Nothing pulls my heart strings as much as a mommy with her baby. Nothing in this world compares to the love that one has for their child.

You can just see it on this moms face. The whole shoot was a look of adoration for this lil one. OHHH what a chunker this one is!!! I love love love chunky babies!!!

It was a great shoot and a beautiful day. Tender moments captured forever. I know when I look back at this time when my kids were this age I just wish I could go back for a bit to squeeze them up.

So squeeze them up as much as you can!!!! Once they grow its harder to get them in your lap for cuddle times.

I swear I would have had 10 kids had 2 things happened… one is I would have started earlier  and the other if we could have skipped the middle of the night wake up feedings and just have them born this age.

NOT that I did not totally love newborn stage.. I just remember how EXHAUSTING it was is all.

I am crazy in love with this lil one…. She is Maggie who works for me lil girl Charlotte. Maggie has 2 boys and then we all were hoping for the 3 a girl and well… well… she is SO girl.

I think she has more clothes and head accessories than anybody I know. Oh and how cute she looks in everything. I am just in love.

So here is to chubby butts, huge grins, and girls!

There is something so sweet about 2 brothers. They will always have a forever friend. No matter how mean kids at school can be… you always have that one guy you can count on who will love you no matter what. That is just why I think there are brothers.

I was too honored that this family drove ALL the way from Lancaster to see me! I said “oh are you visiting family while you are here?” she says NO…

That made my day!

 Thank you so much for thinking of Me to do this documenting for you… Such an honor!

I love to see boys loving their moms… and boys just LOVE their mommies so much!

what do you get when you take a 2 year old boy to the park? A work out. Yes lots of running around and chasing. They certainly are not going to stand there and smile for you. NOPE.

These sessions are all about peek a boo… I am gonna get you’s, and this lil one likes the fake sneezes. Too cute  This lil guy LOVES his basket ball and is truly ALL boy 100%

We did good considering the park was so crowded with people being it was the 1st day of great weather weekend of the year.

I really hope in my later years this is something I can still do. I suppose keeping fit and strong is the only option!

Here is to this lil boy… funny, sporty, busy and happy!

Its only been a year…. how they change. I think they change more in the first year of life more than any other time.

The C family are about to welcome another BOY here in a few months. I am all for having kids close together. Hard at the start, but in the long run they are good friends.. despite the sibling rivalry.

Whew!!!! thats everyday in my house :-/

I cant wait to meet baby brother and photograph all 3 together!!!   OHHHH too cute.

These 2 have sweet personalities, and seem to know they are twins. There were lots of great shots

and I am so happy for mom and dad who were saying that they dont care for the camera and run from it when it is out.

This is usual but its also different when its MOM or DAD taking the photos as to going to a special place and playing around with me!

So here is to hiring a PROFESSIONAL someone who has been doing this thing for MANY years and knows what to do…

so mom and dad can relax and know its just going to “happen”

Thank you to the C family!!! xoxoxo

OH I just love this one… Just a random shot of mommy just admiring her boys…

These are always my favorite how they interact with each other.. I love how he is touching his brother so sweetly.

What an amazing year it has been here at Melinda Kim Photography. I have The MOST AMAZING clients, I just can’t begin to explain. I usually die off about this time, but I started back up just 2 days after Christmas and have not stopped. Every year I pray “God is this what you want me to do? As I only want to do YOUR will not mine”  So here is to another year of an answered prayer.

God is So good,  all the time.

Talk about blessings… This is what having children is all about. This is what we struggle over all these years to get to this. being a grandparent, as I hear, is the most rewarding time.

How can you not feel that you have done something right with all these blessings. Every one of them beautiful. Every one of them amazing in their own way.

I truly love this family, and I am so thankful to have once again, gotten to photograph them all together.

So Happy New Year… here is to an amazing 2013. May this year bring all the joy, happiness and love to you and yours!

Why does time go so fast? I suppose if you did not have kids and see how big they get every year, then possibly time does not fly by?

I swear before I know it this one will be in high school (yikes)

I just LOVE these boys I love that they actually look forward to seeing me and having a photo shoot with me every year.

For boys… I just think that is RAD!

Here is to never growing too old to see me and having fun getting your photos done!

All 3 with their completely different personalities. But so obvious they are siblings. I love getting to shoot new clients {thanks bills camera HB} Just as I love to see all my clients who come every year, it is nice to get to meet new families.

What a sport brother has to be with the sisters.  One is very girly and does not want you to mess with her hair, and the other loves to skateboard and jump on your back. What a fun family this has to be on a daily basis.

Thank you for allowing me to get this opportunity to document this time in their lives. I hope that what I do brings lots of smiles and adoration for your kids and family for years to come.

And who does not love a mustache?

What do you do with 3 kids you have been photographing for the last 7 years… and you really have done it all?

Well you get silly in the studio.

I hope I am not blowing the Christmas card by blogging this… But I just could not help but post how fun these are.

I just love these kids. I was telling mom that I got tears when I was editing them, looking at their faces… I can still see the little kids in them.

I dont know if it was the shoot and being silly, or that I just remember their faces so long ago.

Anyhow I had fun. I rarely shoot in here and I think it needs to make a comeback.

Everything comes back around right?
