the babe

i found out hours after these pictures that emery had a double ear infection.  no bueno for a photo shoot.  you can see the smiles are missing :(  i told the photographer how dumb i was for bringing in a sick baby... and she retook them for free.  lovely.

i also screwed up by waiting too long...she was mobile by these pics.  i thought she would never crawl so i was a little blindsided :)

a sad emery is still a pretty emery!

look @ her poor red nose :( anyone know how to photoshop a raw nose???

so not into it.  what the hell is on my head?!?

yum.

this is where the retakes start...she is happy...but guess what?!?  still had an ear infection!...obviously i am lacking in the whole knowing when your baby has an ear infection department?!?!

there you have it.  as you can see, the photog LOVES props, headbands, etc.  and they actually came in handy (baby buggy, suitcase, and crate) to keep her in one place....

all i wanted was one good pic of each kid and i think i got it....yay!!

best buds

i forgot about one sibling shot she took :)  and beckett...SO proud of himself for mastering "hook 'em"...and the double "hook 'em"

the boy

love him.

my first born

these pictures are from the second photo shoot that i forced my kids to participate in.  i will post beckett's tomorrow.  as you can see, it isn't even a challenge when it comes to ellis...and i am all about the challenge :)  for real...she would be thrilled to take pictures everyday.  i didn't attempt to get all three together (except for the failed santa shot) because we already had cute one from the christmas card picture.  so...they will all be solo shots!  easy peasy.

her hat says it all
