Briggs Boys

Oh what fun it is to be a child! Adrian and Isaac got the chance to splash around in puddles of rain. We were so close to rescheduling the photo shoot because of the rain...but I'm so glad we didn't! Thanks Tisha and Dave for letting them get wet and dirty.

Briggs Family

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! How can they NOT melt your heart!
I've had the good fortune and blessing to know the Briggs family for the past year. And yes, they are as beautiful on the inside as they are one the outside!

Briggs Twins | 3-months

Isaac and Adrian are growing strong everyday. It's amazing to see how Isaac's hair is turning red and how Adrian still likes to put his finger on his lip.

Tisha and Dave to an amazing job of documenting the boys' progress from In-vitro fertilization on their own blog.

Here are some of my favorite shots from their 3-month session and the link to their slideshow!
And here is the link to their newborn slideshow if you didn't get to see it!

Isaac & Adrian Briggs | newborn session

Isaac & Adrian Briggs came into this world through In Vitro Fertilization. Tisha and Dave have a blog about their journey. Here's a snippet from Tisha a few days after giving birth.

"It was a long road to get Adrian and Isaac, but I would go through every bit of it again. They are perfect. I never knew I could love like this. I have so many hopes and dreams for them. I am so glad that Dave and I never gave up. We struggled through trying to get pregnant for 3 years, spent thousands and thousands of dollars and shed millions of tears on fertility treatments, and we both suffered through a very difficult pregnancy and an even worse birth. I am glad that we realized it would be worth it. I guess I never realized the reward would be so great. I feel like we are the two most blessed people on earth."

Here is a link to their newborn slideshow.

Isaac & Adrian Briggs | newborn session

I simply couldn't wait to share these images with the world! Last year, I came across the baby art of photographer Carrie Sandoval in San Diego, CA. To say that she is an amazing photographer would be an understatement. She is pure genius! Her newborn photographs are filled with such emotion. If you have time, take a look at her website. It will make you want to have a baby of your own!
Hmm.Hmm.Hmm. John. Let's talk.

I began to study Carrie's techniques. I was determined to learn how to safely and creatively use fabric to suspend a baby in the air. I practiced and practiced with dolls with little success. But nearly a year later, I have conquered the technique.

First up...the Briggs twins. Isaac and Adrian came into the world November 12, a little premature and had to spend 12 days in the hospital. As soon as they were well, Tisha and Dave brought them to the studio.

On Monday, Adrian weighed 4 lbs. 9 oz. and Isaac weighed 6 lbs. 3 oz. I think this first photograph illustrates their size difference perfectly:)
Thank you Tisha and Dave for trusting me with your new children. I am blessed and honored to have met them.
