Bakersfield Family Photographer-- For Ireen

Seriously, how many pretty genes can one person get? 'Cause I think she got more than her fair share.... ;)

And one of Ireen with her (and my) favorite little Bug....

I only have time to post two right now but there are LOTS more to come.....

Bakersfield Family Photographer--I LOVE THIS FAMILY

Yes. I said LOVE. In all capitals. L-O-V-E.

(*click on images to see them bigger*)

I *LOVE* THIS FAMILY. :)

Of course it helps that they're all wonderfully vibrant, giving, servant-hearted, hard-working, funny (SERIOUSLY, you have no idea...), and LOVING people. And the family bonds with these guys....man, there is no questioning their love for and genuine enjoyment of each other.

They're probably the most entertaining family I've ever met, too. Every time I have talked to the Dad he tells me true stories that either amaze me or put me in stitches. And one story ALWAYS leads to another story...... it's great. :)

Anyway, one branch of their family is moving across the country this week, so we all went out and braved the DENSE fog this morning to get some shots of them all together.

And would you check her out?! How freaking cute is she?? Can you believe she's due next month?? I *heart* this gal. And I am sooo going to miss her little boy when they move.

She was laughing when we took these and everyone else started laughing, too because her baby bump kept bouncing every time she laughed, which would make us laugh, which would make her laugh some more, which would make her laugh harder, which would make us laugh harder....you see how it was. Good times. :D

These are just a quick few since I have one other session I need to be finishing up first, but I couldn't resist.

Bakersfield Newborn Photography --What a beautiful time in a person's life....

*sigh*


I remember these days so well. Learning how to become a family of 4. Marveling at the newness and tinyness of this new little member of your life. Miraculous, precious, quiet moments in between the diapers, and visitors, and laundry, and feedings. Moments where you all revel in just being *together*. Your family.
