6 week old

What do you do when you have a stubborn newborn and feel you don't have enough shots? This baby was such a stinker! She would barely sleep, didn't like her tummy, wanted to eat the whole time. I feel I should have had more of a variety of shots. Anyone have tips for situations like this? I told the mother when she was pregnant to schedule the newborn shots for the first couple of weeks of life. She procrastinated and now we have an uncooperative baby. Thought this might be a good "what you don't want to happen to you" post. :)

He sleeps

I haven't posted in a while - things are very slow while it's freezing outside, so I thought I'd share these fairly recent shots.

My older son insists on falling asleep with a light on. I bemoan the power bill, but it does give me a chance to sneak in and take photos of him while he sleeps. (The first time I did this, I showed them to him, and he was so irritated that his eyes were closed - he insists he sleeps with his eyes open!) Nothing spectacular, but I'm glad I've got images like this to hold on to:

And just to be fair, here's my younger son, who makes me jealous every single day with these amazing eyelashes:

A few more of the twins:)

These are a few more of the twins from last week, I have another set tomorrow...a boy and a girl. I'm excited!

Where I live

I just wanted to share this photo of the area I live in. I live in the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana...this is part of Blodgett Canyon:

Portrait "Rules"

Ever wonder what the "rules" are for posing? I came across this page that has some great tips! Sadly I have so many tabs open I honestly can't remember how I got there but I seriously recommend it! http://lumitouch.com/benstudiotutorial/rules.html Be sure to also look at the other lessons on there as they provide some great tips as well.
