Twins of many expressions

Kendell — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 02:55:48 +0000

I had such a blast hanging out with these twins and their uber cool parents. These kids stole my heart with their hundreds and hundreds of expressions. He (I’m told) usually hams it up for the camera- was coy with me, and she was so full of smiles! Mom and dad were so laid back and such a joy to hang out with- really sweet people. Even the dog was great- she was so well behaved and loved the attention. It was a beautiful afternoon with really wonderful people. I simply can’t wait to share these images with you!!

The most delicious toes ever!

Her smiles melted my heart!

Aren’t her eyes simply dreamy?

I have had the great pleasure of working with this family before. Welcome to their newest addition! Big brother is doing great with his baby brother and the mom is handling 2 under 2 with grace ;) Mom was impressed with my ability to understand her toddler. I think I need a shirt that says “I speak toddler!”

This little guy was born in Dec and he is already so full of personality!

Look I caught a sneeze!

Check out these eyes.

Who says babies don’t smile??

And here is the quintessential family portrait with a two year old

Firsts

I simply adore this family. Good people, really good people. I had the pleasure of photographing their family, with a focus on their younger son, and he graciouslyhad a couple of “firsts” during our session. He stood up on his own without holding a hand for the first time, he is practising walking, and even though he had a cold, he was a real trooper.

And of course some squishy hugs with the older son and mom

Happy 11.10.09!!

Donations for Midwives going to the Dominican Republic

Kendell — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 23:04:23 +0000

Dear friends,

Some dear friends of mine who are Midwives and Midwives apprentices are going to the Dominican Republic for a midwifery clinical trip in July. They each need to bring 100 pounds of supplies with them!

They are asking our community for items that they would be willing to donate.

Items do NOT have to be midwifery-specific. In fact, one of the biggest needs is for travel/hotel shampoos, soaps, and other small toiletries, as the hospitals do not have these and the moms typically don’t either.

Another huge need is for clean (used) flannel-type baby blankets and newborn clothes. New is not important as they will have to wash everything first anyway.

To that end, below is the list of requested items. If you have items to donate, contact me and I will get you in touch with the women who are going.

If you happen to be at a yard sale and see a huge stash of newborn clothes/blankets or bags of hotel toiletries, the women would be happy to pay you back for them.

Desired items include:

*Single bed sheets tops and bottoms

*Baby clothes /blankets (summer season preferred) infant-12 mo

*Photo paper / 4×6 for moms to get picture of baby

*Clothes for moms or kids

*Soaps, shampoos and towels for moms and babies

*Spanish books or info on pregnancy, birth, PostPartum, breastfeeding

*Black pens

*Silk flowers (to make fancy pens…apparently the nurses LOVE this!)

*Small toys to give to kids

*Gloves, sterile and non-sterile

*Chux pads, washable type best

*Gallon ziplock bags (to make kits)

* General OB / L&D items:
1. bulb syringes
2. OB meds
3. surgical cloths
4. thermometers
5. O2 equipment
6. ambu bags
7. breast pumps
8. disposable baby wipes

Thank you so much for anything you can do to help, including good thoughts for a safe and productive trip.

cousins session- Totally Hysterical

Kendell — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 16:00:59 +0000

These kids had me laughing so hard. Their love and connection with each other was contagious. These kids live on two different continents in three different areas and they pick up like they are all neighbors.

This guy was happy to go along with all the torture his big cousins could dish out

I loved all the orange here!

This guy has a poets heart…either that or he is a great actor

Her laughter lighted up the entire beach

And this beauty is going to go far in her life..

Their true personalities shine through

Another one of the three girls.

And beautiful miss S.

This little one wasn’t really into being photographed- but wow we got so many darling images of her! She really won my heart- and the compliments from the mom made my day- no- they made my week.

I love how dad and daughter are hanging out on the couch - chilling with each other.

tee hee- so cute!
