Brother & sister together

Litte Azundo and Nina are 2 very fun, spunky kids I got to photograph again. I say again because I had the pleasure of photographing their family shortly after Azundo was born. It’s always heart-warming and awe-inspiring to see little babies grow to these big kids full of personalities and energy. Oh boy, can you say energy! Azundo only knows one speed and it’s FAST! He chased and threw the ball for almost the entire time and his time sitting down was brief. Still, he was always having fun, just look at his face. And his big sister Nina was a hoot too. I especially like the image of the sweet moment when the little brother plants a kiss on sister’s cheek.

Big news

portraits by funky monkey photography family portrait children portraits baby portrait  Big newsI have some great personal news to share with you all. I’m so excited to finally make the big announcement: we’re expecting another baby mid-summer! As you may already know, we have a 6-year-old girl named Kyla and now she’s going to be a big sister! Growing up as the only child, I always longed for a sibling especially a sister, someone to play with and share my childhood with. Yet another reason I’m so glad we’ll be giving our daughter the opportunity to grow up with a…. sister! That’s right, we already found out it’s another girl and we couldn’t be any happier. Sisters rock!

Kyla is very excited too, she’s been telling everyone about the new baby coming and announcing it with such pride it makes my heart swell up with joy. She already offered to help with “everything but dirty diapers,” ha! I’m sure she will be a great helper, she’s always shown great care and interest in babies. Of course I expect some adjustments and changes will need to be made, going from the only child to a big sister is an important responsibility after all. We’ll adjust together going from a family of 3 to a family of 4!

Since Kyla is such a big girl already and holds so much anticipation for the baby, we wanted to make her a part of the process and took her with us for the gender reveal ultrasound. Soon after, we celebrated by letting her pick out a special gift for her little sister in the hospital gift shop (see attached iPhone photo), visiting the near-by zoo and finishing the celebrations with a visit to our favorite local ice cream shop. It was a fun day I hope she’ll remember forever.

Due to the impending changes, I will be taking the months of July and August off work, expecting to return in September. During my maternity leave, I will have an assistant answering emails and calls and scheduling any future appointments, so don’t be afraid to check in and schedule your fall family photo session.

PS. Today I’m linking up with another blogger Kelly’s Korner where moms share their experiences with having daughters. It’s a fun read!

New baby

Just barely a week old, this little baby brother was just an angel – slept through the entire session and didn’t fuss at all. His first portrait session took place in his home and his mom loved all the baskets and hats I brought with. I enjoyed meeting not only him but his entire family!
