Sneak Preview

Our next door neighbor's son and his wife had a daughter about 2 months ago.  She was born at 28 weeks and basically, she's a miracle baby. 

They asked if I still had any of  Kendall's baby items that I was looking to get rid of.  I donated alot of the twins' preemie outfits and diapers back to the NICU but I still have a few things that I wanted to give them.  A portable crib, tons of receiving blankets, socks and a car seat.

The son is an amateur photographer so I jokingly said we could do an even swap.  A holiday photo shoot for the baby items.  He took me up on it. 

This past Sunday, we met in an old, historic town that is about 15 minutes away.   I was so nervous about trying to get decent photos.   In years past, the twins just would not cooperate.

And, I'll be honest.  I have saved all of these cute holiday photo ideas on Pinterest, just hoping that maybe we could capture some great photos ourselves.

We walked through the town, stopping to take pictures on different benches and in front of rustic looking walls.  I tried to keep my expectations low.  After about 10 minutes, the kids were really having a great time. 

They seemed to "get it".   We took pictures for about an hour and I felt really good about the shoot.

The photographer has only given me a sneak preview of a few shots but I am so pleased and SUPER HAPPY with them so far!
