There is no better sibling name combo, in my book, than Sam and Ben. Simple, strong, complementary…and one day, best friends.
Sam became a big brother 8 days ago, and today he introduced me to his new baby (whose name is “Baby Brother AND Benjamin”). Sam was a Sugar Baby three years ago, and I love, love, love photographing our babies all grown up, with little brothers and sisters of their own.
Ben proved to be the opposite of his older brother as a newborn…sleepy, curly, and dry ’till the very end (at which point he baptized Mom instead of Dad, another opposite from last time).
But he is just as beautiful, and has the added bonus of having a sweetheart of a big brother to follow around VERY soon.
Three year olds are their very own challenge during any photography session, and my hat goes off to Sam for being unbelievably cooperative today.
He was pretty fascinated with all of Ben’s parts and pieces:
This one just makes me happy…you can see *exactly* how hard Sam was trying to do *exactly* what I was asking him to do. Love this kid!
Sweet Pea Ben:
Congratulations you two…you have a beautiful family, and two very special little boys to watch grow. I hope this next year brings nothing but laughter and joy to your family of four

well, sniff, you know how I love me some Sugar. And these are just so, so gorgeous. But I have to ask: is it fair that that woman had a baby eight days ago (much less a three year old) and she looks that good?! I’ll answer my own question. No. It’s not fair. Not fair at all! Congratulations to the beautiful family, and again, gorgeous work, Jen.
Awww…Annie (previous comment), you’re so sweet. I will tell you that this was the first time I’d put on make up in 8 days and probably only the third time my hair had been washed.
I’d made two trips to the pedi with dirty hair and no make up last week. And the sweater I’m wearing…let’s just say it’s a little snug around the middle…Jen knows how to hide those things. (While getting these shots, my sweater was riding up and my jeans down, and my three year told me I needed to hide my bottom.)
Thank you both for the confidence booster.
Stunning pictures Jen!..I think I’ve looked at them about 10 times in the last 12 hours.
