Baby Portrait Session :: Twin Boys @ Six Months

Yesterday I had the pleasure of hanging out with the two of the most adorable little men I have met in some time. Baby boys C & L are the sons of Eric & Robin, who were given a Circle of Life Photography certificate as a gift from friends for a baby portrait session (this is an obvious hint/reminder that gift certificates make awesome baby shower gifts!! okay. done plugging now ;-) I am still in amazement at the boys' sweet dispositions and their ability to nap anywhere at the drop of a hat (I saw it happen~ seriously they can fall asleep anywhere, with very little fuss!)

While the boys are identical twins, I was happy to find out that they have enough physical differences for someone with a trained eye to tell them apart~ which helped me a lot in figuring out who-was-who after I got home and started going through the images. After a little dilemma over which ones to post...and trying a few different processing effects, here are the ones I was particularly tickled with... feel free to post a comment if you like one (or more) in particular and I hope you enjoy these little guys~ check out the adorable hats Mom found for them~ accessories like this make a world of difference in portraits and take super cute to over-the-top adorableness!










I know most Moms don't like pics of their kids with Nuks, but this stage
really is so short that it's wayyy cute~ both now and years later!

Giving Back~ Organizations supported by Circle of Life Photography

In giving back, Circle of Life Photography's main goal is to help those experiencing extreme poverty and nourishing them with food, shelter and spiritual guidance. Education is a big part of helping people learn how to help themselves and change the downward spiral of poverty for a better future for themselves and their children. Locally, a more tangible way of giving back is through using my photography gifts to serve others who are experiencing crisis (see NILMDTS and Pillows of Love.)
