hot metal studio

when i showed up, it was time for little noah to have breakfast.

so, while he had something to eat  i got to hang out with brand-new big brother ethan.

we talked about stickers and cutting with scissors then moved into the buttery yellow kitchen for some fun shots. -tif

after eating, noah was due for an outfit change,

and we got to get a few of him in his teeny wrinkled birthday suit.  -tif

how much do i love that your kitchen is yellow, emily…

and the fact that the boys matched it perfectly!

oh, by the way thanks for letting me put them on the table  -tif

wow to see a “baby” holding a baby is just so crazy.

you think they are still so little until you see a picture like this- jonathan

who says you can’t play with babies?!

while ethan was taking a little “play break” mom let me put her little one right in the middle of the action.

seriously, i love that you were that cool about me putting noah on here!  -tif

this reminds me of some Japanese flick based on a giant baby taking over the town.

nice!- jonathan

oh, no! the giant baby rolled over my house!  -tif

i love this face,

it was about nap time for ethan, and i had just bribed him with some fruit snacks, for a few more shots.

he was so geeked.

( note to self: get more bribery candy for shoots with kids )  -tif

ethan loves snow white, and had a few of these little figurines laying around.

guess who’s sleepy… -tif

this is normally how we judge if a kid is done getting his picture taken.

…nap time any one?

I wish adults did this when they were sleepy,

all day you’d just see people walking around with big puppy dog eyes,

full lips, and rubbing their eyes with the backs of their hands. ok maybe not.   -tif

oh yeh, i almost forgot.

ethan:  thanks for the cool picture and car sticker,  i wore it all day!  -tif

ok, i’m not going to say emmett and i hit it off right away. who am i kidding he was terrified of me!

i, of course was completely willing , but emmett took a little while to warm up.  -tif

little did i know, that when emmett and i were getting to know each other,

one of our teeny dogs was ripping our couch to shredded fluff

and tossing it into every nook and cranny of the first floor of our house.

seriously, together they weigh 25lb.s, how is it possible that one of them could even get the cushion off!

so i spent the entire afternoon sweeping and vacuuming slobbery fluff.   (fun!) -tif

This is henry…  by the way, i love dogs with people names.  I don’t know why, i just do.

Maybe it’s because of Doug from the movie “up”

Joanthan when will you quote Doug?

“i hid under your porch, and i love you because you are my master”.  -tif

mom, (erin) kept emmett in his jammies for the first part of his shoot.

whoops!, i guess his toes are growing a little faster than she had expected.  -tif

we headed into the cute little red room to change, and emmett still wasn’t too sure about me.  -tif

I love the red hoodie in the red room, with the nasal spray.

emmett is in this stage where anything is fun, except for toys.

while i was there, he didn’t play with one “made for babies” toy.

on the bright side, he’s easy to entertain.  -tif

thats it! i know!

I need a onesie!  is that how you spell it?

it would keep my bum crack from hanging out all the time!

does anyone know if i can get those in adult size? – jonathan

um, maybe you shouldn’t blog in the middle of the night, when i’m not around.

they do make adult onzies they are called unitards (i think).  please never wear one.  -tif

haha!  love the series hon!

it made me smile to see them.- jonathan

haha!  this one is great!

this is the first time i am seeing all of these pics!

nice work tiff!

you really captured some amazing moments with an adorable family- jonathan

we ventured all over the house, but by far, my favorite place was the kitchen.

soft colors and a big orange spoon-u-la, with matching bowl.

i think it may have been his favorite part of the shoot too.  he had a great time with this bowl! -tif

mmmm……..  is there any food in there!

that would be awesome if it was filled with brownie batter of cheesecake. – jonathan

“brownie batter of cheesecake”?!  you just made that up.

…we were pretending it was cookies though.  -tif

that was a typo of should be or- jonahtan

you did a kick but job on this shoot tiff!

i love ya and miss you!  i cant wait till this week is over!- jonathan
