Surprise Sibling Photo Shoot at Home

Remember last week when I said that I really wanted sibling pictures with Leo's newborn pictures, but since we had to cancel his official newborn shoot they'd have to wait??

Well, instead of feeling sad about missed picture opportunities with a new baby, I took matters into my own hands.

I requested a sibling photo shoot for my Mother's Day gift.

I selected outfits for the kids weeks ago - blue was the theme for our new baby boy.  I asked the kids to dress up and give me their best attitudes for a little photo shoot just for Mom.  They were pretty cooperative and sweet.  Kevin snapped some pictures of me with the kids and then I took the rest.

The pictures turned out even better than I could have hoped for a DIY photo shoot.

They are exactly what I wanted - a lifestyle photo shoot of the kids at home.

I love seeing the big kids with a baby and the way they both interact with him differently.  Olive is so sweet and gentle.  Fletcher gives Leo very loving big brother headlocks.  Ha!  I love the bare feet, missing teeth, real smiles and all from the comfort of our home.  I can't wait to get these pictures printed and hung up in our house.

We are a Jellycat loving family!  Olive's bunny has been everywhere with her for the last 7 years.  She loves her dearly.  She asked for a picture of just her and Bun Bun in their matching dresses.  Fletcher has a puppy.  Leo has as giraffe.  I'm hoping the boys always love their Jellycat animals as much as Olive.

So thankful for these three kids!
