It is crazy to think that I can say "20 years ago" I wouldn't have thought I would be a mom to five little girls. That was going to be my sister. Well, she wanted four kiddos, two boys and two girls. I am pretty sure she even imagined how they were going to look like and what their names would be. I was going to be like Meg Ryan in "You've Got Mail."
What does that have to do with baby pictures? Nothing, really, Just that I never thought I would be sitting at a table writing on a photography blog while nursing a baby. But I also don't think I would be the photographer I am today (or one at all) if I didn't have any kids.
Anyways, sorry for the tangent, but I love pictures. However, when the twins were born, I struggled with taking pictures of them. I easily captured the essence of my older girls and I didn't just want another picture of the same two babies just in a different outfit. I wanted something more. I have realized that at this early age and stage, I love the images of babies with someone else. Napping on the chest of their oldest cousin, kissed by their mother, held by their awesome aunts, being loved on by their cousins and laughing as they hold hands with an uncle all give me the heart squishies.
