barbara a hoffman photography: super mom to the rescue . . .

mothers of twins . . . whoa . . . i cannot even imagine what it would be like to have two babies at one time . . .

there was a time in my life when the thought of having twins would be so fun . . . there are twins on my grandmothers side . . . so naturally i always thought that there might be some sort of "passing of the genes" that just might allow this happen . . .

. . . but after spending the day at townsend park with amy and jamin . . . my first thought was . . . i'm glad that my dream of having twins never came true and second, i remember why you have children early in your married life, because i certainly was so tried after this shoot that i practically went straight to bed after i got home.

busy, busy, and more busy are the words that come rolling off my tongue . . . amy and jamin were so busy occupying their two little guys, i'm convinced that after the shoot they did not have to do their daily workout.

they ran circles to get their busy little guys in a pose . . . then ran and chased after them . . . comforted them . . . chased them some more . . . made sure that they were not crawling over to the creek . . .

. . . made sure that they were not making their way up the slide . . .

busy feeding . . . busy giving drinks . . . busy comforting . . . ethan loved being here but kept bumping his head . . .

. . . do you see what i mean . . . so busy . . . i'm glad that they ARE the parents!

in keeping with the very busy evening, i'm posting more of those very busy events . . .

amy trying to keep ethan in one place . . .

we did have success . . .

although mom (amy) was not too sure about this look that camden was giving . . . i got a real "charge" out of it . . .

jamin trying to hold the boys on the bridge but . . . of course they wanted to get down and get into the water!

then a quick game of paddy-cake . . .

. . . i did get this one . . .

then we thought maybe a little change of scenery . . . gave them each a couple of sticks to check out and little ethan in just a few seconds, (by the time my camera had done three consecutive shoots) he managed to turn all away around . . .

i then proceeded to get up and get him . . . his bother had to check out what was happening . . .

then we moved to another fun spot . . . the boys were then a little pre-occupied with a couple of teen-age boys skateboarding and not looking at the photographer (what was i thinking???) . . . and yep . . . you guessed it . . . i kindly asked the teen-agers if they would stand behind me and see if the little boys would look at them . . . so that's just what we did . . .

this is what i got . . .
