Kayden and Brock

Kayden comes to me outfitted in the perfect polka-dot dresses — and this time, she brought with her a baby brother! She is growing so fast, she sang her ABCs to me flawlessly and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” to Brock to make him smile. Brock, at the tender age of one, was content to simply hang out with us girls until he decided enough was enough of this strobe and camera business.:)It is truly my favorite part of my job, getting to know these little people and watching them grow and learn before my lens.

We’re not finished shooting, we have big plans for playing outside in their beautiful yard once spring has bona-fide sprung, so this is sort of just a sneak-peek at the sneak peek.

Sarah (Take I)

Sarah wasn’t quite herself for picture day; poor dear, Mom learned later that she was fighting an ear infection. Even as sick as she was, she was still pretty animated and funny — happiest when she could find her belly button and finally succeeded in pulling off the scratchy tutu.:)

December 23, 2010 - 5:15 pm

Elijah

Elijah was 1 day shy of 3 weeks old for his newborn session. I found him especially amazing to watch as he moves seamlessly from the calm, soothing, peaceful and controlled arms of his parents to the lively, colorful, roughhousing world of his three big brothers.:)

October 10, 2010 - 1:11 pm

Joelle - FANTASTIC!! Especially love the one of all the boys giggling with just Caleb’s feet in the shot and the one at the beginning of Elijah on his back by himself with just a little grin — he looks like SUCH a Peterson boy there! What a lovely football team you’ve got, Jenny & Doug!

October 10, 2010 - 1:49 pm

October 10, 2010 - 7:40 pm

Martha - He’s beautiful! He has such a knowing look for a 1-week-old. I love the one where his hands are in his mouth. These are all awesome.

October 11, 2010 - 1:10 am

The Ishikawas - As his brothers are, Elijah is beautiful! Wonder how the “Gang” will love on him? It was a blessing to see Caleb and John love on Joshua when he was a newborn here in Okinawa.

October 11, 2010 - 7:38 am

I rememeber holding joshua when he was just a wee little one and looking at elijah reminds me of holding joshua. There faces are so similer! Awww boy i miss yall sooooo incrediably much! I wish i could see yall soon! Love always Eilene

October 11, 2010 - 7:21 pm

Mike n Mari L - Wow, the black and white photos are so “natural”. Hey how’s come the little guy didn’t have a shirt to match his big brothers? :o )
The shots where they were up side down and at different angles is a fresh idea. Mike n Mari

October 13, 2010 - 2:38 pm

Aunt Marzella - Hey Jenny & Doug, Fantastic pictures of your God given boys! Thanks for sharing A real neat way to “meet” Elijah until we can meet in person. :grin: I can’t pick a favorite shot but I really like the last one where he’s sleeping with his right fist poised just in case a big brother decides to pester during his nap. :smile: I’m sure naps are rare but precious occurances in the Petterson household these days! Love to all…

October 14, 2010 - 1:33 pm

Christmas in August

This afternoon, I told my kids if we could just knock out our Christmas photo against a red wall I’d found out at 5 Corners, I’d buy them ice cream.  And to my surprise, they complied — well, after we got past their two-headed-four-armed beast series fun.  :)
