I first took photos of this family last summer, when baby Nuwa was QUITE new (just a few weeks old!) and Rowan was rambunctiously playing in the sprinkler. When their mom called me to schedule a family portrait session for Christmas, I wasn’t surprised to see that Rowan was just as rowdy… but Nuwa, even though she’d grown so much was still quiet, contemplative, and serene. Two siblings can be so different!
A soggy day kept us from the park where I’d hoped to play with the girls (sensibly, so they wouldn’t take a mud bath) but they are such a gorgeous family and they have such a gorgeous house that I couldn’t have asked for better.
Meet the family: Proud parents to two little girls…
Oldest daughter, Rowan, a vivacious and energetic, sometimes a troublemaker. Code name: “The Destroyer”…
Youngest daughter, Nuwa, master of stare-downs and a very “old soul.” Code name: “Pork Chop”…
They’re both sweetie pies and so much fun to play with and–
HEEEYYYYY… Did you forget about ME?
No, no, of course not, Rowan. It’s just that Nuwa was nomming something and drooling so cutely…
HEY! I’m still over here!
Of course you are! And you’re a very lucky girl. Your momma loves you both so very much!
