We had a great time at our shoot yesterday.  Little A and baby sister, H, are unbelievably adorable!  Get a load of Miss Chunky Monkey!  ABSOLUTELY LOVE those rolls

Baby Max is only 6 weeks old.  His big sister and brother love him to bits – and Eden was such a big help!   She loves to hold him and feed him his bottle

Check out Eden’s fairy and tutu shots – she raided the “costume closet” and a had a ball with dress-up!  lol!  Love it!

This little guy was so full of smiles!  And so much expression for such a little guy.  He’s not even four months old – and holding his head up beautifully and rolling over!
