"Born Together, Friends Forever"

This summer has been a busy one. Between work, photo sessions, training for a marathon and organizing a charity, I haven't had much time to update the blog.  But hopefully you have been able to keep up with my most recent work on my Facebook page.  If you haven't had the chance yet - go ahead & check it out!

Here's a quick update of the adorable Miller twins back in the early summer!  They were four months in these pictures and if you think they are adorable through the lens, you should see them in person!

"A joy that is shared, is a joy made double."

"You are loved just as you are....

Right this very moment...

 The world has become more wonderful just because you are here."

"Voyage upon life's sea,

To yourself be true, 

And whatever your lot may be, paddle your own canoe."

"There is no other love like the love for a brother...

There's no other love like the love from a brother."

"You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore....

But let there be spaces in your togetherness...

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you."

"Being a brother

is better than

being a super hero."

"God touched our hearts so deep inside, our special blessing multiplied."

Four little feet.  Four tiny hands.  What a surprise, but even more - what a blessing.  I remember how surprised and excited I was when I heard the news, I can only imagine what Bridget and John were feeling!  Of course I immediately thought about the fun we could have taking some pictures when they were born!  And that is exactly what we did a few weeks ago!

"Twice as much love, two blessings from above." 

"They placed you in our arms...

 And all our dreams came true."

"There's two to wash, two to dry: There's two who argue, two who cry...

There's two to kiss, two to hug: And best of all two to love."

"The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been...

And until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him."

"We came into the world like brother and brother...

 And now let's go hand in hand...

 

Not one before another." (William Shakespeare)

 

"I walk beside you, where ever you are, whatever it takes, no matter how far."

"We worry what a child will become tomorrow...

Yet we forget that he is someone today." (Stacia Tauscher)

True to their personalities - Ben was awake and Sean was taking a quick nap! 

"What's cuter than one baby? A precious set of twins! With matching little outfits, and matching little grins...

 With twice as many babies, how very busy you will be...

Just think of all the loving they'll bring your family." 

"Every child born into the world is a new thought of God, an ever fresh and radiant possibility."

This shot just makes me laugh... is this foreshadowing the future??

"Hearts entwined

Twenty fingers, twenty toes,

Two sweet babies with cheeks of rose.

Born on the same day, two gifts from above,

Lives entwined, two babies to love."

“Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven.”

Well it's been a while since my last post and quite honestly it had been a while since I picked up my camera for anything that I felt was worth sharing.  Finally, I decided it was time to escape the uninspiring, humdrum of winter, pick up my camera and take advantage of a certain 4 month old that I happen to be absolutely 100% in love with.

I have followed this little one from when he was in his mommy's tummy, to when he was a month old and now we were able to capture some 4 month old memories.  

I'm not going to lie - they don't get much cuter than Henry here!

"So quickly you grow with bounds and leaps but the sweetest memories are mine for keeps."

What a dubious look - he is not so sure about this camera business!

"Children will not remember you for the material things you provided, but for the feeling that you cherished them."

"Build me a son, whose heart will be clear, whose goals will be high...

A son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget to weep...

One who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past."

There was a necessary nap break in between shots... just a quick cat nap, no big deal!

"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get ...

It's what you are expected to give - which is everything." 

"I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes... 

to the windows of your opportunities...

 And to the most special places your heart has ever known."

Henry's face is priceless... he's not so sure about this morning's activities.

 "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, is when I carried you."

"A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men."

And scene. The star has had enough.
