Baby T's Extended Family Session - The Teasers - Irish Eyes Photography

Good afternoon, friends.  I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.  Mine was great and exhausting, but the good kind of exhausting.  I clocked a lot of hours in the garden, and then ended the weekend with a family cookout.  All the while being thankful to those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that I have the freedom to do these things.Today I'm here to share some teasers from my first session since Conor was born!  How exciting.  It's been great -- a bit more stressful, but great -- returning to work.  Sometimes I do miss using nap time to nap or, watch Mad Men whilst lying on the couch. :)

We first met Baby T's parents when they did a maternity session with me over a year ago.  Now, that baby is Baby T and he's not even a baby anymore!  Toddler T is more like it.  This kiddo is adorable and, if you happen to follow his parents on Facebook, you know he lives a fabulous life.  He may not say much yet, but the captions from both of his parents are hilarious and delightful.  I'm sure this kiddo is going to have a great sense of humor with some quick wit himself someday soon.

His parents gifted this session to their extended families for Christmas.  They wanted all of his closest relatives (grandparents, aunts and uncle) to have some portraits with their favorite kiddo.  In a grandparent's backyard, Baby T and I spent the afternoon picking out different spots for him to play with each of his relatives.  He was a champ.  He rocked this session like crazy.  So much so that picking out teasers to share was extremely difficult.  I can't wait to share the full gallery with everyone at the order session.  This was a really fun shoot.

Onto the teasers:

Here's the whole family.  We've got two sides here: both Mum and Dad's side.  See if you can figure out who's related to whom.  ;)

Baby T has a great smile.  He surely gets it from his parents - this is a photogenic trio.

Sometimes, there were props...

Sometimes he liked to show off his toddling skills (he's almost able to walk on his own!)...

Sometimes he showed off his serious side...

(Can you handle those eyes?!  Too much.  I just love this shot here and how he's snuggled safely in his Aunt's arms as we walked to our destination.)

And sometimes, I caught him in the sweetest moments.  I actually edited some of these a little differently to showcase how truthful and lovely these moments are...

Can't wait to share some more!-Kerry:)
