I took pictures of Big Brother S way back when he was 9 weeks old, and so when Little Brother J arrived on Valentine’s Day, it was only fitting that we get some shots of him at the same age as well. I gladly swooped in on this chance to hang out with this wonderful family again, and to create some new memories with them.

J was slightly less than impressed with me, and with my camera. Always with the suspicious look on his face, I’m convinced he was just making sure he didn’t have to share his toys with me, in addition to his older brother.

Big Brother, hamming it up:

S wasn’t really up for sitting still this morning, but we still managed to grab a couple of shots of him being “gentle!” with little J.

The next few I LOVE, because they’re not posed. I just had everyone sit on the couch, and watched them interact with each other. I completely love images like this. This is their life, their home, their love. And it’s amazing.

I think it’s safe to say at least one brother warmed up to me by the end of the session. (That’s my knee in the corner of the first one, he was *very* excited about seeing his mug on the back of the camera after I took each shot. It was too cute!)

I get a lump in my throat from this one. Again, not posed at all, they were just waiting for mom to come back with S, who was building me a pyramid on the floor.

And one last one from Mr. Suspicious. This image pretty much sums up his feelings for me…at least for now. I’ll win him over eventually!
