Way back in 2007 I blogged about how much I love third babies, and I laugh now because my third arrived just over a year after that post. I laugh, also, because my philosophy on the magic of three hasn’t changed a bit.

Third kids are vivacious, determined, raucous and rambunctious.  They HAVE to be in order to be heard over the older kids (and don’t get me started on the fun that comes with 4, 5, 6 or even 7 (NO-NOT A PREDICTION THIS TIME).

Sweet Annie was a big-eyed newborn the last time I saw her, and she fits the bill of the typical third child to an absolute ‘T’.  In fact-I Instagram’d this image as soon as I saw it (mostly because it made me literally laugh out loud, and also because it was such a great way to wrap up this amazing year of sessions. With a face like this, what’s not to love?

But on a second pass, these next two were equally as eye-catching.

And then you see this sweetness.  She completes this little sibling group so well. And can produce an image that any parent of three would love to hang on their wall:

I want her exuberance for life. Can I have that? Please?

*happy sigh*…LOVE.

What a great way to wrap up an incredible year!  Hark, I hear angels singing…WE MADE IT!  I have one more session to blog (from a cookie-making, multi-generational session today (so stinkin’ cute. trust me)), and a whole lot of Santa to make happen this weekend.  We’re hitting the ground running in 2012 with newborns galore, our new website debut, spring minis to plan, a partnership with a nationwide children’s line to unveil, and just a TON of fun things to play around with.

Give me a week or two to collapse after this crazy season though…and we’ll be back at it VERY soon!

MWAH and XO,

Jen

Cory, Courtney + Cedric {dallas family photographer)

December 21, 2011 – 1:05 am

Every year Sugar donates a session and prints to a school that is near, dear, and so very revered by us…the one my children have attended for six years!  It is a community that we are proud to be a part of, and giving back is a personal highlight. Plus, every few years a new family snags the much sought after package, and I get to know one of our families and their kids up close and personal.

This year’s big winner yielded not just one kiddo I know, but two. Twins Cory and Courtney have been in one (or as are now, in BOTH) of my older kids’ classes through the years, and it was a pleasure to get to know their family a little more in depth (well, I mean I’ve gleaned through lunches with the kids which twin was born first, and how many minutes younger the other one is…but I had no idea they have an older brother, or that their parents are as cute as can be. THIS is why I love lunching with my kids and their friends, btw. I learn SO MANY interesting facts about the families through their kids. Be afraid. ;) )

But, I digress.

Cory and Courtney introduced me to their brother Cedric B (an Aggie!), and we truly had a fun time together.

Jake, Josh + Hannah {Flower Mound Family Photographer}

November 28, 2011 – 12:33 am

Jake, Josh and Hannah joined us just before Thanksgiving for a little fun at the park…and they were truly the perfect way to kick off a family-centered holiday (plus, remember how gorgeous the weather was that afternoon?).  This family genuinely adores one another, and it was so easy to just sit back and click my shutter as they teased and played with and loved on one another.

Hannah was especially comfortable in front of the camera…but she comes by it honestly. Her mom owns the *cutest* little clothing shop for girls and Hannah is used to modeling the outfits.  It just doesn’t get easier than this family.

I just *had* to FaceBook this image….the first I pulled from the card and it made me giggle. We NEVER get tired of embarrassing your oldest kids around here…especially with kisses ;)

Gage + Caitlin {dallas family photographer}

November 23, 2011 – 1:18 am

Another six-years-in-a-row session, and another how-much-do-I-love-my-job day.

Gage was a big-eyed 3 month old at our first session…and while the big eyes haven’t changed, he has grown into quite the young man.

Caitlin has started, and now finished, college in the years I’ve known her…and nothing makes you feel older than watching milestones pass by (am I right?).

Handsome boy, beautiful girl, perfect light. Have I told you lately that I love my job? ;)

Kayla + Will {dallas childrens photographer}

November 22, 2011 – 1:47 pm

This was our SIXTH (or is it seventh?) session together, and these kids (and their mom) are an annual highlight for me.  We chit-chat our way through, catch up on the goings on in each others’ lives, and in the process snag some fun images to continue to wallpaper their house for yet another year. It just doesn’t get better.

Will is always our little monkey, and Kayla is the sweetest big sister (who rolls her eyes and puts up with it every year like a champ).

 

Hands down, my favorite photograph of Kayla ever. EVER. Gorgeous.
