Jen + Adam + London + Sterling's Sneak Peek

You know when you are eating something you really, really like and you keep telling yourself, "just one more" and before you know it you've eaten the entire package? That's exactly what happened to me as I was editing photos of this ADORABLE family. Every time I decided that I was done, I'd see just one more that I had to include and before I knew it their sneak peek was double the normal size! I hope you enjoy seeing these sweet photos of Jen and Adam and their boys as much as I enjoyed taking and editing them.

Their little guy, Sterling, is 5 months old, and isn't quite ready to sit up on his own but Jen really wanted some photos of him with his big brother, London. So, my (very light weight and easy to move) living room chair came to our rescue. How sweet is this photo of London holding Sterling's hand. Melt.


The whole family got together for some photos in the chair...


And then we took some photos of Adam and London while Sterling had a little snack...


I just have to share a cute little story from the session: I was talking to London, and asking him for ideas about what we should do next. I never realized it before, but apparently I have a habit of saying, "What do you say?" when I mean "What do you think?" or "Is that OK with you?" Every time I said it to London he immediately responded with "Thank you!" Cutest thing ever, right?  Jen and Adam obviously have done a great job of raising him to be very polite.


I love being able to capture fun moments like these!...


If you don't know by now, I have a HUGE thing for shoe photos.  I tumbled instantly head over heels in love when I saw this image...


Jen and Adam changed places with the boys so we could take some sweet mother, son photos...




Then Adam and Sterling joined us for some more shots of the whole family...



Adorable, adorable, adorable!...




Swoon!...


By this point, the boys were tuckered out and London had well earned the treat he kept asking about throughout the session. (He decided that his treat should be to go to Disneyland if we was good during his photos. Smart kid.) So, we decided to take a few photos of Jen and Adam together...




I absolutely have to send a HUGE thank you to my husband for helping me with this session, and especially for keeping an eye on London and Sterling while I captured the photos of Jen and Adam together. My sweet hubby isn't exactly a kid person and he got a bit of the "deer in the headlights" look when we asked him to watch them for a few minutes. It never ceases to amaze me just how far that man will go to help me out when I need him to. He's definitely a keeper!

And last but certainly not least, Jen and Adam, thank you so much for allowing me to take these photos for you and to spend an evening with your precious family. It was so wonderful to meet all of you and to capture these memories for you.  I'm so happy that I was able to give you your very first official family photos with the four of you! :)
