Introducing Abigail Marie Fager & Cameron David Koehn!

Abigail was born Feb. 13th and Cameron was born Feb. 15th.

Conveniently enough, the two mommies were able to get rooms right next to each other! How amazing is that?!!!

Cameron’s big Brother, Christian came to visit while I was there.

Karen (Mommy) showed him the umbilical cord.
…But that grossed him out and told her to take the baby away. 🙂
Ok, any mom out there knows that right after giving birth we women do not look our best. We are tired, swollen, and usually without makeup (AHHHH!)…so naturally Karen wasn’t too interested in having her picture taken. BUT…I snapped this and thought it was the most amazing picture. She looks so beautiful holding her new treasure. Hopefully she won’t kill me for posting this.
Who doesn’t love baby feet!!!

SNOW DAY!

Well, as a mom and photographer I feel like I have really neglected my personal memories of my children. I regretfully admit that I have not done a good job of photographing ordinary days of my children’s lives. In fact, I haven’t even set aside to take nice portraits of them in a LOOOOONG time. So, today was a perfect opportunity to break out the camera and have some fun.

Although, as always my kids are my most difficult subjects. This picture is a good representation of all the pictures I took for the first half hour….of their backs. They thought it was a game to run away from mommy and her camera. Geeeez.

These next two pictures show my son as the typical leader….

…and my daughter aways just a few steps behind him.
It’s kinda hard to see, but Tate is holding a short, fat stick in his hand…that he took away from Niki……and that made her sad…but…

First I must say this is one handsome 1-yr-old! Second, I have to mention, this is not a normal child. This is my second time photographing this little chap, and he is way too happy to be normal.

Ok, ok…I know he is a BOY, but a mom can have her fun!

Aren’t these wings adorable!

Many of you have seen my little sample book of the 3 week old baby…well this is that baby. Already a year old, and beautiful as ever. Her mama is one of my best buds and is such a great mom. Here are some of the cutest pics from our session yesterday. Too cold to go out side, but we got some great shots with the studio lights.

These two bellies-full-of-life belong to my dear friends, Kristin & Karen. They are sisters that have due dates within days of each other. Karen’s a professional mom by now with her son Christian already 1 year old…but this is Kristin’s first time with motherhood. This picture was taken at Kristin’s awesome baby shower last week…this is really delayed, sorry.

I’m am eagerly awaiting their new arrivals. I’ve been craving some fresh new babies to photograph. Now that my daughter is 3 1/2 and I can’t have any more, I’m starting to feel the baby fever. I guess it was good I am the first of my friends and siblings to start a family…I will have plenty of future babies to love on…and still get a full night’s rest. 🙂
