annie's newborn shoot

this post.

these pictures.

i am almost speechless about them. 

almost...you know i need to discuss these with you all. 

waaaay back in october, once the impending arrival of annie was made public knowledge i called susie. i just had to set up a newborn photo session with her after seeing her work her magic with our  family pictures last spring. those pics were to die for. i could only imagine what she could do with my girls and a newborn.

boy, oh boy did she outdo herself!!

this session was such a blast. we had it scheduled for exactly 10 days after annie was born. it was a lovely spring morning so we did quite a few pics out in the backyard. i think you'll see the biggest sisters were over the top excited to have their picture taken with their baby sis. ryan even had me look up some picture ideas on pinterest that she could do with annie. she's a piece of work, that one.

may, on the other hand was not all that excited. she was pulling some typical two year old behavior and didn't want to cooperate. i didn't stress though...it's what life is right now. she's little miss independent and will only do things when she wants to do them. i fell ya may, i really do and i appreciate the few pics you did join us for.

so without further adieu...here they are. (get comfy, there are a lot!!)




does annie have a good mono or what?



the pinterest pose...she nailed it



lill's turn for the pinterest pose. again...nailed it

a fan favorite on Facebook and instagram...and look who decided to join us!




the big sisters got busy coloring while we got some solo shots of annie.


i'm glad we got these...it fell off the next day.


that didn't last too long.

and then they got in the crib with her

my beauties

silly faces

this one is just too much. the hair, the eyes, the hand holding.
my heart just melted.



couldn't have a session without a solo shot of the bigs
