Did you Know?

In Japan, you can buy Green Tea flavored Kit Kat.

Matt is a fan.

Parker – not so much.

Just thought you should know.

we missed your beautiful family this morning!

Adam SquierAugust 31, 2009 - 3:32 pm

It really is amazing what you can find in Japan, isn’t it? I haven’t been back for 20 years or so, but there are some crazy foods there.

oh wow green tea kit kat?! I wonder what the taste is like.

Allow me to catch you up to speed.

Late last June, I had the pleasure to take pictures of the incredibly sweet, incredibly gorgeous (and incredibly pregnant!) Angie.

Mere days later, she gave birth to this handsome little man, Jordan.

A lot can change in a year!

Jordan is now officially on the go.  His grin is infectious and his eyes…oh, those eyes!

karson-9003-web

And most importantly, Jordan is no longer the baby of the family.  He’s the big brother!

Meet Karson.

karson-9087-webPrecious runs in this family in a big way!

I’m a sucker for a good scrunch-face.

Angie, you are so very blessed!  You have two perfect baby boys and I know you couldn’t be any more proud.

And just so you know, I’m keeping my photo schedule very flexible next July just in case I need to squeeze you in…I’m just sayin’.

(Heehee!)

Janica! WOW! *jaw drops* Those newborn pics are AMAZING! That first one (in the green) is STUNNING! What a lucky momma to have such gorgeous boys AND to have you as a photographer!

AngieAugust 23, 2009 - 8:07 pm

Thank you so much for capturing the pure sweetness of our two boys Janica! And just maybe you’re on for next July… if only I could convince Paul that 3 kids under 2 years isn’t crazy.

Chrystal McLemoreAugust 23, 2009 - 10:39 pm

How cute are those two?!?! I have to say these pictures are awesome. They give out such a serene vibe. Love ‘em!!

AllisonSAugust 24, 2009 - 1:20 pm

What adorable boys! These are such sweet photos.

Frank DiMeoAugust 25, 2009 - 11:06 am

Wow Janica these are incredible!
The family must be so pleased to have you doing this for them!

Christina MontemurroAugust 25, 2009 - 11:59 am

Angie… um, wow. Two that close together and you’d consider a third under two… I’m speechless. On the other hand, look how adorable they are – who could blame you! These are beautiful pictures. I think the pair of details are my favorite, but who can choose!

Roz MitchellAugust 25, 2009 - 2:00 pm

Awww! I love baby photos, and this series is just wonderful! Wish I’d looked that good pregnant! Congratulations to them on a GORGEOUS family!

I love the basket portraits — all scrunched up and newborn-ish. Beautiful.

The Leopold Family

There is no shortage of blue eyes in the Leopold family.

Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

Christina and Glen, check and CHECK.  (and helloooooo hot couple!)

And I’m just discovering the world around me…

I have a feeling that Alex is going to be one heck of a big brother.

leopold-0441-web

See what I mean?  (*swoon*)

leopold-0276-web

Toetal sweetness.

leopold-0519-web

Yay, Leopolds!  Christina and Glen live next door to my best friend Lizard and I was thrilled when they asked me to take family pictures.  I have  loved watching their curly-haired, energy-packed kiddo, Alex, grow and grow the past couple of years, and was excited to finally meet sweet Leo, the newest addition the family.

Christina and Glen, THANK YOU for hanging out for a morning full of humidity, toddler chasing, newborn soothing, and picture grinning.  I had a ball and am down for round 2 whenever you say the word.  :)

(and one more because they are so stinking cute)
