the groceries on my list.

Oh well... at least I'm gonna have some killer biceps this year for Thanksgiving.

Here are some photos from my last session with one of the cutest little newborns I've ever seen! His momma looked GREAT for only giving birth 10 days earlier! Introducing, Baby O:

a promise is a promise.

yes, i know... it's november 9th already and we've all moved on... halloween seems like 5 months ago already! BUT, because i promised my 3 little girls and my nephew i'd share *their* halloween photos too just like i did with all the little ones from my halloween mini-sessions, i will. so, please sit back and enjoy another little costume parade...

she really did rock this costume.

my little ballerina fairy.

and my tiny ballerina fairy.

she kept tossing her wand aside.

my spooky nephew:

don't let the costume fool you... he's really quite lovable:

happy halloween... in november.

family.

geeze - this sneak peek is *long* over due..... this fun, little session was last weekend already! now, don't start thinking i've gone lazy on you guys, because actually i've been slacking because 2 out of my 3 girls got struck with a horrid stomach virus... then to make matters worse, me and my hubbie got it too. let me just tell you... we've had quite a disgusting week. i don't think i've ever in my life washed so many sheets, blankets, towels, pajamas! anyhow, we are all finally feeling better today and so finally i am ready to start working again!

this little family was a lot of fun and so easy to get along with - felt like i'd known them for longer than just that one day! the two little guys in this session were serioulsy so precious... the youngest was only 3 weeks old! after hanging out with them for a couple of hours, it made me want to try to add a little boy to my family of girls! :) [maybe...]

enjoy the sneak peek!

i *love* this yawn and him peeking out with one eye...

costume parade.

[btw, my *nearly*4 yr old saw the above photo of little snow white and thought she was a doll!]

she's such a happy little thing... so cute!

*love* this b/w:

okay. seriously. how cute is this cowboy?!?!

xoxo, reata

sweet, little E.

Just a super quick sneak peek for the adorable Miss E! I had lots of fun meeting you, A, D & E(and Granny too!)... and I can't wait to show you more from our fun session! I promise... more to come *very* soon! ;)

i *love* how cute her little lips look in this b&w... so squishy and sweet!

xoxo, reata

eyes.

can i just admit that when i look at this photo, i just melt?! this is my littlest A (for new followers of this blog, i must tell you that i have three little girls and their names all start with A). she had just gotten out of the bath and was being all lovey with me... so of course, i did what any other loving mother would do.... i drug her outside and made her sit on the hard concrete so i could take some photos of her! no really, she didn't seem to mind the concrete at all. but, i felt bad because her little knees were getting all buffed looking. SO, i only took 5 pictures... and these are my favorites!

sun. shine.

"well helloooooo, sunshine!" ...the above photo just screams that at me for some reason! i mean seriously, is there anything cuter and more sweet than a little baby face?! especially one that looks like that?! the answer: no. flat out, no.

this little sweet pea was incredibly easy to work with and i was so happy to visit with this family again... i could have hung out and talked with them all day if i could [and i tried to, didn't i M?!]! enjoy the sneak peek guys!

*the* most amazing baby hair... ever.

sweet.
