Welcoming Wren

Wren is here! Don't you just love baby yawns.
Chris and Robert are always a ton of fun to photograph. For example, Wren isn't really into the session yet and is not happy. So they decide if everyone crys too Wren will look and feel right at home. Cora can't help but let a smile sneak out at her parent's mock sobs. Here Miss Cora is playing sleepy to match her little sister.

Cora is always a gem - you might remember her second birthday album. She is now 4 and the perfect big sis.
Daddy's first little girl.
Cora and her mom - gorgeous eyes on the two of them.

Wren's turn with mom.
Wren enjoys the calm quiet of mom and dad's room to the lights and background that we brought with us so we made the most of her happiness. A cozy cuddle.
I had to include this! When one of the family's tree took a turn for the worst, Robert's creative flair came out for all to see. How ideal this is to celebrate their newest addition to the family - no plastic storks for this group! And of course, we love the reference too.

Chris was actually one of the masterminds behind persuading us that Carpe Vita was the perfect name for our business. Scott (dad in previous entry welcoming Calum) was another contributing mastermind - perfect that they should both be blessed with healthy new babies within weeks of one another.
As we understand, eventually this work of art and love will find a new home in the backyard. Some of the neighbors just don't seem to get it.

Houston Session

Friday, Kim flew to Houston to photograph the newest addition to the Gensch family - Calum. We have been photographing the Gensches since they were first expecting Liam who is now two.


Last year, they moved the family to Houston for career opportunities and we got to photograph them when they were in town visiting last fall. At that point, Liam pretty much sat and crawled around and had a grand time with the fall leaves. So to get to photograph Liam now as a big brother and on the move was great fun.

We love showing the relationship of size to help us remember when. One day this air conditioning grate will come up to Liam's knees...

Here, Liam is having fun looking for Max the cat at their front window - thanks to Max for all his help.

Scott Gensch coined the tag "Life is Grand" for Carpe Vita Photography and it is so totally true as is evident by their many blessings.
In a quiet moment, Liam was still for a few moments and we were able to document some of cuddling with his dad. They grow up sooooo fast, so we have to slow down time whenever we can.

What a patient and loving cat Max is. This photo shows off Liam's curls soon to be trimmed off.
Liam sees that the family dogs have made their way into the living room and wants to join in on the fun.
The Gensches are planning a trip back to Dallas, this fall and we look forward to photographing them again.
