After my last post my dad pointed out that I seemed to have posted bazillions of pictures of Bella, and only a handful of Julietta. Touché, Papa. You are correct. Am I playing favorites? Moi? Certainly not I. But, I did come up with some very good excuses like: "She's an infant who's always sleeping", and - "She's partial to one position - horizontal - so all the shots of this two month stage are going to look exactly the same" (Remember I'm obsessed with photography at the moment). And when the truth finally came out: "how the heck am I supposed to chase Bella around and work on my photography while she's awake?" Well, I thought about the dilemma and turned it into a game(WAHOOO!), or a challenge if you will. I decided I'd better get my act together and start taking some cool pictures of Julietta too. We played make believe. I pretended to be a professional photographer and she was my model and we set up mock "shoots" - some on her changing table, some at the park, and some on our couch... Fun stuff. I know I made technical errors in quite a few of these, but I'm learning, little by little.So, here is my little squeaker. I call her "Squeaker" because instead of the grunts that Bella used to make, she makes small squeaky sounds. She talks and coos and says things like "goo". She's become quite sociable lately which Bella absolutely adores because that means she has more time to read her books and lay her toys on top of her and Julietta just smiles at her big sister.
Now, remember, although she was my "model" she didn't pose for ANY of these shots. Seriously, I got absolutely NO help from her. I swear it looks like I did, though, doesn't it? Isn't she just the cutest?!

I had to slip one in. She doesn't model either. I'm lucky if I can get her to look at the camera.
Alex was sleeping here. Otherwise he's the model in the family. I have another post with all the shots Alex posed for. He's a natural.
I know it looks like she's wearing lip gloss in this one. In a way she kind of was. It's called "drool" - nature's lip gloss.
So there you go. I hope I've done her justice. Who do you think she looks like? I'm not really sure. All I know is that she's beautiful inside and out.

OH she IS GORGEOUS! And those shots are to die for. I used to love to play this game too, and when I have any "off" time at all I like to try and play although the older the kiddos get, the harder the game is. I really need to get your tips and maybe your lens too! Thanks for sharing! :)
I love her! She is so gorgeous, she also looks like there is a bit of a stinker in her. Thank you for putting up these pics.
Okay, so when are you starting your business? I would so pay you to take pictures of my kids!
love em, I had another comment but with most thoughts they are here one minute and gone the next! its hard work being a mom especially when you forget half the time :)
Oh I remember, I would much rather have bella have a hard time looking at the camera than what I get from luke... "CHEESE" and super grin that is super cheese-mo, ravenna to me these days is a better model:)
I am in love! She is so beautiful, Sarah! And I think she looks like you at this point. Those pictures are amazing. Look like they could be in a magazine! I want you to take some of my Ray...
I agree! Squeaker is a mini-Sarah! She is absolutely precious and your photography is getting so good! Nice job, Sassy!
Fabulous photography Sarah! The girls are SO adorable! My favorite is the one of Alex and Julietta...and your reflection in his sunglasses.
I can't believe how's she's changed. I love the nickname you've given her, it is as adorable as she is. Beautiful! Can't wait to hug and kiss her in person!
