Accepting Chaos {St. Louis Family Portrait Photographer} Firefly Universe Fine Portrait Photography

July 12, 2012 · Birthday Shoots, Family Bonds, Growing Babies, Kiddos

A few years back, I took some beautiful maternity portraits for this family, and then along came a baby boy.  That baby boy was showered with love and cuddles, and his parents got his photos taken every three months, like good parents should.  A couple years after that, however, their lives were turned upside down.  This adorable little family found out they were having triplets!  Someone bought them a session from a different photographer as a gift, so I, unfortunately, did not get to take the newborn portraits.  Mom called me right away and scheduled a session.  However, when the day came for me to go to their house, Mom had forgotten I was coming!  Everyone in the house was sick…reeeaally sick!!!  I won’t include the details, but it was bad.  Months later, Mom was finally able to get her toddler, three babies, hubby, and two helpers out of the house for another photo shoot.  I’ll admit that this was definitely a challenging session!!  I think I still got some cute shots…

I call this little series “Leaf Thief.”

Meanwhile…big brother needed some hugs from Mommy and Daddy while his sister hashed out who deserved the leaf.

And here are a few 1st birthday shots!

Mom, I love that you’ve learned to “accept chaos,” and wish I knew how to do the same!!  Thanks so much for trusting that I could capture some good memories for you!
