It’s amazing how fast babies grow! Baby Addison is now 6 months old and full of personality! She is quite the poser too!

Maya and I spent a weekend with Addison and her mother, Mary, in the beautiful hill country in Austin! We relaxed, ate and talked about how our babies were going to be best friends for life just like the two of us!

Here are some shots of Addison from the weekend! More pics of Maya and Addison together to follow!

This was probably one of the quickest shoots I’ve had. 5 month old Phoenix was willing to do whatever I wanted in a short amount of time! He sat up all by himself for the first time during our session too! What a great documentation of a milestone.

His father, James and I have known each other since childhood. James’ sister, Mary, is my best friend who is mom to Addsion…I’ve blogged about her a couple of times on here. SO, Phoenix and Addison are cousins AND are only 3 days apart! How cool is that?

It’s always exciting to see friends with new babies, but not so exciting to realize we are getting older! LOL!

Paul is all grown up! I’ve known him since he was a toddler, so seeing him this way makes me feel really old! I remember him being a very active kid-jumping, climbing, bouncing and staying up all night long! He has changed since those days but one thing that has remained the same is his smile :). Not very many people smile with their eyes, but Paul does, without even knowing it! It’s the same smile he had as a young boy and the one that I tried to capture in these images…

The cold weather has kept us indoors, but today I decided to brave it and take Maya outside! She’s content with playing inside, but sometimes I feel like she needs to feel the wind…however, today was not a good day! Even though the sun was out it was blisteringly COLD! Where is this weather coming from?

I didn’t last long…3 minutes and two passes down the slide for Maya was all I could take! She acted like it was a warm sunny day and didn’t let a little wind and chill phase her. Ahhh….to be a kid again!
