Bianca 

Tah Dahhh! The cake! Does it look like a strawberry??? 

Bianca's 2nd birthday party was today. Look how joyful she is! :-D 

this shot was actually a goof up from yesterday --- it was way overexposed such that the woman had very little features left, but I decided to see what fun I could have to salvage a proof out of it. ;-) It's one of my personal favorites of the bunch now. 

Kids watching cartoons in our bed again. Gotta love PBS in the afternoons so Mommy can get some work done. I photographed a newborn this morning and still have that feeling of being in the presence of something sacred and divine floating around me. Oh, and that means lots of computer work to get the proofs out too! 

Ivan helped me test out a new backdrop from Sky High Backdrops that I ordered in New Orleans. I like it!

Posing in a silly way with Mr. Corn Head (friend of Mr. Potato Head).

Ivan having fun for the camera. ;-)

Oh how cute! Sister and Brother having a tea party together... ha - and notice how they are both pushing each other out of the way. A classic "sibling moment." 

This is Ivan's latest idea of how to pose with a toy. He does this with everything now, and refuses to go on with picture taking until I satsify his wish that I take a picture of the toy he holds up. 

Bianca saw my new porcelain tea party set in a bag that I bought for new props for little girl portraits and she wanted to try them out. I told her she had to put on a dress and have a real tea party for the camera if she wanted to play with them, and boy was she excited! 

"I leave the room for 3 minutes and look what they do!" EEEK! But I couldn't really yell at them, it did turn out to be a lot of fun, and really cheap compared to a new toy. ;-) 

All wrapped up! 

Super Babies! in wrapping paper capes. 

Was that a yummy crayon, Bianca?

Somebody is having fun with this. 

Echo loved playing tug-o-war with the paper. 

Little Angel? 

Bianca trying on the hair wreath in the studio. I guess I need to put her in a pretty outfit and do some flower-girl photos with her too! 

After the maternity shoot I did yesterday, Bianca had fun coming to "clean up." The set never got much cleaner, but she had a lot of fun. :-) 

This photo is from last August when we went to the local carnival, but I never got the folder of images posted. It's still a favorite of mine and I wanted to share it. :-) Better late than never? 

This one was from a day or two before Christmas when we had our first (only?) snow for this winter. I think they are adorable in their matching "Michelin" coats and hats. I have some .avi's of them playing outside too. Bianca would fall down and get stuck on her back like a turtle because she could hardly move in the big puffy coat. *giggle* "Help Mommy! STUCK!"
