My babies! {children photography, sonoma county children photographer, tutus, bee hats}

Everyone assumes that being a photographer I "must" take TONS of photos of my kids. Well truth be told with my first, my son Aidan, I was so nervous, I thought I was going to brake him so I rarely did anything creative with him. Then I didn't know how to really juggle it all, the big camera and the new baby. I took a good amount of photos of him though. But then came Miss Isabella 20 short months later. Then came the colic! and let me tell you Mariah Carey's got nothin on Miss Isabella! So needless to say there was not much to photograph but her throat! and if she wasn't in my arms I was outside pulling my hair out! The only time I really pull my big camera out is when Ben or someone else is with me to help me manage my cagey bunch. Aidan always loves to run the second you look away...it's just not a good idea to mix photography and single person parenting! On my Husband's days off I try to get the camera out as much as possible but my other obstacle is that the two of them never fail, they always look MISERABLE when I put them next to each other for a photo. With out the camera they love each other. Well ok let me rephrase that, Isabella is OBSESSED with Aidan, he can do no wrong in her world! Aidan on the other hand is finally coming around. He used to just pretend she didn't exist and lately he's actually been quite fond of her. But when the camera comes out the two of them stop dead in their tracks and give me their most miserable stare!
Last week I took the kids over to my friend Trinity's house in Windsor for a little play date. I decided to bring along some cute tutus and headbands that I had purchased on Etsy from Petite Peanut. (my favorite vendor on Etsy) Trinity has 3 girls so I figured between her Husband, Trinity, and I we could juggle the kids and I could snap a few cute photos with the tutus and these really cute bee hats I got for Aidan and Isabella from Snap Happy-Boutique. It was like a three ringed circus but I did end up getting some cute photos! Thought I'd share...
